Definition
  1. Proper noun:
    • A book of the Old Testament: "Aggeus" is the name used in some versions (notably the Douay-Rheims Bible) for the Book of Haggai, a short prophetic book concerned with the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.
    • A Hebrew prophet: "Aggeus" is the name used in some versions for the prophet Haggai, a minor prophet who delivered the messages contained in the biblical book.
Usage Notes
