Piltai

Piltai is mentioned in Nehemiah 12:17 as the head of the priestly family of Moadiah during the time of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, who served as the high priest in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. Piltai is listed among the heads of the priestly families who were recorded in the days of Joiakim (Nehemiah 12:12–21). This suggests that Piltai was a prominent priest who led his family in their duties and responsibilities within the temple service. The mention of Piltai in this context highlights the importance of the priestly families and their leadership in maintaining the religious life of the Jewish community after the exile.
