Their offerings the descendants of Gibbar, The mention of "the descendants of Gibbar" in Ezra 2:20 refers to a specific family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile to Jerusalem and Judah. The name "Gibbar" is not widely known outside of this context, and there is limited information about this group elsewhere in the Bible. This highlights the importance of every family in the restoration of Israel, emphasizing that each group, regardless of size or fame, played a role in the rebuilding of the community. The listing of names in Ezra 2 serves to authenticate the historical return and to ensure that the genealogical records were maintained, which was crucial for the re-establishment of tribal and family identities in post-exilic Israel. 95; Persons / Places / Events 1. GibbarA name mentioned in the genealogical list of those who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. The descendants of Gibbar numbered 95. The name "Gibbar" may mean "strong" or "mighty" in Hebrew, indicating a possible characteristic or reputation of this family or individual. 2. Return from Exile This event marks the return of the Jewish people from Babylonian captivity to Jerusalem and Judah, as decreed by King Cyrus of Persia. It was a significant moment of restoration and rebuilding for the Jewish community. 3. Zerubbabel A leader of the first group of exiles returning to Jerusalem. He played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the temple and the re-establishment of Jewish worship. Teaching Points The Importance of Heritage and IdentityThe listing of names and numbers in Ezra 2 underscores the importance of knowing one's heritage and identity. As Christians, understanding our spiritual heritage in Christ is vital for our identity and purpose. God's Faithfulness in Restoration The return from exile is a testament to God's faithfulness in restoring His people. In our lives, God is faithful to restore and rebuild what is broken when we turn back to Him. The Role of Community in God's Plan The collective return of families and groups highlights the importance of community in God's redemptive plan. We are called to be part of a community of believers, supporting and encouraging one another in our faith journey. Obedience to God's Call The willingness of the exiles to return to Jerusalem despite the challenges reflects obedience to God's call. We are encouraged to respond to God's leading, trusting in His provision and guidance.Verse 20. - The children of Gibbar. For "Gibbar" we should probably read "Gibeon," which occurs in the corresponding passage of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 7:25). The writer at this point passes from persons to places, making the latter portion of his list topographical. Gibeon was a well-known town in Benjamin (Joshua 18:25). Other Benjamite towns in the list are Anathoth, Ramah, Gabs, Michmas, Bethel, and Jericho. It would seem that the descendants of the captives carried off from these places retained a traditional knowledge of the locality to which they belonged. Parallel Commentaries ...
