Kelaiah, also known as Kelita, was a Levite who had taken a foreign wife during the exile and was among those who pledged to put her away in response to Ezra's reform (Ezra 10:23). The dual name—Kelaiah and Kelita—likely represents a nickname or alternate form of his name. He is also identified as one of the Levites who helped Ezra explain the Law to the people during the great assembly described in Nehemiah 8:7, indicating a prominent teaching role in the post-exilic community.
