Sounds Like: NAH-thay-neem
Translations: Nethinim, the Nethinim
From the root: ΝΑΘΕΙΝΕΙΜ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to the Nethinim, a class of temple servants in ancient Israel who were not of Levitical descent. They were responsible for various menial tasks in the temple service, such as cutting wood and drawing water. The apostrophe at the end (coronis) indicates an elision, likely of the final sigma (ς) or nu (ν) before a following vowel, or it could be a keraia indicating a numeral, though in this context, it's almost certainly an elision of the plural ending.
