(hat' tuhssh) Personal name of uncertain meaning. 1. Man in David's royal line after the return from Exile (1 Chronicles 3:22 ). He returned from Babylonian Exile with Ezra about 458 B.C. (Ezra 8:2 ). His high place in the list may indicate that Ezra and his followers still placed hope in a Davidic monarch. 2. A priest who signed Nehemiah's covenant to obey God (Nehemiah 10:4 ). It is not impossible that this was the same as 1. above. 3. Priest who returned from Babylonian Exile with Zerubbabel about 537 B.C. (Nehemiah 12:2 ). 4 . Man who helped Nehemiah repair the Jerusalem walls (Nehemiah 3:10 ).
