What Does Nehemiah 7:68 Mean?
The record now counts the animals brought by the returned: seven hundred thirty-six horses and two hundred forty-five mules. These beasts of burden and travel were part of the community's resources. Their numbers are noted with the same care as the people.
The careful counting even of livestock shows that God's provision extended to every need of the journey and the rebuilding. Nothing the people required was left unprovided. The reader sees that the God who gathers His people also supplies them, furnishing the means for the work He calls them to undertake.
