NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originan Aramaism from zeban Definition "bought," an Isr. NASB Translation Zebina (1). Brown-Driver-Briggs זְבִינָא proper name, masculine (bought; Aramaic, from √ זְבַן, buy, compare Biblical Aramaic Daniel 2:8) — name of one who had taken a strange wife Ezra 10:43. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root זָבַן (zāban), meaning "to buy" or "to purchase."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Zebina, as it is a specific proper noun found in the Old Testament without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the concept of "buying" or "purchasing" can be related to Greek words such as ἀγοράζω (agorazō • Strong's Greek 59), which means "to buy" or "to redeem." Usage: The name Zebina appears in the context of post-exilic Israel, specifically in the genealogical records of those who returned from the Babylonian exile. Context: Zebina is mentioned in the book of Ezra as one of the descendants of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem and Judah. In Ezra 10:43, Zebina is listed among the sons of Nebo who had married foreign women, an action contrary to the Mosaic Law, which led to a communal decision to put away these wives to maintain the purity of the Israelite community. This event is part of a larger narrative where Ezra, a scribe and leader, calls the people to repentance and adherence to the Law after their return from exile. The mention of Zebina highlights the challenges faced by the returning exiles in re-establishing their identity and religious practices in the land of their ancestors.
