Nehemiah 7:16-20: in context

This is a fragment of the long register Nehemiah copied out, the roll of those who came back from exile, family by family, with their numbers. The sons of Bebai, six hundred twenty-eight; the sons of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty-two; the sons of Adonikam, six hundred sixty-seven; and so on, a ledger of exactly how many of each clan returned to rebuild.

A page of numbers seems the least spiritual thing imaginable, and yet there is something to see in it. These figures are the counted remnant, the actual, specific people who left the relative comfort of Babylon to come back to a broken city and start over. God did not deal in a vague mass; the returnees were numbered, clan by clan, each family's count preserved because each family mattered. The census is a quiet insistence that God's people are not an anonymous crowd but a countable, known community, every household accounted for. Scripture repeatedly numbers God's people, not out of pride like David's sinful census, but because the good shepherd knows the size of his flock and does not lose track of them. Behind the dry arithmetic is a God who counts, who knows exactly how many came home and from which family, who does not deal in generalities when it comes to his people. The tally that looks tedious is really a record that these particular families answered the call to return, and were counted.

Do I imagine I am lost in an anonymous crowd before God, when scripture shows a God who counts his people family by family and loses track of none?
