Berean Study Bible

of the sons of Shephatiah
The phrase "of the sons of Shephatiah" refers to a specific lineage within the Israelite community. Shephatiah, whose name means "Yahweh has judged," is a name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, indicating a family or clan that was significant in the post-exilic period. This highlights the importance of genealogical records in maintaining the identity and heritage of the Jewish people, especially after the Babylonian exile. The emphasis on lineage underscores the fulfillment of God's promises to preserve His people and their heritage.

Zebadiah son of Michael
"Zebadiah" means "Yahweh has bestowed," reflecting a common practice of naming children in a way that acknowledges God's providence and blessings. The mention of "son of Michael" provides a specific identification, ensuring clarity about which Zebadiah is being referenced. Michael, meaning "Who is like God?" is a name that signifies reverence and awe towards the Almighty. This naming convention reflects the deep spiritual consciousness of the Israelites, who saw their identity and purpose as intertwined with their relationship with God.

and with him 80 men
The phrase "and with him 80 men" indicates the number of individuals accompanying Zebadiah. This detail is significant as it reflects the organized and communal nature of the return to Jerusalem. The number 80, while not symbolically significant in itself, represents a substantial group, suggesting a collective commitment to the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. This communal effort is a testament to the unity and shared purpose among the returning exiles, emphasizing the importance of community in fulfilling God's plans. The mention of these men also highlights the role of leadership and followership in the journey of faith, as they trusted in God's provision and guidance for their return.
