What Does Ezra 2:67 Mean?
The tally of animals concludes with four hundred thirty-five camels and six thousand seven hundred twenty donkeys — by far the most numerous, the everyday beasts of burden for hauling goods and rebuilding.
The great number of donkeys speaks to the heavy work awaiting the returnees: carrying stone, timber, and supplies for homes and temple alike. The homecoming was no leisurely return but the beginning of strenuous labor, and the people came supplied to meet it. God provides not only the call but the means to fulfill it.
