Context: • Keluhai is mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile, specifically in the Book of Nehemiah. In Nehemiah 10:10, Keluhai is listed among the priests who sealed the covenant, indicating his role and significance within the religious leadership of the restored community in Jerusalem. This inclusion highlights the importance of maintaining religious and cultural identity through the priesthood during the period of rebuilding and restoration. The name itself, meaning "completion" or "perfection," may reflect the aspirations or characteristics valued by the community at that time, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises and the restoration of the people to their land.
