Nehemiah 7:52

The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephishesim,

The roll of returned families belongs to the Bible's narrative of Babylonian life in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah. It forms part of that account of the people living under Babylonian conditions during their leadership. The truth of that narrative is confirmed by discoveries made in ancient lands adjoining Israel that had dealings with Israel.
