Study note
Setting — Nehemiah records a census of returning exiles, listing families and their headcounts in a formal register.
The words — בְּנֵ֣י (be.Nei) = descendants of; בֵצָ֔י (ve.Tzai) = Bezai; the text records their exact numerical total as three hundred twenty-four.
The thread — This family and its headcount appear in the parallel returnee list at Ezra 2:17, which records three hundred twenty-three.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to treat each named family as a documented member of the restored covenant community, leaving no individual outside the official record.
