[Cheldai's priestly family served in the temple during the twelfth month, see , his name means "robust." In , there is the similar name Chelem, which means "dream." Tobia (Hebr. Tovijaho) means "God's goodness," see Ezra 2:60; Neh. 7:62. Jedaja's family served in the temple during the second month, see ; . His name means "God knows." The Greek translation Septuagint explains the meaning of the names and emphasizes the symbolic meaning of their names: stability, God's goodness, and God knows.]
