What Does Ezra 2:55 Mean?
A related group now appears — the descendants of Solomon's servants, families whose forefathers had been assigned to royal and temple labor in Solomon's day. The first of them, Sotai, Sophereth, and Peruda, are named here.
These families had served the work of God's house for generations, their calling reaching back to the days of the first temple. Their return shows a thread of faithful service unbroken across the long centuries, picked up again as the temple was raised anew.
