Hagabah
A family of Nethinim who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel.
Hagabah refers to a clan of temple servants, or Nethinim, listed among the exiles who returned to Jerusalem from Babylon. Their inclusion in the genealogies of Ezra 2 and Nehemiah 7 serves to document the restoration of the temple service and the preservation of the covenant community. They represent the faithful remnant tasked with assisting the Levites in the work of the house of God.
