About Mahseiah
Mahseiah is mentioned as the grandfather of Baruch, who served as the scribe and assistant to the prophet Jeremiah. In one instance, Baruch was tasked with writing down Jeremiah's words on a scroll and reading them in the temple (Jer.32.12). Later, Baruch accompanied Seraiah, the quartermaster, on a journey to Babylon, carrying a message from Jeremiah (Jer.51.59).
