Paseah (personal name meaning 'limper' or 'lame one')
A personal name borne by three different men in post-exilic Israel. The name derives from the root meaning 'to limp' and likely signifies physical disability. One Paseah appears in Judah's genealogy (1 Chr 4:12), another headed a post-exilic family that returned from Babylon (Ezra 2:49; Neh 7:51), and a third was the father of a wall-builder during Nehemiah's restoration project (Neh 3:6). The Septuagint renders the name variously, reflecting uncertainty about its pronunciation and meaning.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Though the domain assignment suggests 'Festivals' (perhaps confusing this with פֶּסַח 'Passover'), the glosses clearly identify this as a personal name (Paseah, Paseach). English, Spanish, and French transliterations consistently treat it as a proper name. The three individuals are distinct persons sharing the same name across different generations and contexts. 4×
