Ban (2)

Ban (τοῦ Βάν v. r. Βαενάν; Vulg. Tubal), given as the name of one of the priestly families that had lost their pedigree after the exile in a very corrupt passage (1 Esdras 5:37); it doubtless stands for TOBIAH SEE TOBIAH (q.v.), i.e. בּנֵיאּטֹבֻתָה, in the parallel lists of Ezra (Ezr 2:60) and Nehemiah (Ne 7:62).
