Pedaiah, father of a man who made repairs to the wall of Jerusalem in Nehemiah's time.
- A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.25;
- only referred to as Pedaiah פְּדָיָה;
- a son of Parosh פַּרְעֹשׁ.
Pedaiah was the father of a man who helped repair the wall of Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah, according to Nehemiah 3:25. The text mentions "the house of Pedaiah son of Parosh" as a reference point for the section of wall being repaired by Pedaiah's unnamed son. This suggests that Pedaiah's family had a significant presence in Jerusalem and may have been involved in the restoration efforts.
