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

Usage: The name Gazzam appears in the context of the post-exilic period, specifically among the list of temple servants who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. It is mentioned in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.

Context: Gazzam is identified as one of the families of the Nethinim, a group of temple servants who were assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. The Nethinim were likely descendants of the Gibeonites, who were assigned to temple service by Joshua (Joshua 9:27). The name Gazzam appears in the post-exilic records of those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah from Babylonian captivity. In the book of Ezra 2:48, Gazzam is listed among the Nethinim who returned with Zerubbabel. Similarly, in Nehemiah 7:51, the name appears in the parallel list of returnees. The inclusion of Gazzam in these lists highlights the continuity of temple service and the restoration of religious practices following the exile. The Nethinim, including the family of Gazzam, played a crucial role in the reestablishment of worship in the Second Temple.
