Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: The origin of the name Keros is uncertain, but it is a proper noun used in the context of the Hebrew Bible.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Keros, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

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. The mention of Keros can be found in the following passages:

Ezra 2:44: "The descendants of Keros, 743."
Nehemiah 7:47: "The descendants of Keros, 743."

These passages highlight the continuity and preservation of the temple service roles even after the significant disruption of the exile. The specific number of descendants indicates the size of the family group that returned, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the temple's function and the community's religious practices.
