Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Chashum, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The name Chashum appears in the context of post-exilic Israel, specifically in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. It is associated with individuals who returned from the Babylonian exile and participated in the rebuilding of Jerusalem and its community.

Context: • Chashum is mentioned in the genealogical and census records of the returning exiles. In the book of Ezra, Chashum is listed among the heads of families who returned with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:19). This indicates that Chashum was a leader or patriarch of a family group that was part of the first wave of returnees from Babylonian captivity.
• In the book of Nehemiah, Chashum is again mentioned in a similar context. Nehemiah 7:22 repeats the census list, confirming the presence of Chashum's family among the returnees. This repetition underscores the importance of these records in establishing the continuity and legitimacy of the Jewish community in Jerusalem.
• Additionally, in Nehemiah 10:18, a descendant of Chashum is recorded as one of the signatories of the covenant to follow the Law of God, which was renewed under Nehemiah's leadership. This act of covenant renewal was a significant moment in the re-establishment of Jewish religious and social life after the exile.
• The name Chashum, therefore, represents not only a historical figure but also a family lineage that played a role in the restoration of Israel's religious and communal identity during the post-exilic period.
