From the descendants of Zattu
The mention of "Zattu" connects us to the genealogical records of the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of lineage and heritage in Jewish culture. Zattu is listed among those who returned with Zerubbabel in Ezra 2:8, indicating a family committed to the restoration of Jerusalem. This highlights the continuity of faith and dedication across generations, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible. The Hebrew root for "Zattu" may suggest a sense of protection or defense, reflecting the role of these families in safeguarding their spiritual heritage.

Shecaniah son of Jahaziel
"Shecaniah" is a name that appears multiple times in the Bible, often associated with leadership and reform. The name means "the LORD has dwelt," suggesting a divine presence and favor upon this individual. "Jahaziel," meaning "God sees" or "God looks," further underscores the divine oversight and involvement in the lives of His people. This pairing of names serves as a reminder of God's intimate knowledge and presence in the journey of His people, encouraging believers to trust in His guidance.

and with him 300 men
The specific number "300" is reminiscent of other biblical accounts, such as Gideon's army in Judges 7, where God used a small number to achieve great victory. This number signifies strength, unity, and divine empowerment. The men accompanying Shecaniah represent a committed group ready to support the mission of returning to Jerusalem. Historically, this reflects the organized and communal effort required for such a significant undertaking, emphasizing the importance of collective action in fulfilling God's purposes.

(5) The son of Janaziel.--Obviously a name is omitted. The LXX. have, "of the sons of Zattu, Shechaniah," before Jahaziel.

Verse 5. - A name has fallen out either between "Shechaniah" and "the son of Jahaziel," or between "of the sons" and "of Shechaniah." The Septuagint has, "Of the sons of Zattu, Shechaniah, the son of Jahaziel." Zattu is mentioned in Ezra 2:8.
