Their origins are somewhat obscure, but they are believed to have been non-Israelites who were integrated into the religious life of Israel, possibly as captives or converts. The Nephisim, as part of the Nethinim, played a role in the restoration of the temple and the re-establishment of worship practices after the return from Babylonian captivity.<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 family of returned exiles<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Nephisim (1), Nephushesim (1).<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Nephusim <p>Plural from an unused root meaning to scatter; expansions; Nephisim, a Temple-servant -- Nephusim (from the margin). <div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/hebrew/lafachat_5301.htm">lā·p̄a·ḥaṯ- — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/nafechah_5301.htm">nā·p̄ə·ḥāh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/nafuach_5301.htm">nā·p̄ū·aḥ — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/nofeach_5301.htm">nō·p̄ê·aḥ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/nuppach_5301.htm">nup·pāḥ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/ufechi_5301.htm">ū·p̄ə·ḥî — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vaiyippach_5301.htm">way·yip·paḥ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vehippachtem_5301.htm">wə·hip·paḥ·tem — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/venafachti_5301.htm">wə·nā·p̄aḥ·tî — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/nofach_5302.htm">nō·p̄aḥ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/nafish_5305.htm">nā·p̄îš — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/venafish_5305.htm">wə·nā·p̄îš — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/benofech_5306.htm">bə·nō·p̄eḵ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/nofech_5306.htm">nō·p̄eḵ — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/al_5307.htm">‘al- — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/appil_5307.htm">’ap·pîl — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/binfol_5307.htm">bin·p̄ōl — 6 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/eppelah_5307.htm">’ep·pə·lāh- — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/eppol_5307.htm">’ep·pōl — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/eppolah_5307.htm">’ep·pō·lāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/5303.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5303"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5303" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5305.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5305"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5305" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
