It was the first city conquered by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership (Joshua 6). The mention of "the men of Jericho" in <a href="/nehemiah/7-36.htm">Nehemiah 7:36</a> highlights the continuity of the Jewish presence in this historically significant city. Jericho's inclusion in the list of returnees underscores its importance in the post-exilic community. The city's rebuilding and repopulation were crucial for re-establishing Israel's presence in the land. Jericho's location made it a key point for trade and defense, contributing to the economic and military stability of the region.<p><b>345</b><br>The specific number of 345 men from Jericho returning to Jerusalem reflects the detailed record-keeping and organization of the post-exilic community. This number signifies the commitment of the people of Jericho to the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. It also indicates the relative size of the community willing to leave their established lives to participate in the rebuilding efforts. The precision of this number demonstrates the importance of each individual's contribution to the collective effort, emphasizing the communal nature of the restoration project. This meticulous accounting is consistent with the broader biblical theme of God's people being counted and known by name, as seen in other census records throughout Scripture (e.g., <a href="/numbers/1.htm">Numbers 1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nehemiah.htm">Nehemiah</a></b><br>A Jewish leader who played a crucial role in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.
