Usage: The term "Chagaba'" refers to a family or group of temple servants mentioned in the post-exilic period of Israel's history. It is a proper noun used to identify a specific family that returned from the Babylonian exile. Cultural and Historical Background: The name "Chagaba'" appears in the context of the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel and later Ezra.
