Old Testament
Parosh
A family or clan whose descendants returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel.
Parosh represents a significant ancestral line among the Jewish exiles who returned to Jerusalem. The name appears in the genealogical records of Ezra and Nehemiah, noting that 2,172 members of this clan made the journey back to Judah. Their inclusion in these lists highlights the restoration of the covenant community and the preservation of tribal identity after the captivity.
