Ezra 2

Ezra 2 records the community that returns from Babylon to Judah. Families, towns, priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, and others are counted because the restored community must know who belongs where. Some priestly claimants cannot prove their genealogy and are temporarily excluded from priestly privileges until the matter can be properly resolved.
