Brown-Driver-Briggs נְקוֺדָא proper name, masculine head of a family of Nethinim Ezra 2:48,60 = Nehemiah 7:50,62, ᵐ5 Νεκωθα, Νεχωδα. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָקַד (naqad), meaning "to mark" or "to designate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name נְקוֹדָא (Nekoda), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of temple servants or assistants can be related to Greek terms used in the Septuagint and New Testament for similar roles, such as διάκονος (diakonos), meaning "servant" or "minister." Usage: The name Nekoda appears in the context of post-exilic lists of returnees to Jerusalem. It is associated with a family or group of temple servants who returned from the Babylonian exile. Context: Nekoda is mentioned in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, specifically in the genealogical records of those who returned to Jerusalem following the Babylonian exile. In Ezra 2:48 and Nehemiah 7:50, the descendants of Nekoda are listed among the Nethinim, a group of temple servants who were assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. The Nethinim were considered a lower class of temple workers, and their exact origins are somewhat obscure, but they played a crucial role in the functioning of the temple. The mention of Nekoda in these lists highlights the importance of maintaining genealogical records for the purpose of re-establishing religious and social order in post-exilic Judah. The name itself, derived from a root meaning "to mark," may suggest a designation or distinction of this family line within the community of returnees.
