Bible Person

Akkub

Meaning: foot-print; supplanting; crookedness; lewdness · Male · 1 cross reference

This Akkub entry refers to a Nethinim family or servant-house name in the returnee lists, not to the Levite of Nehemiah 8 or the Davidic descendant. It belongs to the service communities that help sustain restored worship after exile. First appears in Ezra 2:45.1

AI summary: This Akkub matters because its single cross reference places the name among the temple-servant groups whose practical labor helped make restored worship possible. The distinction from the Levitical Akkub is important because the same name appears in different functional settings. Taken together, the material presents this Akkub as a servant-house within the working structure of post-exilic restoration.1
