Hakupha; family head of returning temple servants
Hakupha was the head of a family of temple servants (Nethinim) who returned from Babylonian exile. The name appears in parallel lists in Ezra 2:51 and Nehemiah 7:53. The etymology remains uncertain, though the name follows typical post-exilic patterns. These temple servant families played crucial roles in maintaining the second temple's operations.
