Zattu; head of a family among the returned exiles from Babylon.
A proper name identifying the head of a clan that returned from Babylonian exile. Zattu appears in the census lists of Ezra 2:8 and its parallel Nehemiah 7:13, numbering his descendants among the restored community. Members of his family are also listed among those who had married foreign wives (Ezra 10:27), and the name appears on the sealed covenant document in Nehemiah 10:14. French and German translations retain the untransliterated Hebrew form, while English and Spanish render it as 'Zattu' and 'Zatu' respectively.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper masculine name designating the ancestor of a family group in the post-exilic Jewish community. His descendants appear in the return census (Ezra 2:8; Neh 7:13), among those who put away foreign wives (Ezra 10:27), and as signatories of the covenant renewal (Neh 10:14). The name functions primarily as a clan identifier in these administrative lists. English gives 'Zattu,' Spanish 'Zatu,' while French and German retain the Hebrew script, reflecting the name's relative obscurity outside specialist biblical reference. 4×
