Aziza

Aziza appears in Ezra 10:27 among the descendants of Zattu. Ezra 10:18-44 lists men who had married foreign women; the passage gives no further biography of Aziza.

Family and biblical occurrence

The biblical text does not explain the name’s meaning or origin. A proposed connection to the Hebrew root for “strength” should not be stated as fact without adequate linguistic evidence. In Ezra 10:27, Aziza is simply listed under the descendants of Zattu.

The setting in Ezra

Ezra 10 recounts the community’s response after Ezra learned that some had married women from surrounding peoples (Ezra 9:1-2; 10:1-4). The list names Aziza but does not describe individual actions or provide details beyond the family association.
