What Does Ezra 8:4 Mean?
Pahath-moab, meaning governor of Moab, is another large clan that had sent returnees in the first migration. Now Elihoenai leads two hundred of its men back to the land, continuing the steady gathering Ezra records.
The repetition of households already represented earlier shows a people returning in waves, generation reaching after generation toward home. God's restoring work is patient and ongoing, not finished in a single day, and He keeps drawing His people until the work is complete.
