Rehabiah, grandson of Moses through Eliezer
A Levitical name meaning 'Yah has made wide' or 'Yah has enlarged,' borne by the son of Eliezer and grandson of Moses. All five occurrences appear in Chronicles' Levitical genealogies, where his line is traced for temple service assignments. In 1 Chronicles 23:17 his lineage is established, 24:21 records his descendants' priestly division, and 26:25 connects his family to treasuries dedicated by David. The name itself echoes the root rahav ('to be wide'), suggesting divine generosity in expanding one's heritage.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The proper name of Moses' grandson through Eliezer, appearing only in Levitical genealogies of Chronicles. Spanish 'Rehabías'/'Rejabia' and English 'Rehabiah' show standard transliteration variation. The name is theophoric, compounding the root for wideness/enlargement with the divine name Yah, expressing the theological idea that God broadens one's inheritance. His five mentions (1 Chr 23:17; 24:21; 26:25) all serve the Chronicler's interest in legitimating Levitical service lines. 5×
