Ezra 2:23

of Anathoth 128
Cyrus had permitted the return of captives in Babylon of people whose families had been originally from the land around Jerusalem. But it was not simply a swarm of migrants. A careful census had been maintained in Babylon, and people knew to what clan and people they belonged. The names of those who had returned were maintained in the family records and the number from each family was recorded here. People knew who from their family group had joined the migration back and the people going back knew why they were going. The order in which it was all done would make especially hard the confusion and resistance and opposition the people faced when they did get there. Each returnee faced his own spiritual battle with discouragement. Nehemiah would serve to keep the focus on what was actually being accomplished behind the scenes by Jesus.
