The children of Nebo, fifty and two.
EZRA 2:29KJVWhat does Ezra 2:29 mean?
Ezra 2:29 lists a group returning from exile: “The children of Nebo, fifty and two.” This means that 52 descendants or members of the family or clan associated with Nebo returned to Judah after the Babylonian captivity.
Ezra is recording the names and numbers of families who came back to Jerusalem and Judah when the Persian king allowed the exiles to return. Each group is counted by their ancestral town or family head, and this verse simply notes that 52 people from the group linked to Nebo made the journey home.
