Magpiash

Magpiash appears once, as a name in the list of those who sealed the covenant in the days of Nehemiah. Whether the entry stands for an individual or a family head is not specified; the only datum is the signature.

A Sealer of the Covenant

The list of names in Nehemiah 10 records the heads who put their seal to the covenant under the governor: "Now those who sealed were: Nehemiah the governor, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah," (Neh 10:1). Magpiash stands among the names that follow in the list: "Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir," (Neh 10:20). No further detail is given — no genealogy, no role, no later mention. The single appearance is the entire record.
