Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Salmai, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Salmai is used in the context of a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in genealogical records and lists of returnees from the Babylonian exile. Context: Salmai is mentioned in the context of the post-exilic period, specifically in the genealogical records of those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah from the Babylonian captivity. In the book of Nehemiah, Salmai is listed among the descendants of the temple servants, known as the Nethinim, who returned with Zerubbabel. The Nethinim were a group assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. The mention of Salmai highlights the restoration of the temple services and the re-establishment of religious practices in Jerusalem after the exile. The reference to Salmai can be found in Nehemiah 7:48: "The descendants of Lebanah, the descendants of Hagabah, the descendants of Salmai."
