About Lebanah

Lebanah, also known as Lebana, was an ancestor of a group of temple servants (Nethinim) who returned to Jerusalem from the Babylonian exile (Ezr.2.45; Neh.7.48). The temple servants were assigned to assist the Levites in the maintenance and service of the temple (Ezr.8.20). Lebanah's descendants were among the 392 Nethinim who returned with Zerubbabel (Ezr.2.43,45; Neh.7.46,48).
