Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּדָה (padah), meaning "to ransom" or "to redeem."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2090 (ἑτοιμάζω, hetoimazō): While not a direct translation of Pedajah, this Greek word means "to prepare" or "to make ready." The concept of preparation and readiness can be seen as thematically related to the idea of redemption, as both involve a process of making something ready or complete, akin to the redemptive work implied in the name Pedajah.

Pedajah's presence in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible underscores the theme of divine redemption and the restoration of God's people, reflecting the broader narrative of deliverance and hope found throughout the Scriptures.

Usage: Pedajah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals.

Context: • Pedajah, Father of Zebudah: Pedajah is mentioned as the father of Zebudah, who was the mother of King Jehoiakim of Judah (2 Kings 23:36). This connection places Pedajah within the royal lineage of Judah.
• Pedajah, Father of Zerubbabel: Another notable mention of Pedajah is as the father of Zerubbabel, a leader of the Jewish exiles returning from Babylon (1 Chronicles 3:19). Zerubbabel played a significant role in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, making Pedajah an important figure in the post-exilic community.
• Pedajah, a Levite: In Nehemiah 8:4, Pedajah is listed among the Levites who assisted Ezra in reading the Law to the people. This highlights his role in the religious and spiritual life of the community during the time of restoration.
• Pedajah, a Signatory of the Covenant: In Nehemiah 10:14, Pedajah is named among those who sealed the covenant, indicating his commitment to the renewed covenantal relationship with God.
