STEPBible TIPNR
Bezai was the ancestor of a group of people who returned to Jerusalem from the Babylonian captivity (Ezr. 2:17; Neh. 7:23). According to the records, 323 individuals from Bezai's family were among those who made the journey back to their homeland. The return of the exiles to Jerusalem was a significant event in Jewish history, as it marked the beginning of the restoration of their religious and cultural identity after decades of captivity in Babylon. The mention of Bezai and the number of his descendants highlights the importance of family lineage and the preservation of ancestral records among the returning exiles.
