Reaiah (personal name, 'Yahweh has seen')
This theophoric name, meaning 'Yahweh has seen,' identifies three distinct post-exilic or late individuals: a Judahite, a Reubenite, and a post-exilic returnee. The name reflects the common Hebrew naming pattern invoking divine observation or care. Minor textual variations and Septuagint renderings suggest some manuscript uncertainty.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Personal name for three individuals: (1) a Judahite in 1 Chronicles 4:2 (possibly identical with Haroeh in 2:52); (2) a Reubenite in 1 Chronicles 5:5; (3) a post-exilic family head in Ezra 2:47 and Nehemiah 7:50 (temple servants). The theophoric element יָה/י׳ combined with רָאָה ('see') yields 'Yahweh has seen.' Septuagint renderings vary (Ραδα, Ρεια, Ρηχα, Ραια), suggesting textual fluidity in the transmission of genealogical lists. Multilingual glosses primarily transliterate: Spanish 'Reaya/Reaías,' French preserves the Hebrew forms, German likewise—all treating it as an opaque proper name. 4×
