The name "Paseah" is derived from a Hebrew root meaning "limping" or "lame," though the significance of this name in relation to the individual is not explicitly detailed in the biblical text.<br><br>1. <b>Paseah, the Ancestor of a Family of Temple Servants:</b><br> Paseah is first mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile. In the book of Ezra, Paseah is listed as the ancestor of a family of temple servants, known as the Nethinim, who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel. <a href="/ezra/2-49.htm">Ezra 2:49</a> states, "the descendants of Uzza, the descendants of Paseah, the descendants of Besai." This passage highlights Paseah's role in the restoration of the temple service, emphasizing the continuity of worship practices and the reestablishment of religious order following the exile.<br><br>2. <b>Paseah, the Father of Joiada:</b><br> Another mention of Paseah is found in the book of Nehemiah, where he is identified as the father of Joiada. <a href="/nehemiah/3-6.htm">Nehemiah 3:6</a> records, "Joiada son of Paseah and Meshullam son of Besodeiah repaired the Old Gate; they laid its beams and installed its doors, bolts, and bars." This reference places Paseah within the context of the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls, a significant event that symbolizes the physical and spiritual renewal of the Jewish community. Joiada's involvement in the reconstruction efforts suggests that Paseah's lineage was actively engaged in the communal and religious life of post-exilic Jerusalem.<br><br>3. <b>Paseah in the Genealogical Record:</b><br> Paseah is also mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. In <a href="/1_chronicles/4-12.htm">1 Chronicles 4:12</a>, it is written, "Eshton was the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Ir-Nahash. These were the men of Recah." This passage situates Paseah within the broader context of Judah's descendants, contributing to the chronicler's aim of preserving the tribal and familial heritage of Israel. The inclusion of Paseah in this genealogy underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, reflecting the continuity of God's covenantal promises through successive generations.<br><br>In summary, Paseah is a figure whose mention in the Bible, though brief, connects to significant themes of restoration, continuity, and covenant. His descendants played roles in the religious and communal life of Israel during critical periods of rebuilding and renewal. The references to Paseah in the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1 Chronicles highlight the enduring legacy of those who contributed to the spiritual and physical restoration of the Jewish people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Paseah</span><p>passing over; halting<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Paseah</span><p>(<i>lame</i>). <ol> <li>Son of Eshton, in an obscure fragment of the genealogies of Judah.
