Nebo is likely a location, possibly a town or region, rather than a personal name. This place is not extensively detailed in the Bible, but it is thought to be situated in the region of Moab, east of the Jordan River. The return of these descendants signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people back to their land after the exile. This return is part of the larger narrative of restoration and rebuilding, as seen in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. The inclusion of Nebo's descendants highlights the comprehensive nature of the return, encompassing various families and regions.<p><b>52;</b><br>The number "52" indicates the count of individuals from the descendants of Nebo who returned. This specific enumeration underscores the meticulous record-keeping and the importance of each family and individual in the restoration process. The precision in numbers reflects the historical accuracy and the significance of each group in the re-establishment of the Jewish community in Jerusalem. This attention to detail is consistent with other genealogical records in the Bible, such as those found in the books of Chronicles, which emphasize the continuity of God's people and His faithfulness to His covenant promises.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nebo.htm">Nebo</a></b><br>A town or region mentioned in the context of the return of the exiles to Jerusalem.
