Shallum
The name "Shallum" is derived from the Hebrew root "שָׁלוֹם" (shalom), meaning peace or completeness. In the context of Ezra, Shallum is one of the Israelites who had taken foreign wives, which was against the Mosaic Law. The inclusion of his name in this list signifies a commitment to restoring peace and order by adhering to God's commandments. Historically, the name Shallum appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with leaders or individuals who played roles in maintaining or restoring order. This highlights the importance of leadership in guiding the community back to faithfulness.

Amariah
"Amariah" comes from the Hebrew "אֲמַרְיָה" (Amaryah), meaning "Yahweh has promised" or "Yahweh speaks." This name reflects a deep connection to God's promises and the importance of divine communication. In the historical context of Ezra, Amariah's inclusion in the list of those who had taken foreign wives underscores the need for the Israelites to return to the promises and covenants made with God. It serves as a reminder of the faithfulness required to uphold God's laws and the hope that comes from His promises.

Joseph
The name "Joseph" is derived from the Hebrew "יוֹסֵף" (Yosef), meaning "He will add" or "God will increase." Joseph is a name rich with biblical history, most notably associated with the son of Jacob who rose to prominence in Egypt. In Ezra, the mention of Joseph signifies the potential for growth and restoration when the community aligns itself with God's will. It is a call to trust in God's ability to increase and bless His people when they repent and return to Him. The historical significance of Joseph as a figure of redemption and provision resonates with the theme of renewal in the book of Ezra.
