The Oniads are a family whose members held the office of High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem during the Hellenistic period, from the 4th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE. The family traces its lineage to the high priest Yaddua ben Yohanan, who officiated under Alexander the Great. He is the last high priest mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The Oniads were the last legitimate high priests since they were of Zadokite lineage, that is, descendants of Zadok, high priest in the time of King Solomon.
