Nehemiah 7:34 meaning and explanation
the descendants of the other Elam, 1,254;
Nehemiah 7:34, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This line comes from the register Nehemiah found and copied, listing the families who had returned from exile in Babylon. The entry repeats the name Elam, already counted at verse 12, so the writer distinguishes two family groups sharing that name, calling this one "the other Elam." Since the same total of 1,254 appears both times, some think one line was duplicated in copying.
