The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five.
The register lists 845 descendants of Zattu returning from exile to Jerusalem with the Jewish exiles during the restoration, as part of the remnant of Israel who came back and dwelt in their cities. That numbering was given again after the wall was finished in fifty-two days and proper officers and watches were appointed, in B.C. 444. The entry belongs to the narrative of Babylonian life in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah, which is confirmed by discoveries in ancient lands adjoining Israel that had dealings with Israel.
