Nekoda; head of a family of Nethinim (temple servants) who returned from Babylonian exile
Nekoda appears as the name of a leader among the Nethinim, the temple servants who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The name occurs in parallel lists in Ezra 2:48, 60 and Nehemiah 7:50, 62, indicating both a family group and possibly individuals bearing this name. The Greek versions render it as Νεκωθα or Νεχωδα.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal and family name among the returning exiles, specifically associated with the Nethinim class. The name appears in duplicate census lists (Ezra 2//Nehemiah 7), a common feature of post-exilic genealogical records. Translations are consistent across languages (Nekoda, Necoda, Necodá), though some bracket the Hebrew [נקודא] to indicate it is a transliterated foreign or uncertain form. The repetition in both Ezra and Nehemiah confirms this family's role in the restoration community. 4×
