the descendants of Adonikam
The phrase "the descendants of Adonikam" refers to a specific family lineage that returned from the Babylonian exile. The name "Adonikam" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "my lord has arisen" or "the Lord is risen." This name reflects a deep-seated faith and hope in God's sovereignty and deliverance. Historically, the return of the exiles was a fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land, as prophesied by Jeremiah and other prophets. The mention of Adonikam's descendants highlights the importance of family and heritage in Jewish culture, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people through generations.

667
The number "667" represents the count of individuals from the family of Adonikam who returned to Jerusalem. This specific enumeration underscores the meticulous record-keeping and organization that characterized the post-exilic community. It also reflects the broader theme of restoration and rebuilding that is central to the book of Nehemiah. Each number in these genealogical records is a testament to God's faithfulness in preserving His people, even through exile and hardship. The precision of this count serves as a reminder of the value of each individual in God's redemptive plan, illustrating that every person and family has a role in the unfolding account of God's kingdom.
