பற்றி · About

Bakbukiah was a Levite who served in various roles in Jerusalem after the return from Babylonian exile. In Neh.11.17, he is described as the second among his brothers and one who gave thanks in prayer. This suggests he had a leadership role in worship. In Neh.12.9, Bakbukiah is listed along with other Levites who had responsibilities over the thanksgiving choirs. Later, in Neh.12.25, he is mentioned as one of the gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates. These references indicate that Bakbukiah was a prominent Levite who held multiple positions related to temple service and worship in the post-exilic community.
