the men of Anathoth
Anathoth was a town in the territory of Benjamin, mentioned several times in the Old Testament. It is notably the hometown of the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:1). The name "Anathoth" is derived from the Hebrew root "anath," which means "answer" or "response." This could symbolize the town's historical role as a place of communication or divine response. Anathoth was also a Levitical city, meaning it was designated for the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel (Joshua 21:18). This connection to the Levites underscores the town's spiritual significance and its inhabitants' likely involvement in religious duties. The mention of "the men of Anathoth" in Nehemiah 7:27 highlights the continuity of this community's presence and their return from exile, emphasizing their commitment to restoring their heritage and faith.

128
The specific number "128" signifies the count of men from Anathoth who returned to Jerusalem and Judah after the Babylonian exile. Numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic weight, and while 128 does not have a widely recognized symbolic meaning, its specificity underscores the meticulous record-keeping and the importance of each individual in the restoration process. This enumeration reflects the broader biblical theme of God's care for His people, where every person is known and valued. The return of these 128 men represents a microcosm of the larger restoration of Israel, a testament to God's faithfulness in bringing His people back to their land. It also serves as an inspiration for believers today, reminding them of the importance of community, heritage, and the fulfillment of God's promises.
