The meaning of Barachiah in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
bar-a-ki'-a (Barachias; the King James Version Barachias; Matthew 23:35): Father of Zachariah who was murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. It is possible that reference is made to Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada (II Chronicles 24:20 ff.), whom Matthew by mistake calls "Z., the son of Barachiah." Luke 11:51 omits the name of the father of Z. (compare Zahn's Kommentar, 649, note).
