Study note
Setting — Ezra 2:32 appears in a post-exilic census listing returning exiles by family lineage. The text records the number of men from the descendants of Harim who returned to Jerusalem.
The words — The Hebrew phrase בְּנֵי חָרִם (benei Chariym) literally means "sons of Harim," followed by שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת וְעֶשְׂרִים (shelosh me'ot ve'esrim) for three hundred twenty.
The thread — This lineage and its census count appear again in Nehemiah 7:35, while Ezra 10:31–32 later names specific individuals from this same family group.
Why it lands — The verse functions as a documentary record of post-exilic community structure, requiring the reader to track familial continuity across the return from exile.
