Uzza:
(strength).
(1.) A Benjamite of the sons of Ehud (1 Chronicles 8:7). (B.C. 1445)
(2.) Elsewhere called UZZA, OR UZZAH (1 Chronicles 13:7; 13:9-11). SEE [UZZA, OR UZZAH].
(3.) The children of Uzza were a family of Nethinim who returned with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:49; Nehemiah 7:51). (B.C. before 536)
(4.) Properly Uzzah. As the text now stands, Uzzah is a descendant of Merari (1 Chronicles 6:29) but there appears to be a gap in the verse. Perhaps he is the same as ZINA or ZIZAH the son of Shimei (1 Chronicles 23:10-11) for these names evidently denote the same person, and, in Hebrew character, are not unlike Uzzah. SEE [ZINA], [ZIZAH].
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
