Old Testament
Shashai
A descendant of Bani who was among those listed for taking foreign wives during the post-exilic period.
Shashai is mentioned in Ezra 10:40 as one of the men who had married foreign women following the return from the Babylonian exile. His inclusion in this list serves as part of the historical record regarding the purification of the community under Ezra's leadership. He is not mentioned elsewhere in the biblical text.
