📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of Nehemiah's detailed census of the Jewish families who returned from Babylonian exile around 538-445 BC. The Babylonians had conquered Jerusalem and taken many Jews captive decades earlier, but now the Persian Empire allowed them to return home. Nehemiah carefully recorded each family group to establish proper citizenship and organize the massive rebuilding project of Jerusalem's walls and temple.
