Maaseiah — 'work of Yah,' a theophoric name borne by numerous priests, Levites, and officials
Meaning 'work of Yahweh,' Maaseiah (מַעֲשֵׂיָהוּ / מַעֲשֵׂיָה) is one of the most frequently recurring personal names in the Hebrew Bible, borne by at least a dozen distinct individuals spanning the monarchic and post-exilic periods. It appears for Levitical musicians under David (1 Chr 15:18, 20), military commanders under Joash (2 Chr 23:1), officials of Josiah (2 Chr 34:8), and multiple priests in Jeremiah's day (Jer 21:1; 29:25; 37:3). After the exile it recurs for several men in Ezra and Nehemiah's reforms. The theophoric element -yahu testifies to families who confessed Yahweh's sovereign activity.
