the descendants of Ater
The phrase "the descendants of Ater" refers to a specific family lineage within the Israelite community. The name "Ater" in Hebrew means "left-handed" or "bound," which may indicate a unique characteristic or historical significance of this family. In the context of the return from Babylonian exile, the mention of Ater's descendants highlights the importance of family heritage and continuity in the restoration of Israel. This lineage is part of the broader narrative of God's faithfulness in preserving His people through generations, despite the challenges of exile and dispersion.

(through Hezekiah)
The parenthetical note "(through Hezekiah)" suggests a connection to a notable figure, possibly King Hezekiah of Judah, known for his faithfulness and reforms. This connection may imply a noble or respected heritage, underscoring the significance of this family in the post-exilic community. Historically, Hezekiah was a king who sought to restore proper worship and reliance on God, which aligns with the themes of renewal and restoration in the book of Ezra. The mention of Hezekiah serves as a reminder of the legacy of faith and leadership that continues to influence the returning exiles.

98
The specific number "98" indicates the count of individuals from the family of Ater who returned to Jerusalem. This precise enumeration reflects the careful record-keeping and organization of the returning exiles, emphasizing the importance of each family and individual in the rebuilding of the nation. The number also signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people back to their land, as each person represents a part of the larger community being restored. In a spiritual sense, this count reminds believers of the value God places on each person and the role they play in His divine plan.
