Hattush חַטּוּשׁ

Hattush was a priest who lived during the time of Nehemiah. He is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as one of the priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah. This covenant was a solemn agreement made by the people of Israel to follow God's laws and commandments. Hattush is also listed among the priests who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel, indicating that he was among the first group of exiles to return from Babylon. As a priest, Hattush would have had important responsibilities in the religious life of the community. (Neh.10.4; 12.2).
