Strong's Lexicon Nephushesim: Nephushesim Original Word: נְפוּשְׁסִים Word Origin: Derived from the root נָפַשׁ (naphash), meaning "to breathe" or "to be refreshed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Nephushesim, as it is a specific Hebrew family name. However, genealogical records in the New Testament, such as those found in the Gospels, serve a similar purpose in tracing lineage and heritage. Usage: Nephushesim is a proper noun used to refer to a family or group of people mentioned in the genealogical records of the Bible. The name itself may imply a sense of being refreshed or renewed, possibly indicating a characteristic or historical significance of the family. Cultural and Historical Background: The Nephushesim are listed among the descendants of Solomon's servants who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. This group is part of the larger narrative of the Jewish return to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the temple, which was a significant event in Jewish history. The mention of such families highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in post-exilic Jewish society, as well as the fulfillment of God's promises to restore His people.
