Mijamin, name of several priests
A priestly name appearing in various spellings across Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. It designates a priestly division established during David's organization of temple service (1 Chronicles 24:9), priests who returned with Zerubbabel (Nehemiah 12:5), those who sealed Nehemiah's covenant (Nehemiah 10:7), and one who had married a foreign woman during the exile (Ezra 10:25). The variation in spelling reflects the fluid orthography of Hebrew names in the post-exilic period.
