1When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.

1 Chronicles 6:14–15 says that Seraiah became the father of Jehozadak, and that Jehozadak went into captivity when the LORD carried Judah and Jerusalem away by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar. Ezra 3:2 names Jeshua the son of Jozadak. Haggai 1:1 names Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 1 Chronicles 6:14–15 and Haggai 1:1 write the same name in both editions (the Korean 여호사닥, WEB Jehozadak), and Ezra 3:2 writes another in both (the Korean 요사닥, WEB Jozadak). 1 Chronicles 6:15 names no son of Jehozadak, Haggai 1:1 names no father of Jehozadak, and Ezra 3:1–3 names no father of Jozadak. This collection records Jehozadak (son of Seraiah) (person-jehozadak), Jehozadak (father of Joshua) (person-jehozadak-joshua) and Jozadak (person-jozadak) apart, and does not decide whether any of them are the same man.
Unresolved interpretation: Joshua son of Jehozadak and Jeshua son of Jozadak
- Ezra 3:2 says, “Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, and built the altar of the God of Israel”.

13Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, spoke the LORD’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says the LORD.
14The LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of Armies, their God,

Ezra 3:2 and 5:2 name “Jeshua the son of Jozadak” and give him no title; Haggai 1:1, 1:12 and 1:14 name “Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest”. In both editions the two books write the name and the father’s name otherwise (the Korean 예수아 and 여호수아, 요사닥 and 여호사닥; WEB Jeshua and Joshua, Jozadak and Jehozadak). Ezra 5:2 says that Zerubbabel and Jeshua rose up and began to build God’s house which is at Jerusalem, and Haggai 1:14–15, that Zerubbabel, Joshua, and all the remnant of the people came and worked on the house of the LORD of Armies, their God, in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. The text does not say whether Jeshua and Joshua are one man. This collection relates no deed or date of the one book to the other, records two entries (person-jeshua-jozadak, person-joshua-jehozadak) and does not decide it.
