What Does Ezra 2:16 Mean?
The children of Ater, identified through the line of Hezekiah, return with only ninety-eight members — one of the smaller counts.
A house need not be great to be remembered. Linked here to a name of honor, this little family takes its place among the people of promise. God treasures faithfulness more than numbers, and the few who return are no less His than the many.
