Context: Sotai is mentioned in the post-exilic period, specifically in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. The Nethinim, to which Sotai belonged, were a group of temple servants assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. They were likely descendants of the Gibeonites, who were assigned to this role during the time of Joshua. The mention of Sotai occurs in the context of the return from Babylonian captivity, highlighting the restoration of religious practices and the reestablishment of the temple service in Jerusalem. In Ezra 2:55 and Nehemiah 7:57, Sotai is listed among the families of the Nethinim who returned with Zerubbabel. This inclusion underscores the importance of the Nethinim in the post-exilic community and their role in the religious life of Israel.
