Usage: Chezir is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific individual. It is the name of a priestly family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile. The name is associated with the priestly division established by King David. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Chezir appears in the context of the post-exilic period when the Israelites returned to Jerusalem and Judah from Babylonian captivity. The priestly divisions were reestablished to restore the religious practices and temple services. The division of Chezir was one of the twenty-four priestly courses instituted by King David, as recorded in 1 Chronicles 24. These divisions were responsible for the temple service, ensuring that worship and sacrifices were conducted according to the Law of Moses.
