Mispereth, a personal name, variant form of Mispar, a man who returned from exile
This is the form of the name found in Nehemiah 7:7, corresponding to Mispar in Ezra 2:2. Both refer to the same individual who returned from Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. The variation between Mispar and Mispereth illustrates how names could be transmitted in slightly different forms across parallel biblical accounts. The Greek versions show various transliteration attempts, reflecting the challenges of rendering Hebrew names into Greek script.
