What Does Nehemiah 7:38 Mean?
The descendants of Senaah are recorded, numbering nearly four thousand, the largest single entry in the lay portion of the list. This great household closes the enrollment of the common families before the priests are named. Its size stands out among the rest.
That the lay families end with so large a number shows the breadth of the people who returned to rebuild. The great and the small have all been counted together. The reader sees a restored community of many thousands, each household named, all gathered by the God who remembers His own.
