The names listed belong to the company gathered in Jerusalem after the wall had been rebuilt. They stood among the people when Ezra and the Levites opened and explained the law of God. Instruction from the Scriptures was joined with solemn worship of the Lord by the whole assembly. The record preserves their place in that work of repentance, covenant renewal, and adoration.
