What Does Ezra 8:10 Mean?
The house of Shelomith contributes one hundred sixty men, led by the son of Josiphiah. Threescore means sixty, and the running total of returnees continues to grow with each clan.
The gathering swells as family joins family, a remnant being knit back together after the scattering of exile. What sin and judgment had broken, God was now mending, drawing the dispersed into one returning people bound for His house.
