📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of a detailed census list in Ezra chapter 2, recording the Jewish families and groups who returned from Babylonian exile around 538 BC under Cyrus's decree. These particular names represent temple servants (Nethinim) who assisted the priests and Levites in temple duties. The careful recording of these names shows how important every person was in rebuilding Jerusalem and restoring proper worship.
