Gishpa

Gishpa was an overseer of the Nethinim—the dedicated temple servants—who dwelt on Ophel in Jerusalem after the return from Babylonian exile, mentioned in Nehemiah 11:21 alongside Ziha. The Nethinim occupied a distinct residential quarter on the hill of Ophel adjacent to the temple mount. Gishpa's supervisory role over this community illustrates the administrative structure by which Nehemiah organized the various guilds and orders of temple workers.
