ZATTU

(Zatʹtu).

Forefather of a large family that returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel in 537 B.C.E. (Ezra 2:1, 2, 8; Neh. 7:13) When Ezra came to Jerusalem some of their descendants dismissed the foreign wives they had taken. (Ezra 10:10, 11, 27, 44) Shortly thereafter, a representative of this family, or someone else named Zattu, sealed the “trustworthy arrangement.”—Neh. 9:38; 10:1, 14.
