(hass ssoh' fih rehth) Personal name meaning, “the scribe” or “scribal office.” Ezra 2:55 indicates it was either a family name of persons returning from Babylonian Exile with Zerubbabel about 537 B.C. or a guild of scribes who returned. The parallel passage ( Nehemiah 7:57 ) omits h, the Hebrew article, from the name, possibly indicating a guild is indicated.
