Jehiel is mentioned in 2Ch.35.8 as one of the officers of the temple during the reign of King Josiah. Along with Zechariah and another Jehiel, he gave animals for the Passover offerings. This chapter describes Josiah's celebration of the Passover, which was carried out with great zeal and in accordance with the Law of Moses. The officers of the temple, including Jehiel, contributed sheep, goats, and cattle for the Passover sacrifices, demonstrating their support for the king's religious reforms and their dedication to the proper observance of the festival. The text does not provide any additional information about this Jehiel's background or his specific role in the temple administration. However, his contribution to the Passover offerings highlights the importance of the temple officers in facilitating the religious celebrations and ensuring that the necessary resources were available for the sacrifices.
