The descendants of Zaccai were part of the group returning from the Babylonian exile to Jerusalem and Judah. This return was significant as it fulfilled God's promise to restore His people to their land. The mention of Zaccai's descendants highlights the importance of family lineage and heritage in Jewish culture, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with Israel. The genealogical records in Nehemiah serve to establish the legitimacy of those who returned and their rightful claim to the land. This reflects the broader biblical theme of restoration and redemption.<p><b>760</b><br>The number 760 indicates the size of the group of Zaccai's descendants who returned. This specific enumeration underscores the meticulous record-keeping of the post-exilic community, which was crucial for re-establishing the social and religious order in Jerusalem. The precision in numbers also reflects the importance of each family and individual in the collective effort to rebuild the nation. In a broader biblical context, numbers often have symbolic significance, though here it primarily serves a historical purpose. The return of such a substantial group signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people back from exile, as prophesied in books like Jeremiah and Isaiah.<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.
