This name designates the leader of a temple servant family in the post-exilic community, appearing in parallel census lists with slight spelling variation (Chasufa in Ezra 2:43, Chasupha in Nehemiah 7:46). The Nethinim formed a distinct class providing menial labor for temple operations, and their genealogical registration in return lists indicates their recognized status in restored Judean society. The name's meaning remains uncertain, though it may relate to being stripped or made bare. The orthographic variation between the two passages reflects common scribal practices.
