Usage: Jotsadak is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a notable priestly figure. Context: Jotsadak, also spelled Jehozadak, is a significant priestly figure in the post-exilic period of Israel's history. He is the son of Seraiah, the last high priest before the Babylonian exile, and the father of Jeshua (Joshua), who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Temple after the return from Babylonian captivity. Jotsadak himself did not serve as high priest because he was taken into exile to Babylon. His lineage, however, continued to hold the high priesthood, with his son Jeshua serving as the high priest during the time of Zerubbabel. The name Jotsadak emphasizes the righteousness of God, a theme that resonates with the restoration and renewal of the Jewish community after the exile. The Berean Standard Bible references Jotsadak in passages such as 1 Chronicles 6:14-15, Ezra 3:2, and Haggai 1:1, highlighting his genealogical significance and his connection to the priestly duties in the Second Temple period.
