Sophereth (or Hassophereth) was the ancestor of a family of Solomon's servants who were among the exiles that returned to Jerusalem from Babylon.
Sophereth was the ancestor of a family of Solomon's servants who returned from Babylonian exile, listed in the post-exilic registers of Ezra 2:55 and Nehemiah 7:57. The name, possibly meaning 'scribe,' may indicate a family that had served in a scribal capacity in Solomon's royal administration.
