It is historically significant as a center of Jewish life during the post-exilic period. In the New Testament, Lod is mentioned in <a href="/acts/9-32.htm">Acts 9:32-35</a>, where Peter heals a paralytic, indicating its continued importance in early Christian history. The return of the men of Lod signifies the restoration of Jewish communities after the Babylonian exile, fulfilling prophecies of return and restoration found in books like Isaiah and Jeremiah.<p><b>Hadid:</b><br>Hadid is less frequently mentioned in biblical texts, but it is identified as a town in the territory of Benjamin. Its inclusion in the list of returnees highlights the comprehensive nature of the repopulation efforts during Nehemiah's time. The mention of Hadid alongside Lod and Ono suggests a strategic grouping of towns that were likely involved in mutual defense and economic cooperation, reflecting the communal efforts to rebuild and fortify the region.<p><b>and Ono:</b><br>Ono is another town in the Benjaminite territory, known for its valley, which is mentioned in <a href="/nehemiah/6-2.htm">Nehemiah 6:2</a> as a place where Nehemiah's enemies attempted to lure him away from his work on the Jerusalem wall. The mention of Ono here underscores the importance of the town in the regional network of settlements. It also serves as a reminder of the opposition faced by the Jewish people during their efforts to rebuild, a theme prevalent throughout the book of Nehemiah.<p><b>721</b><br>The specific number of returnees, 721, indicates the detailed record-keeping and organization involved in the repatriation process. This number reflects the careful planning and divine providence in the restoration of the Jewish community. It also emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promises to bring His people back to their land, as seen in prophecies like those in <a href="/ezekiel/36-24.htm">Ezekiel 36:24</a>. The precision of this number highlights the historical reliability of the biblical narrative and the importance of each individual in God's redemptive plan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/l/lod.htm">Lod</a></b><br>A town in the territory of Benjamin, known in the New Testament as Lydda.
