Old Testament
Aziza
A descendant of Zattu who repented by putting away his foreign wife during the reforms of Ezra.
Aziza is listed in Ezra 10:27 as one of the men of Israel who had taken foreign wives in violation of the law. His inclusion in this list signifies his participation in the post-exilic covenant renewal and the purification of the community. He represents the broader group of Israelites who submitted to Ezra's call for repentance and separation from pagan influences.
