Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָמִין (yamin), meaning "right hand" or "south."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name מִיָּמִן (Mijamin), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: Mijamin is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to individuals within the priestly and Levitical lines.

Context: Mijamin is a name attributed to several individuals in the Old Testament, primarily associated with the priestly and Levitical orders. The name appears in various genealogical and administrative contexts, highlighting the roles and responsibilities of those bearing the name within the religious and communal life of Israel.

• 1 Chronicles 24:9: Mijamin is listed as the head of the sixth division of priests in the time of King David. This division was part of the 24 priestly courses established to organize the service in the Temple. "The sixth to Mijamin, the seventh to Hakkoz," (BSB).

• Nehemiah 10:7: Mijamin is mentioned among the priests who sealed the covenant during the time of Nehemiah, indicating his role in the religious reforms and the reaffirmation of the covenant with God. "Mijamin, Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah. These were the priests." (BSB).

• Nehemiah 12:5: Another reference to Mijamin is found in the list of priests who returned with Zerubbabel and Jeshua, suggesting continuity of the priestly line and their involvement in the restoration of the Temple. "Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah," (BSB).

• Nehemiah 12:17: Mijamin is also noted in the context of the priestly families during the time of Joiakim, son of Jeshua. "Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin and of Moadiah, Piltai;" (BSB).

The recurrence of the name Mijamin in these contexts underscores the importance of the priestly lineage and the continuity of religious duties across generations. The name itself, meaning "from the right hand," may symbolize strength, favor, or authority, reflecting the esteemed position of those who served in the Temple.
