Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Magbish, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The term "Magbish" appears in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile, specifically in the list of those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah.

Context: Magbish is mentioned in the book of Ezra as part of the genealogical record of those who returned from the Babylonian captivity. In Ezra 2:30, the descendants of Magbish are listed among the groups returning to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel. The passage reads: "the men of Magbish, 156" (BSB). This indicates that Magbish was either a location from which these individuals originated or a family or clan name. The exact identification of Magbish remains uncertain, as it is not mentioned elsewhere in the biblical text. The context suggests that it was a minor group, given the relatively small number of returnees associated with it. The mention of Magbish in the genealogical records underscores the comprehensive nature of the list, aiming to document all those who participated in the restoration of the Jewish community in their ancestral homeland.
