Who he was

Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, is mentioned in Nehemiah as one of the individuals who helped rebuild a section of Jerusalem's wall. He was a high priest during the post-exilic period and is also mentioned in the book of Ezra. Jeshua worked alongside other leaders and volunteers to repair and fortify the city's defenses, which had been destroyed during the Babylonian conquest. The rebuilding of the wall was a significant event in the restoration of Jerusalem and a symbol of the Jewish people's determination to reclaim their homeland.
