Ezra 2:32 (KJV)

What does Ezra 2:32 mean?

Ezra 2:32 lists a group returning from exile: “The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty.” This means that 320 descendants or members of the family of Harim were counted among those who came back to Judah from Babylon.

This verse is part of a census in the book of Ezra, recording the families and numbers of Israelites who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The list was important for re-establishing the community, showing who belonged to each family group, and confirming their place among the people of Israel.
