What Does Ezra 8:6 Mean?
The family of Adin now adds fifty men under Ebed son of Jonathan. After the larger companies, this smaller number takes its place in the record without being overlooked.
Fifty is counted as faithfully as three hundred. In God's gathering, the modest company matters as much as the great one. He does not despise small numbers, for His purposes have never depended on size but on the willing hearts of those who come.
