Zattu is the ancestral or house-name of a returnee family listed in Ezra and Nehemiah, with members later implicated in Ezra's reform concerning intermarriage. It belongs to the real family fabric of restoration, including its failures. First appears in Ezra 2:8.1
AI summary: Zattu matters because the cross references place this house in both the hopeful return from exile and the painful process of moral correction afterward. The family is therefore part of a restoration story that includes both rebuilding and repentance. Taken together, the material presents Zattu as a returnee house whose record reflects the mixed but reformable condition of the restored community.1
