In this context, it refers to a family group returning from the Babylonian exile. The name means "Yahweh has judged," which reflects the belief in divine justice and providence. This family is part of the larger group of Israelites who returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the city and the temple, emphasizing the restoration of the Jewish community and their covenant relationship with God.<p><b>the descendants of Hattil</b><br>Hattil is a less commonly mentioned name in the Bible, and little is known about this family group. The inclusion of such names in the genealogical records underscores the importance of every family in the restoration process. It highlights the collective effort required to reestablish the nation of Israel. This reflects the biblical theme of community and the role of each individual and family in fulfilling God's purposes.<p><b>the descendants of Pochereth-hazzebaim</b><br>The name Pochereth-hazzebaim is unique and somewhat enigmatic, possibly meaning "the snaring of the gazelles." This name may indicate a family with a specific trade or characteristic, as names often held significant meaning in ancient cultures. The mention of such distinct names in the genealogical records serves to preserve the identity and heritage of the people, ensuring that even those with less prominent roles are remembered in the history of Israel's restoration.<p><b>and the descendants of Amon</b><br>Amon is a name that appears elsewhere in the Bible, notably as the name of a king of Judah. However, in this context, it refers to a family group among the returning exiles. The name means "faithful" or "trustworthy," which may reflect the character or aspirations of this family. The inclusion of Amon's descendants in the list of returnees highlights the theme of faithfulness to God's promises and the hope of renewal and restoration for the people of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/shephatiah.htm">Shephatiah</a></b><br>A family listed among those returning from exile.
