Bible Person

Zabad

Meaning: dowry; endowed · Male · 1 cross reference

This Zabad entry refers to one of the men named in Ezra 10:33, not to David's warrior or the other post-exilic namesakes elsewhere. He belongs to the restored community's difficult process of covenant correction after exile. First appears in Ezra 10:33.1

AI summary: This Zabad matters because his single cross reference places him among those publicly identified in Ezra's response to unlawful marriages. The entry shows how specific and personal covenant renewal became in the restored community. Taken together, the material presents this Zabad as one of the individuals included in post-exilic reform.1
