The meaning of Amashsai in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
a-mash'-si 'amashcay, probably a textual error for 'amashay; the ("s") implies a reading '-M-C-Y, based on a mistaken derivation from '-M-C. The original reading may have been 'ammishay; compare AMASAI): Amashsai is a priestly name in the post-exilic list of inhabitants of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 11:13; Maasai, I Chronicles 9:12); the reading in Chronicles is ma'asay, the King James Version "Maasiai," the Revised Version (British and American) "Maasai."
