Wer waren die Netinîm?

Abstract

In view of the scarcity of sources on the class of the Temple servants (Netinîm), it is advisable to look at Mesopotamian and Greek sources, which offer analogies by much richer information. For the question of conceivable analogies to the scattered information in Ezr/Neh, it must also be considered whether the Jerusalem Temple owned land and who carried out the necessary work.
