The Nethinims: the children of Ziha
on Ezra 2:43-54
The Nethinims are temple servants first appointed under David and Solomon to assist the Levites, their name meaning the given ones, handed over to the sanctuary's lower labor. Thirty five family names run unbroken from verse 43 to 54, none of them numbered, the roll itself standing as their only record. Their place in this charter beside priest and Levite marks them full members of the restored community, whatever the rank of the work their fathers once did.
