Pahath-Moab — compound proper name ('governor of Moab') for a large post-exilic Judean clan in returnee lists
Pahath-Moab (פַּחַת מוֹאָב) is a compound proper name meaning 'governor of Moab,' designating a prominent post-exilic Judean clan or its ancestral head. The name likely preserves the memory of a pre-exilic official who once served as governor over Moab during Judah's period of Transjordanian influence. The Pahath-Moab clan was one of the largest groups to return from Babylon: 2,812 members in Zerubbabel's return (Ezra 2:6; Neh 7:11) and additional members under Ezra (Ezra 8:4). Some of its men were among those who had married foreign wives and agreed to send them away (Ezra 10:30). Hashub son of Pahath-Moab helped repair the Jerusalem wall and the Tower of the Ovens (Neh 3:11), and the clan sealed the covenant renewal (Neh 10:14).
