Smith's Bible Dictionary

Mishael

(who is what God is').

One of the sons of Uzziel, the uncle of Aaron and Moses. (Exodus 6:22) when Nadab and Abihu were struck dead for offering strange fire, Mishael and his brother Elzaphan, at the command of Moses, removed their bodies from the sanctuary, and buried them without the camp, their loose-fitting tunics serving for winding-sheets. (Leviticus 10:4,5)
One of those who stood at Ezra's left hand when he read the law to the people. (Nehemiah 8:4) [MESHACH]

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Who is like God!

(1.) A Levite; the eldest of the three sons of Uzziel (Exodus 6:22).

(2.) One of the three Hebrew youths who were trained with Daniel in Babylon (Dan. 1:11, 19), and promoted to the rank of Magi. He and his companions were afterwards cast into the burning fiery furnace for refusing to worship the idol the king had set up, from which they were miraculously delivered (3:13-30). His Chaldean name was Meshach (q.v.).
