Archimandrite Nikifor’s Biblical Encyclopedia

—a family or personal name appearing in several postexilic settings: a family of returnees (Ezra 2:19; Neh. 7:22), men who had married foreign women (Ezra 10:33), a man standing beside Ezra (Neh. 8:4), and a covenant signatory (Neh. 10:18). The source treats these references as one man, but the texts do not require that conclusion.
