Verse Takeaways

1

A Record of Restoration

While this verse is part of a long list, commentators like Matthew Henry see a deeper meaning. The careful record of each family, including the 112 from Jorah, illustrates a profound spiritual truth: it shows the humbling consequences of sin (exile) and the restoration that comes from righteousness. Each name represents God's faithfulness in bringing His people home.
