Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁלַם (shalam), meaning "to be complete" or "to be at peace."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Meshullam in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the concept of being "complete" or "at peace" can be related to Greek words like εἰρήνη (eirēnē, Strong's Greek 1515), meaning "peace."

Usage: Meshullam is a proper noun used as a masculine name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of several individuals mentioned in various contexts.

Context: Meshullam is a name attributed to multiple individuals in the Old Testament, each playing different roles in the historical and religious narrative of Israel:

• Meshullam, the son of Zerubbabel: Mentioned in 1 Chronicles 3:19, he is a descendant of the royal line of Judah, highlighting the continuation of Davidic lineage post-exile.

• Meshullam, a leader during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah: He is noted for his involvement in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. In Nehemiah 3:4, 3:6, and 3:30, Meshullam is listed among those who repaired sections of the wall, demonstrating his commitment to the restoration of the city.

• Meshullam, a priest: In Nehemiah 12:13, he is mentioned as one of the priests during the time of Joiakim, indicating his role in the religious leadership of the community.

• Meshullam, a Levite: In 1 Chronicles 9:12, he is identified as a Levite, emphasizing his service in the temple and his contribution to the spiritual life of Israel.

• Meshullam, a signatory of the covenant: In Nehemiah 10:20, he is one of the leaders who sealed the covenant, showing his dedication to the spiritual renewal and commitment to the laws of God.

The recurrence of the name Meshullam across different contexts and roles underscores the commonality of the name and the diverse contributions of individuals bearing it to the post-exilic community of Israel.
