Explanation preview

Nehemiah 7 records the census of returned exiles, and this verse falls within the list of temple servants, the Nethinim, who assisted the Levites in the sanctuary. These names are family or clan groups rather than individuals, and their inclusion shows that even the humblest workers were counted and registered by genealogy.
