Who this is
Nephisesim, also spelled Nephushesim, names a family of Nethinim, temple servants assigned menial duties in worship, who returned from Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel (Nehemiah 7:52). The parallel list in Ezra 2:50 gives the family name as Nephusim, one of several small spelling variations among the Nethinim clans in these overlapping census lists.
