Uzza

Male · 2 cross references

This Uzza entry refers to a returnee servant-house or family group in Ezra and Nehemiah, not to the man struck while touching the ark or the royal burial garden of the same name. It belongs to the post-exilic community remembered through named households. First appears in Ezra 2:49.1

AI summary: This Uzza matters because the cross references place the name among the returnee lists that preserve the social fabric of restoration. The distinction from better-known occurrences of the name is important, since here it functions as a household identifier rather than a dramatic narrative figure. Taken together, the material presents this Uzza as a named group within the restored community.1
