Read It With
- Nehemiah 7:46–7:56
Read Nehemiah 7:46–7:56 together. This verse continues temple-servant names with Gazzam, Uzza, and Phaseah. Read Nehemiah 7:46–7:56 as one complete scene: The register names thirty-plus families within the Nethinim or temple-servant community.
Why It Needs Context
This line performs one particular step inside Nehemiah 7:46–7:56; read it with the unit's movement. The origin, legal status, and duties of the Nethinim are uncertain; the list supplies names but not consent or living conditions. Specifically, this verse continues temple-servant names with Gazzam, Uzza, and Phaseah.
