From the sons of Hashum
This phrase identifies the lineage of the individuals mentioned in the verse. The "sons of Hashum" refers to a family or clan within the Israelite community. Hashum is listed among those who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:19). This highlights the continuity of the Israelite community and their commitment to restoring their covenant relationship with God. The mention of specific families underscores the importance of genealogical records in maintaining the identity and heritage of the people of Israel.

Mattenai
The name Mattenai is derived from the Hebrew root "mattan," meaning "gift." This name may reflect the parents' gratitude to God for the gift of a child. In the context of this verse, Mattenai is one of the individuals who had taken foreign wives, which was against the Mosaic Law. The inclusion of his name in this list signifies his participation in the communal act of repentance and the restoration of purity within the community.

Mattattah
Similar to Mattenai, the name Mattattah also has its roots in the Hebrew word for "gift." The repetition of names with similar meanings may indicate a cultural or familial tradition of naming children with names that express gratitude or divine favor. This reflects the Israelites' understanding of children as blessings from God and their desire to honor Him through their names.

Zabad
The name Zabad comes from the Hebrew root "zabad," meaning "to endow" or "to bestow." This name suggests a sense of being endowed with blessings or gifts, possibly indicating the parents' hope for their child's future. In the context of Ezra 10, Zabad's inclusion in the list of those who had taken foreign wives highlights the widespread nature of the issue and the collective responsibility to address it.

Eliphelet
Eliphelet is a name that means "God is deliverance" or "God is my deliverance." This name reflects a deep trust in God's ability to save and deliver His people. In the context of the post-exilic community, such a name would serve as a reminder of God's faithfulness in bringing the Israelites back to their land and the need to remain faithful to His commandments.

Jeremai
The name Jeremai is less common and its exact meaning is uncertain, but it may be related to the Hebrew root "ramah," meaning "to be high" or "to be exalted." This could imply a sense of elevation or honor. The inclusion of Jeremai in this list serves as a reminder that even those with esteemed names or positions are not exempt from the call to repentance and obedience to God's law.

Manasseh
The name Manasseh means "causing to forget" and is famously associated with Joseph's son in Genesis, who was named so because "God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household" (Genesis 41:51). In this context, the name may symbolize the hope of moving past the transgressions of intermarriage and returning to a state of covenant faithfulness.

Shimei
Shimei is a name that means "heard" or "hearing," derived from the Hebrew root "shama," which means "to hear" or "to listen." This name emphasizes the importance of listening to God's commands and the prophetic call to repentance. In the context of Ezra 10, Shimei's inclusion in the list underscores the need for the community to heed the call to separate from foreign influences and renew their commitment to God.
