The meaning of Niphis in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
ni'-fis (Neipheis, Codex Alexandrinus Phineis; the King James Version Nephis): Given in 1 Esdras 5:21 margin as = "Magbish" of Ezra 2:30, whose sons are the same in number (156) as those of Niphis, but it would seem rather to be the equivalent of Nebo in Ezra 2:29.
