Where Jozadak appears in Scripture
וַיָּקָם יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וְאֶחָיו הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וּזְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל וְאֶחָיו וַיִּבְנוּ אֶת-מִזְבַּח אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהַֽעֲלוֹת עָלָיו עֹלוֹת כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית לְבוֹאָם אֶל-בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לִירוּשָׁלִַם בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי הֵחֵלּוּ זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל וְיֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וּשְׁאָר אֲחֵיהֶם׀ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הַבָּאִים מֵֽהַשְּׁבִי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וַיַּֽעֲמִידוּ אֶת-הַלְוִיִּם מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמַעְלָה לְנַצֵּחַ עַל-מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית-יְהוָֽה׃
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
בֵּאדַיִן קָמוּ זְרֻבָּבֶל בַּר-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל וְיֵשׁוּעַ בַּר-יֽוֹצָדָק וְשָׁרִיו לְמִבְנֵא בֵּית אֱלָהָא דִּי בִירֽוּשְׁלֶם וְעִמְּהוֹן (נביאיא) נְבִיַּיָּא דִֽי-אֱלָהָא מְסָֽעֲדִין לְהֽוֹן׃
Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
וַיִּמָּצֵא מִבְּנֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר הֹשִׁיבוּ נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת מִבְּנֵי יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וְאֶחָיו מַֽעֲשֵׂיָה וֶֽאֱלִיעֶזֶר וְיָרִיב וּגְדַלְיָֽה׃
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
אֵלֶּה בִּימֵי יֽוֹיָקִים בֶּן-יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וּבִימֵי נְחֶמְיָה הַפֶּחָה וְעֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן הַסּוֹפֵֽר׃
These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
