Study note
Setting — This verse functions as a line item in a post-exilic census register, positioned directly between the family counts of Bebai and Adonikam.
The words — The text identifies the group using בְּנֵ֣י (be.Nei), meaning descendants of, and עַזְגָּ֔ד ('az.Gad), the proper name Azgad.
The thread — The same lineage appears in Nehemiah 7:17 with a recorded count of 2,322, and in Ezra 8:12 as the origin of Johanan son of Hakkatan and 110 accompanying men.
Why it lands — It demands precise attention to household enumeration within a larger administrative return, requiring readers to track exact genealogical records rather than general group identities.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
