Haggai
Neviim · c. 1000-420 BCE

חַגַּי הוא נביא תנ"כי מימי שיבת ציון. ספרו בן שני הפרקים הוא העשירי בתרי עשר, וממוקם בין ספר צפניה לבין ספר זכריה. עיקרו עידוד שבי הגולה לבנות את בית המקדש השני.

Haggai or Aggeus was a Hebrew prophet active during the building of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, one of the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible, and the author or subject of the Book of Haggai. He is known for his prophecy in 520 BCE, commanding the Jews to rebuild the Temple. He was the first of three post-exilic prophets from the Neo-Babylonian Exile of the House of Judah, who belonged to the period of Jewish history which began after the return from captivity in Babylon. His name means "my holidays".
