Senaah is likely a place name, possibly a town or region, though its exact location is uncertain. It is mentioned in the context of the returnees who came back to Jerusalem and Judah under the decree of Cyrus, King of Persia. This highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land. The inclusion of Senaah's descendants underscores the comprehensive nature of the return, involving various families and clans. This reflects the unity and diversity within the community of Israel, as God gathers His people from different backgrounds.<p><b>3630</b><br>The specific number, 3,630, indicates the size of the group from Senaah that returned. This precise enumeration is part of a broader list in <a href="/ezra/2.htm">Ezra 2</a>, which serves to document the faithfulness of God in preserving His people. The detailed record emphasizes the importance of each family and individual in the restoration process. Numerically, the listing of returnees also serves as a testament to the historical accuracy and reliability of the biblical account. The careful recording of numbers reflects the organized and intentional nature of the return, as well as the administrative capabilities of the leaders like Zerubbabel and Jeshua. This number, along with others in the chapter, contributes to the overall picture of a significant and divinely orchestrated return to the Promised Land.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/senaah.htm">Senaah</a></b><br>A family or clan mentioned in the context of the Jewish exiles returning to Jerusalem and Judah.
