One or more priests who returned from the Babylonian captivity (Neh. 12:4); called Ginnethon in Nehemiah 10: 6; 12: 16.
Meta. A strong assurance of divine protection and that God the Father is caretaker, the power by which one is enabled to overcome that in one which falls short of perfection.

We are the garden of God: "My Father is the husbandman," Jesus said.)
