ze.tam is used as a personal name in genealogical and administrative notices.

The attested form functions as a proper personal name: it appears in a list of Ladan's sons and in a notice concerning responsibility for the treasuries.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in family and service notices · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 23:8 the form occurs among Ladan's sons; the APB renders the list "Jehiel, Zetham, and Joel." In 1 Chronicles 26:22 it occurs with Joel in a notice that they were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Zetham" in both verses, first in a family list and then alongside a statement about treasury oversight. The name's specific contribution is clearest from its proper-noun morphology and list placement.
