Asnah

Male · 1 cross reference

Asnah is a Nethinim or servant-house name preserved in the returnee lists. It belongs to the service communities that help sustain restored worship after exile. First appears in Ezra 2:50.1

AI summary: Asnah matters because its single cross reference places the name among the temple-servant groups whose practical labor helped make post-exilic worship possible. These small notices preserve the breadth of participation in restoration beyond priests and governors alone. Taken together, the material presents Asnah as a servant-house within the working structure of the restored community.1
