Nehemiah 7:31 Meaning and Explanation

The men of Michmas are recorded as one hundred twenty-two. This town of Benjamin, known from earlier days of Israel's wars, is resettled by the returned. The enrollment by place continues.

Each town named carries its own history, yet all are joined now in the work of restoration. Michmas takes its modest place among the rest. The reader sees a land being knit back together, town by town, as God restores His people to their inheritance.
