Aziza, a descendant of Zattu, was one of the men who had married foreign women during the time of Ezra (Ezr.10.27).
Aziza was a descendant of Zattu who had married a foreign woman during the Babylonian exile period, an act addressed in Ezra's reform campaign. He is listed in Ezra 10:27 among those who agreed to send away their foreign wives in obedience to Ezra's call to covenant faithfulness. His brief mention illustrates the personal cost borne by ordinary Israelites as the post-exilic community sought to maintain its distinct identity under Ezra's leadership.
