the descendants of Zattu,
The mention of "the descendants of Zattu" refers to one of the families or clans that returned from the Babylonian exile to Jerusalem and Judah. Zattu is listed among the leaders who returned with Zerubbabel in the earlier return from exile (Ezra 2:8). This indicates a continuity of faith and commitment to the restoration of Jerusalem. The name Zattu itself is not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, suggesting that this family, while not prominent, played a significant role in the rebuilding efforts. The inclusion of such names underscores the importance of every family and individual in the collective effort to restore the nation.

845;
The number "845" represents the count of male members from the family of Zattu who returned. This specific number highlights the detailed record-keeping and organization involved in the return from exile. It reflects the importance of each family unit in the repopulation and rebuilding of Jerusalem. The precision of this number also serves to authenticate the historical reliability of the biblical narrative. In the broader context of Nehemiah 7, these numbers contribute to the total census of the returned exiles, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land.
