Nehemiah 7:18 Meaning and Explanation

The descendants of Adonikam are enrolled, numbering six hundred sixty-seven. The list continues its steady reckoning of returned families. Another household is added to the roll.

The unbroken sequence of names testifies to a people rebuilt one family at a time. Each return was a choice, and each choice is honored in the record. God keeps account of His own, and in that keeping the reader sees His faithful remembrance of those who answer His call.
