Hosen SEE HOSE. Hoshai'ah (Heb. Hoshayah', הוּשֵׁעְיָה, whom Jehovah delivers; Sept, ᾿Ωσαϊ vα , but identifies those named in Jeremiah 42:1; Jeremiah 43, 2, yet changes in both passages to Maaaaian'; Vulg. Oscjas), the name of two men.
1. The father of Jehazaniah, which latter besought Jeremiah to favor the flight of the remnant of the Jews into Egypt (Jeremiah 42:1). He is apparently the same with the father of Azariah, which latter is mentioned as rejecting the advice of Jeremiah after he had thus solicited it (Jeremiah 43:2). B.C. 587.
2. One who headed the procession of the chief men of Judah along the southern section of the newly rebuilt walls of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 12:32). B.C. 446.
