435 camels
The mention of "435 camels" in this verse highlights the wealth and resources of the returning exiles. In the ancient Near East, camels were valuable assets, often used for long-distance travel and trade due to their ability to endure harsh desert conditions. The Hebrew word for camel, "גָּמָל" (gamal), signifies a beast of burden, essential for the transportation of goods and people. This number indicates the significant logistical planning and provision necessary for the journey back to Jerusalem. It reflects God's provision and the community's preparedness to undertake the arduous task of rebuilding their homeland.

6,720 donkeys
The "6,720 donkeys" further emphasize the substantial resources available to the returning exiles. Donkeys, known in Hebrew as "חֲמוֹר" (chamor), were common work animals in ancient times, used for carrying loads and plowing fields. The large number of donkeys suggests the community's readiness to engage in agricultural activities upon their return. Historically, this reflects the agrarian society of the Israelites and their dependence on such animals for daily life and economic stability. The abundance of donkeys symbolizes the community's hope and determination to restore their land and livelihoods, trusting in God's faithfulness to provide for their needs as they resettle in the Promised Land.

(67) The asses, as throughout earlier Hebrew history, are the chief and most numerous beasts of burden.

Verse 67. - Their asses. The ass (we see) is still, as in the earlier times, the chief beast of burden employed by the Israelites. Horses are rare, camels and mules still rarer; but most emigrant families had, it would seem, one ass (comp. 1 Samuel 8:16; 1 Chronicles 27:30; Isaiah 30:6).

CHAPTER 2:68-70 THE OFFERINGS MADE BY THE RETURNED EXILES ON THEIR ARRIVAL AT JERUSALEM (vers. 68-70). It has been customary among the pious of all ages and countries to make thank-offerings to the Almighty on the accomplishment of any important or dangerous work. The long journey of the exiles from Babylonia to Jerusalem involved considerable risk (see Ezra 8:22, 31), and its successful termination naturally called forth their gratitude. The character of the offerings made is indicative of the fact, otherwise probable, that the exiles had turned all that they possessed into money, and had brought to Jerusalem a considerable amount of coin.
