The name of the river (and possibly town) in Babylonia where Ezra added some Levites to the group of Jewish people returning home from exile. He also declared a fast (to stop eating for a time) there for the Jews to humble themselves and seek God's protection before returning to Palestine (Ezra 8:15, 21, 31).
