Calitas

VIEW:48 DATA:01-04-2020
CALITAS.—One of the Levites who undertook to repudiate his ‘strange wife,’ 1Es_9:23. He bore a second name, Colius. A Levite of the same name, and probably the same person, is mentioned in 1Es_9:48 as one of those who expounded the Law. See also Kelaiah.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


kal?i-tas (Καλιτάς, Kalitás, or Καλειταίς, Kaleitaı́s): One of the Levites who put away their foreign wives at the request of Esdras (Ezra), 1 Esdras 9:23, ?Colius, who was called Calitas.? It is the Greek form of Hebrew Kelita (compare parallel passage, Ezr_10:23, elaiah, the same is Kelita?). He is also named with those who explained the law when read to the people by Esdras (1 Esdras 9:48; compare Neh_8:7). It is not certain whether he is to be identified with the Kelita of Neh_10:10 (one of the Levites who signed the covenant made by Nehemiah). The word probably means ?dwarf.?
