Study note
Setting — The narrator compiles a sequential census of Jewish exiles returning from Babylon, recording household names and their exact headcounts. This verse marks the seventh entry in that roster.
The words — בְּנֵ֣י (be.Nei) translates literally as "descendants of" and זַכָּ֔י (za.Kai) identifies the clan Zaccai, followed by the numeral 760.
The thread — The identical clan name and count appear in Nehemiah 7:14 as a parallel census record.
Why it lands — The text records specific family lines and their exact numbers within the post-exilic community. It establishes historical accountability and lineage tracking without offering theological commentary.
