   In Ezra 2:50, the masculine plural gentilicial form occurs in a sequence of “sons of” groups; the APB renders the clause “the sons of Nephisim.” In Nehemiah 7:52, the same plural gentilicial use appears among further “sons of” groups, where the APB again includes “the sons of Nephisim.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the group as “the sons of Nephisim” in both cited verses. This wording confirms the list context rather than isolating every contribution of the original form.
