Study note
Setting — Nehemiah documents a census of the Jewish returnees from exile, listing family groups and their headcounts to establish the restored community's composition.
The words — בְּנֵ֣י (be.Nei) translates literally to "[the] descendants of," and זַתּ֔וּא (za.Tu') identifies the founding patriarch of this specific line.
The thread — This same family group appears in Ezra 2:8, where the returning descendants of Zattu are recorded as numbering 945.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to verify tribal continuity and confirm that post-exilic community records were maintained across separate historical accounts.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
