The Key Word — בֶּן, ben-generated
The word בֵּן (ben) means 'son' or 'descendant.' It is a common noun used to indicate familial relationships, including sons, grandsons, and even broader connections like tribes or nations. In this verse, it is used to denote Ezra's descent from his ancestors.
The parsing indicates that בֵּן is a masculine singular noun in construct form, which means it is directly linked to the names that follow, showing lineage and inheritance. This word is foundational in genealogies throughout the Old Testament.
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 consists of a main clause introduced by the finite verb בֶּן, son of, which governs the subsequent noun phrases that detail Ezra's ancestry. The genealogy lists several generations, emphasizing the connections between them.
Each phrase follows the pattern of בֶּן followed by a name, creating a rhythmic and clear lineage that establishes Ezra's priestly heritage.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint uses the Greek word υἱοῦ to translate בֶּן. This choice reflects a direct equivalence, maintaining the familial connection inherent in the Hebrew term.
The use of υἱοῦ in the Septuagint emphasizes the same concept of sonship and lineage, which is critical for understanding Ezra's position within the priestly line.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ezra 7:4 lists Ezra's lineage, showing he is the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, and the son of Bukki. This genealogy is important because it establishes Ezra's priestly credentials as he leads the people back from Babylon.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

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.

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…
