Sounds Like: NAH-thay-neem
Translations: Nethinim
From the root: ΝΑΘΕΙΝΙΜ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: The word ΝΑΘΕΙΝΙΜ is a transliteration of the Hebrew word 'Nethinim'. It refers to a class of temple servants in ancient Israel, who were given to the Levites to assist in the work of the Tabernacle and later the Temple. They were often foreigners or descendants of conquered peoples who were assigned to perform menial tasks such as drawing water and cutting wood. The final apostrophe-like character (ʼ) is a keraia, indicating that the word is being used as a numeral, but in this context, it's likely a scribal mark or a transliteration convention rather than an actual numeral, as 'Nethinim' is a proper noun.
