Ezra 2:52 (KJV)

What does Ezra 2:52 mean?

Ezra 2:52 lists three family groups—Bazluth, Mehida, and Harsha—who were among those returning from exile to Jerusalem. The verse is part of a larger census that records the names of families and individuals who came back to Judah after the Babylonian captivity.

This verse appears in a long list where Ezra, the writer, is documenting the people who returned from Babylon to rebuild their lives in Jerusalem and Judah. The list shows the continuity of the community by naming specific families, emphasizing the importance of each group in re-establishing the nation after exile.
