This may seem like a boring list of names, but in this 7th chapter of Nehemiah we find several things. First, something very important to God that we all can do. Second, that people maintained their call from God despite a lack of opportunity to operate in that call. Third, reasons why some of the priest lacked proof of their priestly linage AND how that corresponds to us today. And Forth, something missing from this list of people involved in the work that we often include today. There is more, but hopefully this gets you interested.
