They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town, / accompanied by Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. This is the count of the men of Israel: / the descendants of Parosh, 2,172; ... Nehemiah 11:3-36 These are the heads of the provinces who settled in Jerusalem. (In the villages of Judah, however, each lived on his own property in their towns—the Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants, and descendants of Solomon’s servants— / while some of the descendants of Judah and Benjamin settled in Jerusalem.) From the descendants of Judah: Athaiah son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, a descendant of Perez; / and Maaseiah son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, a descendant of Shelah. ... 1 Chronicles 9:2-3 Now the first to resettle their own property in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants. / Some of the descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem: Nehemiah 3:26 and the temple servants living on the hill of Ophel made repairs opposite the Water Gate toward the east and the tower that juts out. Nehemiah 11:21 The temple servants lived on the hill of Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over them. 1 Chronicles 9:17-19 These were the gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives. Shallum was their chief; / he was previously stationed at the King’s Gate on the east side. These were the gatekeepers from the camp of the Levites. / Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives from the Korahites were assigned to guard the thresholds of the Tent, just as their fathers had been assigned to guard the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD. Nehemiah 12:25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates. Nehemiah 12:44-47 And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving. / They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed. / For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. ...

Nehemiah 13:10-14 I also learned that because the portions for the Levites had not been given to them, all the Levites and singers responsible for performing the service had gone back to their own fields. / So I rebuked the officials and asked, “Why has the house of God been neglected?” Then I gathered the Levites and singers together and stationed them at their posts, / and all Judah brought a tenth of the grain, new wine, and oil into the storerooms. ...

Their offerings the descendants of Bazluth The mention of "the descendants of Bazluth" in Ezra 2:52 refers to a group returning from the Babylonian exile. The name Bazluth is not widely known outside of this context, suggesting it may have been a smaller or less prominent family. This listing is part of a genealogical record that underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in post-exilic Jewish society. The return from exile was a fulfillment of God's promise to restore Israel, and each family listed represents a piece of that restoration. The emphasis on descendants highlights the continuity of God's covenant with His people, as seen in other genealogical records throughout the Bible, such as in Genesis and Chronicles. the descendants of Mehida the descendants of Harsha Persons / Places / Events 1.

The Nethinim were assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. 2. The Return from Exile This event marks the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem, led by Zerubbabel, as they sought to rebuild the temple and restore their community. 3. The Nethinim A group of temple servants who played a crucial role in the functioning of the temple. Their inclusion in the list highlights the importance of every member in the community, regardless of their specific role. Teaching Points The Value of Every RoleThe inclusion of the descendants of Bazluth among the Nethinim reminds us that every role in the body of Christ is valuable. Just as the Nethinim were essential to temple service, each believer has a unique contribution to make in the church. Faithfulness in Service The Nethinim's dedication to their duties, despite their seemingly minor role, teaches us the importance of faithfulness in whatever task God has given us. Our service, no matter how small, is significant in God's eyes. Community Restoration The return from exile and the rebuilding of the temple illustrate the importance of community and collective effort in restoring and maintaining spiritual life. We are called to work together in unity for the growth and health of the church. Heritage and Identity The mention of specific families and clans, like Bazluth, underscores the importance of heritage and identity in God's plan. Our spiritual heritage in Christ gives us a sense of belonging and purpose. Parallel Commentaries ...
