Zerah was a twin brother to Perez, and their birth is recorded in <a href="/genesis/38-27.htm">Genesis 38:27-30</a>. The Zerahites are part of the tribe of Judah, which held a significant position among the tribes of Israel. Judah was the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended, highlighting the importance of this lineage. The mention of the Zerahites here underscores the continuity and preservation of the tribal identities even after the Babylonian exile.<p><b>Jeuel:</b><br>Jeuel is a relatively obscure figure in the Bible, mentioned here as a leader or representative of the Zerahites. The name Jeuel means "God sweeps away" or "God gathers," which could imply a role in gathering or leading his people. This mention signifies the importance of individual leaders in maintaining the identity and organization of the tribes during the return from exile.<p><b>and 690 relatives:</b><br>The specific number of 690 relatives indicates a detailed record-keeping and a sense of community among the returning exiles. This number reflects the importance of family and tribal connections in the post-exilic period. The precision of this count suggests a well-organized effort to re-establish the community in Jerusalem. It also highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land, as seen in prophecies like <a href="/jeremiah/29-10.htm">Jeremiah 29:10-14</a>. The return of the Zerahites, along with other families, is part of the larger narrative of restoration and rebuilding, which is a recurring theme in the post-exilic books of the Bible.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/z/zerahites.htm">Zerahites</a></b><br>Descendants of Zerah, one of the sons of Judah.

We see from the verse before us that the Zarhites were more numerous in Jerusalem than the Parzites. The chronicler has again exercised his own discretion in the choice and rejection of details.<p><span class= "bld">Jeuel, and their brethren.</span>--The plural pronoun clearly hints that Jeuel is a Zarhite father-house or clan.
