Padon
A personal name, Padon, identified as one of the Nethinim—a temple servant group—in post-exilic Jerusalem. The lexical meaning derives from a root meaning 'ransom' or 'redemption,' though in attestations it functions as a proper name rather than a common noun. It appears solely as the name of an individual listed among those returning to Jerusalem after the exile.
