Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to compress or to twist.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Athlai, as it is a unique proper noun found in the Old Testament without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. Usage: The name Athlai appears once in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of the post-exilic community. Context: Athlai is a biblical figure mentioned in the book of Ezra. He is listed among the descendants of Bani who had married foreign women and were required to put them away as part of the reforms led by Ezra. This event is part of a larger narrative where the Israelites, having returned from Babylonian exile, sought to reestablish their covenantal identity by adhering strictly to the Mosaic Law, which included prohibitions against intermarriage with foreign nations. The mention of Athlai in this context underscores the communal effort to restore religious purity and obedience to the law. The specific verse where Athlai is mentioned is Ezra 10:28: "And of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, Sheal, and Athlai."
