Nekoda

Meaning: painted; inconstant · Female · 2 cross references

This Nekoda entry refers to a Nethinim family or servant-house name in the returnee lists, not to the separate family listed among those with uncertain genealogy. It belongs to the service communities that support restored temple life. First appears in Ezra 2:48.1

AI summary: This Nekoda matters because the cross references place the name among the temple-servant groups whose practical labor undergirds worship in the rebuilt community. Its distinction from the other Nekoda entry is important because the same name appears in different post-exilic settings. Taken together, the material presents this Nekoda as a servant-house contributing to the working life of restoration.1
