Priest in Hebrew Bible · Religious Figures

Joiakim is the name of a priest mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in Deuterocanonical books, and in later extra-biblical sources. Reconstructing his role in history is complicated by a variety of claims made in these texts.

Joiakim is read about 3 times a day, in 5 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 14 October 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.

About this person

The chronology of Joiakim's tenure as priest has been the subject of dispute, as has the question of whether Joiakim was high priest. The Hebrew Bible, which mentions Joiakim only in the Book of Nehemiah, Chapter 12, does not call him "high priest," though Josephus does use the term for him.
