The descendants of Pashhur
This phrase refers to the lineage of Pashhur, a name that appears in various contexts within the Old Testament. Pashhur is a priestly name, and its mention here signifies the importance of maintaining a record of those who returned from the Babylonian exile. The name Pashhur itself is of Hebrew origin, meaning "split" or "cleft," which could metaphorically suggest division or separation, possibly reflecting the historical context of the exile and return. The descendants of Pashhur were part of the priestly families, emphasizing the restoration of religious order and worship in Jerusalem. This restoration was crucial for re-establishing the identity and spiritual life of the Jewish people after their return.

1,247
This specific number highlights the precision and care with which the genealogical records were kept. In the context of Nehemiah's mission, these numbers were not merely statistics but represented the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people. The detailed record-keeping underscores the importance of each family and individual in the collective effort to rebuild Jerusalem. Historically, such records were vital for maintaining tribal and familial identities, ensuring that the priestly and Levitical lines were preserved according to the Law of Moses. This meticulous attention to detail reflects the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness to His covenant people, ensuring that each person has a place and purpose in His divine plan.
