Strong's Lexicon Nephushesim: Nephushesim Original Word: נְפוּשְׁסִים Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: Nphuwshciym Pronunciation: neh-foo-sheh-SEEM Phonetic Spelling: (nef-oo-shes-eem') Definition: Nephushesim Meaning: Nephushesim is a proper noun referring to a family or group of people mentioned in the post-exilic period of Israel's history. Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to breathe or to blow. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Nephushesim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to a particular historical and genealogical context within the Old Testament. Usage: The term Nephushesim is used in the context of genealogical records, specifically in the lists of those who returned from the Babylonian exile. Context: Nephushesim is mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile, as recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. This group is listed among the Nethinim, a class of temple servants who were assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. The Nethinim were likely descendants of the Gibeonites, who were assigned to temple service during the time of Joshua. In the book of Ezra 2:50, the name appears as "Nephusim," while in Nehemiah 7:52, it is rendered as "Nephushesim." This variation in spelling is not uncommon in ancient texts and may reflect differences in dialect or transcription over time. The Nephushesim, like other Nethinim, played a crucial role in the restoration of temple worship and the re-establishment of religious practices following the return from exile.
