What Does Ezra 2:60 Mean?
The three families of uncertain descent — Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda — are counted at six hundred fifty-two. They returned in earnest, though their ancestry remained unproven.
That these families are still numbered shows they were not cast out. They journeyed home and took their place among the people, their question left open rather than closed against them. God's gathering can hold even those whose belonging is not yet fully resolved.
