REAIAH

re-a'-ya, re-i'-a (re'ayah, "Yah has seen"; Septuagint:

Codex Vaticanus, Rhada, A, Rheia):

(1) The eponym of a Calebite family (1 Chronicles 4:2). The word "Reaiah" should probably be substituted for "Haroeh" in 1 Chronicles 2:52, but both forms may be corruptions.

(2) A Reubenite (1 Chronicles 5:5, the King James Version "Reaia").

See JOEL.

(3) The family name of a company of Nethinim (Ezra 2:47; Nehemiah 7:50 = 1 Esdras 5:31).
