Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Padon, as it is a specific proper noun unique to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: The name Padon appears in the context of genealogical records, specifically in the post-exilic period. It is associated with a family or group that returned from the Babylonian exile.

Context: Padon is mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile. The name appears in the genealogical lists of those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah. In the book of Ezra, Padon is listed among the Nethinim, a group of temple servants who were assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. The Nethinim were considered a lower class of temple workers, often thought to be descendants of the Gibeonites who were assigned to this role by Joshua (Joshua 9:27).
Biblical Reference: The name Padon is found in Ezra 2:44: "The Nethinim: the descendants of Ziha, the descendants of Hasupha, the descendants of Tabbaoth, the descendants of Keros, the descendants of Siaha, the descendants of Padon," (BSB). This passage is part of a larger list detailing the families and groups that returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel.
• The mention of Padon in the genealogical records highlights the importance of maintaining the continuity of temple service and the restoration of religious practices after the exile. The inclusion of the Nethinim in these records underscores their role in the religious community despite their lower status.
