	Benjamin Zephaniah
		Zephaniah’s not a lone figure in Britain’s poetic environment: Wendy Cope, Roger Mc Gough, Adrian Henri and Brian Patten, to mention but a few, have also done much to popularise the genre by making it accessible to people at large and by taking special care of new readers: children and adolescents.
		Zephaniah is definitely a poet to be seen and heard rather than one to be read.
		Though of medium height, Zephaniah fills an auditorium with his presence as soon as he comes in: dreadlocks down to his waist, a feline gait, gleaming eyes and a smile which can be all tenderness at one moment and all mischief at another.

	Zephaniah, Book of - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		The name "Zephaniah" (tsephanyah; Sophonias), which is borne by three other men mentioned in the Old Testament, means "Yah hides," or "Yah has hidden" or "treasured." "It suggests," says G. Smith, "the prophet's birth in the killing time of Manasseh" (2 Kings 21:16).
		An ancient tradition declares that Zephaniah was of the tribe of Simeon, which would make it impossible for him to be of royal blood; but the origin and value of this tradition are uncertain.
		The principal objection to 2:1-3 is the presence in 2:3 of the expressions "meek of the earth," and "seek meekness." It is claimed that "meek" and "meekness" as religious terms are post-exilic.

	Book of Zephaniah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Three general possibilities are that a person, possibly named Zephaniah, prophesied the words of the book of Zephaniah; the general message of a Josianic prophet is conveyed through the book of Zephaniah; or the name could have been employed, either during the monarchic or post-monarchic period, as a ‘speaking voice’, possibly for rhetorical purposes.
		Zephaniah was probably the first prophet following the prophecies of Isaiah and the violent reign of Manasseh.
		Zephaniah also draws upon the emerging idea that Yahweh is quite different from the regional or tribal gods of the surrounding nations.

		Deuteronomy became the law of the land, and the covenant with the Lord was renewed.
