Horses were valuable assets in ancient times, often used for transportation, military purposes, and agricultural work. The presence of 736 horses indicates a significant investment in mobility and defense, suggesting the community's preparedness for both travel and potential conflict. Horses are frequently mentioned in the Bible as symbols of strength and power (e.g., <a href="/psalms/20-7.htm">Psalm 20:7</a>), and their inclusion here underscores the rebuilding efforts' seriousness and the community's commitment to establishing a stable society.<p><b>245 mules</b><br>Mules, being hybrids of horses and donkeys, were prized for their strength and endurance, making them ideal for carrying heavy loads over long distances. The mention of 245 mules highlights the practical needs of the returning exiles as they transported materials and goods necessary for rebuilding Jerusalem. Mules were less common than horses, indicating a strategic choice in their use for specific tasks. In biblical times, mules were often associated with royalty and nobility (e.g., <a href="/2_samuel/18-9.htm">2 Samuel 18:9</a>), suggesting that the community was well-equipped for both practical and prestigious purposes. The inclusion of mules in this inventory reflects the careful planning and resource management essential for the successful reestablishment of the Jewish community in their homeland.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nehemiah.htm">Nehemiah</a></b><br>The central figure in the book, Nehemiah was a cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes and later became the governor of Judah.
