This indicates that the family of Hashum was part of the Jewish community that maintained their identity and faith during the Babylonian captivity. The return from exile was a fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land, as prophesied in <a href="/jeremiah/29-10.htm">Jeremiah 29:10</a>. The inclusion of Hashum's descendants in the list underscores the importance of family lineage and continuity in Jewish culture, reflecting the covenantal relationship between God and Israel.<p><b>328;</b><br>The specific number of 328 descendants highlights the precision and care with which the genealogical records were maintained. This attention to detail was crucial for re-establishing the community in Jerusalem and ensuring the proper allocation of land and responsibilities. The number also reflects the relatively small size of the returning community, emphasizing the remnant nature of those who came back to rebuild Jerusalem.
