In the context of the returning exiles, it reflects the resources and assets that the Israelites managed to preserve or acquire during their captivity. The Hebrew root for "had" (&#1492;&#1464;&#1497;&#1464;&#1492;, hayah) often implies existence or being, suggesting that these animals were not just possessions but vital components of their community's livelihood and survival. It underscores God's provision and faithfulness in sustaining His people even in exile.<p><b>736 horses</b><br />Horses in ancient times were symbols of strength, power, and mobility. The specific number, 736, suggests a detailed and organized account, reflecting the importance of order and stewardship in the community. Horses were valuable for transportation and warfare, indicating that the returning exiles were preparing for both practical needs and potential defense. Historically, horses were less common in Israel compared to other nations, highlighting the significance of this possession as a sign of God's blessing and the community's readiness to rebuild.<p><b>245 mules</b><br />Mules, being hybrids of horses and donkeys, were prized for their strength and endurance. The mention of 245 mules indicates a substantial resource for carrying heavy loads and aiding in construction and agriculture. In the Hebrew context, mules were often associated with royalty and wealth, as they were used by kings and nobles. This detail emphasizes the community's preparedness for the laborious task of rebuilding Jerusalem and the temple, symbolizing hope and the promise of restoration. The specific number again reflects careful record-keeping and the importance of each resource in God's plan for His people.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezra/2-66.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">They had 736</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1513;&#1473;&#1456;&#1489;&#1463;&#1445;&#1506;</span> <span class="translit">(&#353;&#601;&#183;&#7687;a&#8216;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - feminine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7651.htm">Strong's 7651: </a> </span><span class="str2">Seven, seven times, a week, an indefinite number</span><br /><br /><span class="word">horses,</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1505;&#1493;&#1468;&#1505;&#1461;&#1497;&#1492;&#1462;&#1429;&#1501;</span> <span class="translit">(s&#363;&#183;s&#234;&#183;hem)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct &#124; third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5483.htm">Strong's 5483: </a> </span><span class="str2">A swallow, swift (type of bird)</span><br /><br /><span class="word">245</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1502;&#1464;&#1488;&#1514;&#1463;&#1430;&#1497;&#1460;&#1501;</span> <span class="translit">(m&#257;&#183;&#7791;a&#183;yim)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - fd<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3967.htm">Strong's 3967: </a> </span><span class="str2">A hundred</span><br /><br /><span class="word">mules,</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1508;&#1468;&#1460;&#1512;&#1456;&#1491;&#1461;&#1497;&#1492;&#1462;&#1429;&#1501;</span> <span class="translit">(pir&#183;&#7695;&#234;&#183;hem)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct &#124; third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6505.htm">Strong's 6505: </a> </span><span class="str2">A mule</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/ezra/2-66.htm">Ezra 2:66 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/ezra/2-66.htm">OT History: Ezra 2:66 Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six (Ezr.
