Bible Person

Hattush

Meaning: forsaking sin · Male · 1 cross reference

This Hattush entry refers to the wall-builder in Nehemiah 3:10, not to the returnee in Ezra 8 or the Davidic descendant in 1 Chronicles 3. He belongs to the practical labor of restoring Jerusalem after exile. First appears in Neh 3:10.1

AI summary: This Hattush matters because his single cross reference places him directly in the hands-on work of rebuilding the city. The entry helps give the restoration narrative human scale by preserving the names of individual workers and their sections. Taken together, the material presents this Hattush as a participant in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
