The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) does not state where Haggai was born. It seems that he was born in Judah (Judea) before the Babylonians exiled the Jews. He was among the Jews who returned to Judea in the time of Zerubavel and Ezra.
Scarcely anything is known of his personal history including date of birth.
Additional Comments:
He had a very short ministry, spanning about 4 months in the year 520 B.C..
during the 6th centuary :)
Haggai Hoberman was born in 1959.
Haggai Erlich was born on 1942-03-29.
Haggai's father was Pedaiah.
The Book of Haggai is written by the biblical prophet Haggai. He was tasked with encouraging the Jewish people to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem after their return from exile in Babylon.
Some say the object of the Book of Haggai seems to be to immortalise Haggai by giving him credit for commencement of the Temple, suggesting that the book was written much later when there were no longer any witnesses to refute the claim. On that view, Haggai could not have been the real author. We simply do not know.
It is believed that Haggai was a Jew, born in Babylon, who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel and the Jews after the exile, in 537 B.C.E., but the Scriptures do not name the prophet's parents or tribe. He was the first postexilic Hebrew prophet in Judah and Jerusalem during the reign of King Darius Hystaspis (Haggai 1:1; Haggai 2:1,10+20; Ezra 5:1+2)and was joined shortly thereafter by Zechariah. (Haggai 1:1; Zechariah 1:1). Haggai and Zechariah encouraged the Jewish exiles to rebuild the Temple (Ezra 3:10-13; 4:1-24; Haggai 1:4)(Haggai 1:1; 2:1,10+20) until it was completed in 515 B.C.E.(Ezra 5:1, 2; 6:14, 15).
Haggai was a prophet in the Bible, not much is known about his occupation outside of his prophetic ministry.
Haggai. Referrence verse is Haggai - 1:13
The book that comes before Haggai in the old testament is Zephaniah.
Haggai was known as one of the minor prophets and served as such during the reign of Darius. Most of the prophecies of Haggai are concerned mainly with rebuilding the temples after the Babylonian Captivity.
The exact age at which Haggai died is not explicitly mentioned in historical or biblical records.
The Book of Haggai tells the Jews that because they weren't being energetic enough in building the Second Temple, misfortunes had started coming upon the land. Haggai urges them to build the Temple with alacrity and promises God's blessing.
