Neziah

/neh-ZYE-uh/

Summary

Neziah was the ancestor of a family of Nethinim (temple servants) who returned from the Babylonian exile.

☩Identity

The sons of Neziah were among the Nethinim who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel. Their family served in the humble tasks associated with the temple, continuing a tradition of service that may have begun with the Gibeonites assigned by Joshua to be 'hewers of wood and drawers of water.'
