Study note
Setting — The narrator records a roster of priestly leaders and their associates during the temple worship restoration in the days of Jeshua.
The words — יְדַֽעְיָֽה (ye.Da'.Yah) identifies Jedaiah, while שְׁמַֽעְיָ֥ה (she.ma'.Yah) identifies Shemaiah, both functioning as proper names in a genealogical list.
The thread — These names appear in parallel priestly records at 1 Chronicles 9:10 and Nehemiah 11:10.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to track the documented continuity of priestly leadership and their designated roles in post-exilic worship.
