Old Testament
Lebanah
A family of temple servants who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel.
The descendants of Lebanah are listed among the Nethinim, or temple servants, who returned to Jerusalem from captivity in Babylon. Their inclusion in the census records of Ezra and Nehemiah highlights the restoration of temple service and the preservation of genealogical records among the returning exiles.
