Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for this specific Hebrew proper noun in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a unique name tied to a specific historical and genealogical context within the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: This proper noun is used in the context of a family or group of people who returned from the Babylonian exile. It is mentioned in the genealogical records of those who participated in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.

Context: Pachath-Moab is a name that appears in the post-exilic period of Israel's history. It is associated with a family or clan that returned from Babylonian captivity. The name is mentioned in the context of the rebuilding efforts in Jerusalem, specifically in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
• In the book of Ezra 2:6 (BSB), it is recorded: "the descendants of Pahath-Moab, through the line of Jeshua and Joab, 2,812." This indicates that the family of Pachath-Moab was significant in number and played a role in the restoration of the Jewish community.
• Similarly, in Nehemiah 7:11 (BSB), the text states: "the descendants of Pahath-Moab, through the line of Jeshua and Joab, 2,818." This slight variation in number between Ezra and Nehemiah is typical of ancient record-keeping and does not detract from the importance of the family.
• The name Pachath-Moab suggests a connection to Moab, possibly indicating that the family had historical ties or governance over the region of Moab. However, during the post-exilic period, it primarily denotes a group within the Jewish community committed to the restoration of their homeland.
