Sheal

People · Updated 2026-05-07

Sheal appears once in the UPDV, named in Ezra's list of post-exilic men descended from Bani who had married foreign wives and were required to put them away.

A Returnee Who Put Away a Foreign Wife

In the closing roster of Ezra 10, the sons of Bani are itemized as part of the wider reform: "And of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, Jeremoth." (Ezr 10:29). Sheal stands between Jashub and Jeremoth in the line; nothing else about his life is recorded.
