Hanan

Meaning: full of grace · Male · 2 cross references

This Hanan entry refers to a Nethinim or temple-servant house in the returnee lists, not to the Benjaminite descendant or the Levite in Nehemiah. It belongs to the service infrastructure of restored worship. First appears in Ezra 2:46.1

AI summary: This Hanan matters because the cross references place the name among the temple-servant families who returned after exile. Though brief, the entry shows that restoration depended on many practical service households beyond priests and governors. Taken together, the material presents this Hanan as a servant-house contributing to the daily functioning of post-exilic worship.1
