the ninth to Jeshua
Jeshua is a name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with priestly or leadership roles. In this context, Jeshua is one of the heads of the priestly divisions established by King David. The division of priests into 24 groups was a system designed to organize temple service, ensuring that the duties were shared and that the worship of God was conducted in an orderly manner. This system reflects the importance of structure and order in worship, a principle that is echoed in the New Testament, particularly in 1 Corinthians 14:40, which emphasizes doing everything "decently and in order." The name Jeshua is a variant of Joshua, meaning "The Lord is salvation," which is significant as it points to the ultimate salvation brought by Jesus Christ, whose name in Hebrew is Yeshua.

the tenth to Shecaniah
Shecaniah is another name that appears in various contexts in the Old Testament, often associated with those who returned from the Babylonian exile. The division of Shecaniah as the tenth group highlights the continuity and faithfulness of the priestly line, even through periods of exile and return. The name Shecaniah means "The Lord dwells," which is significant in the context of temple service, as the temple was considered the dwelling place of God among His people. This concept of God dwelling with His people is fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is described in John 1:14 as the Word who "became flesh and dwelt among us." The division of priests, including Shecaniah's, underscores the theme of God's presence and the importance of maintaining a faithful priesthood to facilitate worship and atonement for the people.

Names with Meaning

Continuity of Service
The division of duties ensures continuous worship, teaching us the importance of consistency and faithfulness in our spiritual practices.

Priesthood of Believers
As believers, we are called to be a royal priesthood, serving God and others with dedication and holiness.(11) Jeshuah.--Heb., Y?sh-a'; in Greek, ?????, Jesus (Ezra 2:2). The name only occurs in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. The Syriac and Arabic read "Elisha" here.

Shecaniah.--1Chronicles 3:21. This was a common name in the post-exilic age (Iah is a neighbour).

Verse 11. - Jeshuah. In Ezra 2:36 and Nehemiah 7:39 certain "children of Jedaiah," who returned from Babylon, are mentioned as belonging to the "house of Jeshua," and distinguished presumably thereby from children of another Jedaiah. This accords with the fact that in Nehemiah 12:6, 7, and again in 19, 21, two families of the name Jedaiah are given in the priest-lists. We may, therefore, conclude that families descended from the Jeshuah of our present verse were among those who returned from captivity (Ezra 2:36; Nehemiah 7:39). Shecaniah (see Nehemiah 12:3, where spelt Shechaniah). Of those similarly named in Ezra 8:3, 5, the former may possibly have been descendants of this Shecaniah, the latter not so.
