Strong's Lexicon nethinim: Nethinim Original Word: נָתִין Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נָתַן (nathan), meaning "to give" or "to set apart." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Nethinim" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to the temple service in the Old Testament context. Usage: The term "Nethinim" refers to a group of temple servants in ancient Israel who were assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. The name itself means "given ones," indicating their dedicated role in the religious practices of the Israelites. They were responsible for various menial tasks necessary for the maintenance and operation of the temple. Cultural and Historical Background: The Nethinim were likely non-Israelites who were integrated into the community of Israel to serve in the temple. Their origins are somewhat obscure, but they are believed to have been descendants of the Gibeonites, who were assigned to serve the Israelites after deceiving Joshua into making a peace treaty with them (Joshua 9). Over time, they became a distinct group within the temple hierarchy, recognized for their service. During the return from the Babylonian exile, the Nethinim were among those who returned to Jerusalem to help rebuild the temple (Ezra 2:43-58; Nehemiah 7:46-60).
