It is used to denote a specific group of temple servants or Nethinim who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. The name is associated with those who were dedicated to assisting the Levites in the service of the temple.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Meunim were part of the Nethinim, a group of temple servants assigned to assist the Levites in the maintenance and operations of the temple. The Nethinim were likely descendants of the Gibeonites, who were assigned to serve the Israelites after deceiving Joshua (Joshua 9). During the Babylonian exile, many of these temple servants were taken captive, and upon the return to Jerusalem, they were among those who helped reestablish temple worship.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a people S.E. of the Dead Sea<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Meunim (2), Meunites (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מְעוּנִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a people</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Me`unim, Me`unites</b></font> (usually connected with <font class="hebrew2">מָעוֺן</font>, (see <font class="hebrew2">עון</font>), but dubious, compare Buhl<sup>Edom. 41 f.</sup>);
