Context — The Return from Exilegenerated
Ezra 2:49 is part of a longer list detailing the families and descendants of those who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. This record highlights the significance of lineage and the restoration of the community as they rebuilt their lives and their temple. Such genealogies are crucial for understanding the social and religious structure of post-exilic Israel.

The Key Word — בְּנֵי־, be.nei-generated
The word בֵּן (ben) means 'son' or 'child' and can refer broadly to descendants or posterity. It is a common term used in genealogies to establish family connections, emphasizing the continuity of lineage.
In this verse, it is used in the construct form, indicating a relationship to the names that follow. The repetition of this word underscores the importance of each family line in the context of the returning exiles.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The structure of the verse consists of a main noun phrase, בְּנֵי־ (the descendants of), followed by three proper nouns: עֻזָּ֥א (Uzza), פָסֵ֖חַ (Paseah), and בֵסָֽי (Besai). This arrangement emphasizes the familial connections of each name listed.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the descendants first, establishing their identity before naming the individuals they are descended from.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates בְּנֵי־ as υἱοὶ (huioi), which also means 'sons' or 'children.' This choice reflects a direct connection to the Hebrew meaning and maintains the familial context.
The names עֻזָּ֥א, פָסֵ֖חַ, and בֵסָֽי are rendered similarly, indicating a consistent understanding of these figures in both texts.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

(See 1 Chronicles 9:2.) They were hieroduli, or temple-bondsmen: the lowest order of the ministry, performing the more laborious duties of the sanctuary. Their history runs through a long period. Moses apportioned them first, from the Midianite captives (Numbers 31:47); they were reinforced from the Gibeonites (Joshua 9:23), and probably later by David (Ezra 8:20). Three names—Akkub, Hagab, and Asnah—have dropped from Neheniiah’s list, which gives also some unimportant changes in the spelling of the names.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

The Hebrew word עֻזָּא (Uzza) refers to several individuals and places in the Old Testament, primarily meaning 'strength.' It includes a driver of the ark, a burial site for kings Manasseh and Amon, and names of Benjamites and Levites. Notably, one Uzzah was struck down for touching the ark (2 Samuel 6:3). The entries indicate that Uzza or Uzzah is associated with multiple figures across different contexts.

Strength, a son of Abinadab, in whose house the men of Kirjath-jearim placed the ark when it was brought back from the land of the Philistines (1 Sam. 7:1). He with his brother Ahio drove the cart on which the ark was placed when David sought to bring it up to Jerusalem. When the oxen stumbled, Uzzah, in direct violation of the divine law (Num. 4:15), put forth his hand to steady the ark, and was immediately smitten unto death. The place where this occurred was henceforth called Perez-uzzah (1 Chr. 13:11). David on this feared to proceed further, and placed the ark in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite (2 Sam. 6:2-11; 1…
A son of Abinadab, who fell dead while conducting the ark from Kirjath-jearim towards Jerusalem, 2Sa 6:1-23; 1Ch 13:1-14. In his person God chastised the prevalent irreverence, which was intimated in the rude jolting along of the ark by oxen, exposed both to sight and to touch, while the law required it to be carefully covered by the priests, and then borne by staves on the shoulders of the Levites, who were not to look upon or touch the ark itself on pain of death, Ex 25:14; Nu 4:5,15,19,20. Perhaps Uzzah was not even a Levite. Compare 1Ch 15:2,13.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
