Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to weigh. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name סַלּוּ (Sallu, Sallai), as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogical records. Usage: The name Sallu appears in the context of genealogies and lists of returnees from the Babylonian exile. It is used to identify individuals within the tribe of Benjamin and the Levitical families. Context: • Sallu (Sallai) is a name mentioned in the genealogical records of the post-exilic community. The name appears in several contexts, primarily associated with the tribe of Benjamin and the Levites. • In Nehemiah 11:7, Sallu is listed as a Benjamite, one of the descendants of Benjamin who resettled in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile: "From the descendants of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah." • In Nehemiah 12:7, Sallu is mentioned among the priests who returned with Zerubbabel and Jeshua: "Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, and Jedaiah. These were the leaders of the priests and their associates in the days of Jeshua." • The name also appears in 1 Chronicles 9:7, where Sallu is again identified as a Benjamite: "From the Benjamites: Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah." • The recurrence of the name in these genealogical records highlights the importance of family lineage and tribal affiliation in the post-exilic community, reflecting the restoration of Israel's identity and religious practices after the exile.
