This indicates a continuity of faith and identity among the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of family lineage and tribal affiliation in maintaining cultural and religious heritage. The name Azgad means "strong is Gad," which may reflect the tribe's reliance on God's strength.<p><b>Johanan son of Hakkatan</b><br>Johanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious," is a common name in the Old Testament, signifying the importance of God's grace in the lives of His people.

This highlights the biblical theme that God often uses the humble and seemingly insignificant for His purposes.<p><b>and with him 110 men</b><br>The specific number of 110 men accompanying Johanan underscores the organized and communal nature of the return to Jerusalem. This group represents a microcosm of the larger community of Israelites committed to restoring their homeland and religious practices.
