The men of Ramah and Geba
This phrase identifies the inhabitants of two distinct towns, Ramah and Geba, which were part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. The Hebrew root for "Ramah" means "height" or "high place," indicating its geographical elevation. Ramah holds historical significance as a site of prophetic activity, notably associated with the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 7:17). Geba, meaning "hill," was a Levitical city (Joshua 21:17) and a strategic military location during the reign of King Saul (1 Samuel 13:3). The mention of these towns underscores the restoration of the Benjamite community post-exile, highlighting God's faithfulness in re-establishing His people in their ancestral lands.

621
This number represents the count of men from Ramah and Geba who returned from the Babylonian exile. Numerically, it signifies the tangible fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people back to their homeland (Jeremiah 29:10-14). The precision of this count reflects the meticulous record-keeping of Nehemiah's time, emphasizing the importance of each individual in the collective restoration of Israel. It serves as a reminder of the value God places on community and the role each person plays in the unfolding of His divine plan. The return of these 621 men symbolizes hope and renewal, as they contribute to the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the re-establishment of worship according to the Law of Moses.
