It is noted as a location where Ezra sought Levites and temple servants to accompany him to Jerusalem during the return from the Babylonian exile.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Kasiphya is referenced in the context of the Jewish return from Babylonian captivity, a significant event in Jewish history. This period marked the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land after 70 years of exile. The gathering of Levites and temple servants was crucial for re-establishing proper worship and religious practices in Jerusalem. The exact location of Kasiphya is not known, but it is believed to have been in the region of Babylon, where many Jews had settled during the exile.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/hebrew/3700.htm">kasaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place in Bab.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Casiphia (2).<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">כָּסִפְיָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Babylonia, site un-known</b></font>: — <font class="hebrew2">הַמָּקוֺם</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּכ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/8-17.htm">Ezra 8:17</a> (twice in verse) <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> B <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ἐν ἀργυρίῳ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ἐν Μασφεν</font> Esdr <em>a</em>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">τῶν γαζοφυλακίων, γαζοφύλαξιν</font> Esdr <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">β</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">כֶּסֶת</font> see below II. <font class="hebrew2">כסה</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Casiphia <p>Perhaps from <a href="/hebrew/3701.htm">keceph</a>;
