Raamiah, a leader who returned from exile (parallel to Reelaiah in Ezra)
This personal name appears in Nehemiah 7:7 in the list of leaders returning from Babylonian exile. It corresponds to 'Reelaiah' in the parallel passage Ezra 2:2, illustrating the kind of textual variation common in duplicate genealogical lists. Such name variations between Chronicles-Ezra-Nehemiah parallel passages likely reflect different manuscript traditions or dialectal pronunciations. Both names appear in identical structural positions in their respective lists.
