Usage: The name Parosh appears in the context of the genealogies and lists of returnees from the Babylonian exile. It is used to identify a family group that returned to Jerusalem and Judah. Context: Parosh is a family name mentioned in the post-exilic period of Israel's history. The descendants of Parosh were among those who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. This family is listed in several genealogical records, indicating their involvement in the restoration of Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple. - Ezra 2:3 (BSB): "the descendants of Parosh, 2,172;" - Nehemiah 7:8 (BSB): "the descendants of Parosh, 2,172;" - Ezra 8:3 (BSB): "of the descendants of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were registered 150 men;" - Nehemiah 10:14 (BSB): "The leaders of the people: Parosh, Pahath-moab, Elam, Zattu, Bani," The family of Parosh is noted for its significant number of returnees, totaling 2,172 according to both Ezra and Nehemiah. This indicates that Parosh was a prominent family within the Jewish community. Members of this family were also involved in the covenant renewal under Nehemiah, as seen in Nehemiah 10:14, where Parosh is listed among the leaders who sealed the covenant. The name Parosh, meaning "flea" or "to flee," may reflect a characteristic or historical event associated with the family. The Parosh family played a vital role in the re-establishment of the Jewish community in their ancestral homeland after the exile.
