Yeriyahu/Yeriyyah/Jeriah, chief of Levitical course
A Levitical personal name appearing in 1 Chronicles' descriptions of David's organization of temple service. The name appears with two spellings: יְרִיָּהוּ (Yeriyahu) in 23:19 and 24:23, and the shorter יְרִיָּה (Yeriyyah) in 26:31. All three references identify him as chief of one of the Levitical courses or divisions. The name may be related to יְרִיאֵל, possibly meaning 'Yah teaches' or 'founded by Yah.' The Greek versions show typical variation (Ιδουδ, Ιερια, Ιεδδι, Ιεδειμος), reflecting the challenges of rendering this particular Hebrew name into Greek phonology.

1. sense 1 — A Levitical leader's name preserved in Chronicles' records of temple organization. The variation between longer (-yahu) and shorter (-yah) forms of the theophoric ending is standard in Hebrew names. As chief of a Levitical course, Yeriyahu held responsibility for organizing temple service rotations, making his name part of the institutional memory of Second Temple worship patterns, even if his individual biography is lost. 3×
