(1) A non-priestly family that returned from captivity with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:32; Nehemiah 7:35); mentioned among those who married foreign wives (Ezra 10:31); also mentioned among those who renewed the covenant (Nehemiah 10:27).
(2) A priestly family returning with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:39; Nehemiah 7:42; Nehemiah 12:3, Nehemiah 12:15 (see REHUM)); members of this family covenanted to put away their foreign wives (Ezra 10:21; Nehemiah 10:5).
