Parosh פַּרְעֹשׁ
A man involved in repairing Jerusalem's wall
Who is Parosh in the Bible?
Parosh was a man who participated in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall under Nehemiah's leadership during the post-exilic period. According to Nehemiah 3:25, Parosh worked on repairs to the wall near the house of Pedaiah, son of Parosh, in a strategic section that included an angle and a tower projecting from the upper palace near the court of the guard. While Parosh is mentioned only briefly in scripture, his inclusion in the account of the wall's reconstruction demonstrates the widespread community effort required to restore Jerusalem's defenses after the Babylonian exile.
