Old Testament

Lebanah or Lebana, whose descendants were among the temple servants who returned from the Babylonian exile.

Lebanah (also spelled Lebana) was the ancestor of a family of temple servants (Nethinim) who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel after the Babylonian exile, with their descendants listed among those who came back (Ezra 2:45; Nehemiah 7:48). The Nethinim served in menial capacities supporting the Levitical priesthood in the Second Temple. Lebanah is known only as the eponymous ancestor of this returning family.
