in Hazar-shual
The name "Hazar-shual" can be translated from Hebrew as "village of the fox." This location is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, indicating its significance in the tribal allotments of Judah (Joshua 15:28). The mention of Hazar-shual in Nehemiah signifies the restoration and repopulation efforts during Nehemiah's time. Historically, this area was part of the Negev, a semi-arid region, which required resilience and faith from its inhabitants. The reference to Hazar-shual in this context underscores the commitment of the Jewish people to reclaim and inhabit their ancestral lands, despite the challenges posed by the environment.

in Beersheba
Beersheba holds a prominent place in biblical history, often associated with the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The name "Beersheba" means "well of the oath" or "well of seven," referring to the covenant made between Abraham and Abimelech (Genesis 21:31). As a southernmost city in ancient Israel, Beersheba symbolized the extent of the Promised Land, often mentioned in the phrase "from Dan to Beersheba." In Nehemiah's time, the inclusion of Beersheba in the list of resettled areas highlights the restoration of Israel's historical and spiritual heritage. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises and the importance of covenantal relationships.

and its villages
The phrase "and its villages" indicates the broader scope of Nehemiah's restoration efforts, extending beyond major cities to include surrounding rural areas. This reflects the comprehensive nature of the repopulation strategy, ensuring that the land was fully inhabited and cultivated. The villages represent the everyday lives of the people, their agricultural activities, and community interactions. In a spiritual sense, this phrase can inspire believers to recognize the importance of both significant and seemingly minor aspects of life in fulfilling God's purposes. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of communities and the collective effort required to rebuild and sustain a nation.

Verse 27. - Hazar-shual and Beer-sheba are united in Joshua 15:28, and were no doubt near together. Hazar-shual means "the village of foxes."
