The name means "governor of Moab," suggesting a historical connection to the region of Moab, east of the Dead Sea. This family is mentioned in <a href="/ezra/2-6.htm">Ezra 2:6</a>, indicating their significance in the post-exilic community. The Moabites were historically enemies of Israel, yet here we see integration and restoration, reflecting God's inclusive plan for His people.<p><b>(through the line of Jeshua and Joab)</b><br>Jeshua, also known as Joshua, was a common name in Israel, meaning "The Lord is salvation." This Jeshua is not the high priest but likely a leader within the family. Joab, meaning "Yahweh is father," suggests a lineage that maintained faithfulness to God. The mention of these names highlights the importance of family lineage and leadership in the restoration of Jerusalem. It also underscores the continuity of God's covenant people through specific family lines.<p><b>2818</b><br>This number represents the descendants of Pahath-moab who returned to Jerusalem. The precision of the number underscores the importance of each individual in the rebuilding effort. It reflects the organized and communal nature of the return, as well as the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people.
