Zechariah's role as gatekeeper continues the enumeration of post-exilic gatekeeping personnel and their genealogical verification. The genealogical documentation of Zechariah and other gatekeepers indicates the importance of maintaining records of all temple personnel. The enumeration of gatekeepers by genealogy demonstrates the systematic approach to post-exilic temple organization. The detailed genealogical recording of gatekeepers indicates the theological conviction that all temple functions depended on genealogical verification. The careful enumeration of gatekeeper genealogy contributes to the comprehensive genealogical portrait of the post-exilic restoration community.
