Usage: The name Keros appears in the context of the lists of those who returned from the Babylonian exile to Jerusalem and Judah. It is specifically mentioned in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Context: Keros is identified as one of the families of the Nethinim, a group of temple servants who were assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. The Nethinim were originally non-Israelites who were dedicated to the service of the temple, and their role was to perform menial tasks to support the Levites. The family of Keros is listed among those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah with Zerubbabel after the Babylonian exile. This return is documented in the post-exilic period, a time when the Jewish community was re-establishing itself in the land of Israel and rebuilding the temple.
