What Does Ezra 2:7 Mean?
The census moves to the children of Elam, numbering one thousand two hundred fifty-four. A second house also called Elam appears later in the list.
The repetition of names across households reminds us how many separate families shared the one hope of return. Each came from its own corner of exile, yet all were drawn by the same promise back to the same city.
