The Hebrew Achuzzam (אַחוּזָם) is a personal name meaning 'their possession' or 'he has seized/possessed,' from the root אָחַז (achaz, to seize or hold). Achuzzam was a descendant of Ashhur, of the tribe of Judah, recorded in the genealogical lists of 1 Chronicles. His name declares the conviction that what God grants is truly possessed.
The name Achuzzam — 'their possession' — reflects the Hebrew understanding that God-given inheritance is real and secure. The root achaz (to grasp, hold fast) is used throughout the Old Testament for firmly holding both physical territories and spiritual truths. Israel's identity was inseparable from their possessions of land and covenant — both given by God, both to be held with faith. Genealogies like these affirm that every family in the covenant community had dignity and a named place in God's story.
