The name Adin is believed to mean "delicate" or "luxurious." This family is listed among those who returned with Zerubbabel, a leader of the first group of exiles returning to Jerusalem. The inclusion of Adin's descendants highlights the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in post-exilic Jewish society. This return was part of the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land, as prophesied in books like Jeremiah and Isaiah. The genealogical records were crucial for re-establishing the community and religious practices in Jerusalem.<p><b>454;</b><br>The number 454 indicates the count of male members from the family of Adin who returned. This specific number underscores the precision and care with which the Jewish community recorded their genealogies, reflecting the importance of each family in the rebuilding of the nation. The detailed census also served practical purposes, such as organizing labor for the reconstruction of the temple and the city walls. The exactness of these records is a testament to the historical reliability of the biblical narrative and the fulfillment of God's covenant promises. The return of these individuals is a part of the larger narrative of restoration and renewal, which is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, symbolizing spiritual renewal and the hope of redemption.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/adin.htm">Adin</a></b><br>Adin is the name of a family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile.
