Berean Study Bible

of the descendants of Shecaniah
The name "Shecaniah" is rooted in the Hebrew word "שְׁכַנְיָה" (Shekanyah), meaning "the Lord has dwelt." This name reflects a deep spiritual heritage, suggesting a lineage that is conscious of God's presence. In the context of Ezra, this highlights the importance of maintaining a connection with God through one's ancestry and the spiritual legacy passed down through generations. The descendants of Shecaniah are part of a larger narrative of return and restoration, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people.

from the descendants of Parosh
"Parosh" is derived from the Hebrew "פָּרוֹשׁ" (Parosh), meaning "flea." While the name might seem insignificant, it represents one of the families that returned from Babylonian exile. This underscores the theme that God values all His people, regardless of their perceived status or significance. The inclusion of Parosh's descendants in the return to Jerusalem signifies the collective effort and unity required to rebuild the community and the temple, reflecting the broader biblical principle that every member of the body of Christ is essential.

Zechariah
The name "Zechariah" comes from the Hebrew "זְכַרְיָה" (Zekharyah), meaning "the Lord remembers." This is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and His commitment to His promises. Zechariah, as a leader among the returning exiles, embodies the hope and assurance that God has not forgotten His people, even in their captivity. His leadership role in this journey back to Jerusalem is a testament to the importance of godly leadership in guiding and inspiring others to fulfill God's purposes.

and with him were registered 150 men
The act of registration indicates an organized and intentional effort to account for those returning to Jerusalem. The number "150" signifies a substantial group, reflecting the communal nature of the return. This organized return is not just a physical journey but a spiritual pilgrimage, symbolizing a collective recommitment to God's covenant. The registration of these men highlights the importance of accountability and the role of community in spiritual renewal and restoration. It serves as an inspiration for believers today to be counted among those who actively participate in God's redemptive work.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 3. - Of the sons of Shechaniah. This clause should be attached to the preceding verse, since it refers to Hattush, who was Shechaniah's grandson; and ver. 3 should begin with the words, "Of the sons of Pharosh, Zechariah."
