Jozadak, 'Yahweh is righteous,' father of Joshua the high priest of the restoration era
A contracted form of the name Jehozadak meaning 'Yahweh is righteous,' identifying the father of Joshua (Jeshua) the high priest who led worship in the rebuilt temple. The name connects priestly legitimacy across the exile: Jozadak was carried into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar (1 Chr 5:41), and his son Joshua became the first high priest of the Second Temple. All four occurrences here use the shortened form יוֹצָדָק found in Ezra and Nehemiah.

1. sense 1 — The proper name of the exiled priest whose son Joshua became high priest of the restoration, appearing in the contracted form Jozadak (יוֹצָדָק). English uses 'Yotsadaq,' Spanish distinguishes 'Josadac' and 'Yotzadaq,' while French renders 'Jotsadak.' The name anchors the priestly genealogy in Ezra 3:2, 8 (temple rebuilding), Ezra 10:18 (the mixed-marriage crisis), and Neh 12:26 (the priestly registry), always identifying Joshua's father to establish high-priestly credentials. 4×
