The name itself does not have a clear meaning in Hebrew, as it is likely of foreign origin, possibly Persian or Babylonian.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Bigvai is mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile, a significant event in Jewish history. This period marked the end of the Babylonian captivity, which lasted approximately 70 years, and the beginning of the restoration of Jerusalem and the Temple. The returnees were led by figures like Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, who played crucial roles in re-establishing the Jewish community and religious practices in Jerusalem.<div class="vheading2">NAS
