נְתִינִים: n.m.pl. Nethînîm [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1504/5411/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.m.pl. Nethînîm (proposes those given to the service of the sanctuary, as Levites are called נְתוּנִים Nu 3:9, 8:16, 19);—only 1 Ch 9:2 (where disting. from priests and Levites) + 16 times Ezr Ne (often disting. from priests, Levites and porters; Ezr 8:17 Kt has הנתונים, Qr הַנְּתִינִים), viz.: Ezr 2:43, 58, 70 = Ne 7:46, 60, 72 (so Baer, Ginsb; van d. H. v 73), Ezr 7:7; 8:17, 20 (appointment ascribed to David, cf. 1 Ch 9:2), v 20 Ne 10:29; 11:3; living on the Ophel 3:26; 11:21, with their own overseers v 21, having a house known (in part) by their name 3:31.—On נ׳ v. further BauPriesterthum 100, 142 f.

Why these entries: BDB: another headword, part of speech agrees, 13 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (4 candidates); OSHB: same consonants, part of speech differs, 0 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (4 candidates)
