The Key Word — עֶ֖בֶד, 'E.vedgenerated
The name עֶ֖בֶד ('E.ved) means 'servant' or 'worshiper.' It highlights the role of service, which is significant in the context of returning to Jerusalem and rebuilding the community. The parsing as a noun proper masculine indicates that it refers to a specific individual, Ebed, who is named in this verse.
Ebed's role as a servant can be seen in the broader context of the returning exiles, where the act of returning itself is an act of servitude to God and the community. The name suggests a dedication to service, which is a recurring theme in the narratives of the 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 finite verb structure is implied rather than explicit, with the main focus on the noun phrases that describe the subjects and their relationships. The phrase וּמִבְּנֵ֣י (u.mi.be.Nei) introduces the descendants, while וְעִמּ֖וֹ (ve.'i.Mo) connects Ebed with the men accompanying him.
The structure emphasizes the familial ties and the collective nature of the return, with Ebed's lineage highlighted as part of the broader community effort.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint uses υἱῶν (huion) for 'descendants,' which aligns with the Hebrew meaning but may suggest a broader interpretation of lineage. This choice reflects the translators' intent to connect the descendants to their heritage.
The name עֶ֖בֶד is rendered as ωβηθ in the Septuagint, indicating a focus on the role of Ebed as a servant, which is consistent with the Hebrew meaning.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ezra 8:6 lists the descendants of Adin, specifically naming Ebed, the son of Jonathan, and noting that he returned with 50 men. This highlights the importance of family and community in the return from exile.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Ebed is a descendant of Jonathan, and his name means 'servant' or 'worshiper,' indicating his role in the community.
The number 50 indicates the size of Ebed's group, showing the collective effort of families returning from exile.
Lineage is significant as it emphasizes the continuity of families and their roles in the restoration of the Jewish community.
This verse connects to the broader narrative by illustrating the organized return of exiles and the emphasis on family heritage in rebuilding Jerusalem.

It can refer to members of a tribe or class and is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, such as in 1 Chronicles 24:26.

ov:
(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.

עָדִין (Adiyn) refers to a personal name associated with two Israelites during the Exile and Return period. It is glossed as meaning 'dainty' or 'delicate' and is linked to a family of exiles who returned with Zerubbabel and a chief who signed the covenant with Nehemiah.

a'-din (`adhin, "adorned"): The name of a family, "the sons of Adin" (Ezr 2:15; 8:6; Ne 7:20; 10:16; 1 Esdras 5:14; 8:32), mentioned among the returning exiles. The list in Ezr 2 is placed in the midst of the narrative concerning Zerubbabel, but its title and Its contents show that it also includes the later Jewish immigrants into Palestine. The list in Ne 7 is a duplicate of that in Ezr, but with variations; most of the variations are naturally accounted for by supposing that one copy was made later than the other and was brought up to date. In Ezr and 1 Esdras the number of the sons of Adin is said to be 454; in Ne it is 655. The 50 males, led by Ebed the son of Jonathan, who came with Ezr, may or may not have been included in the numbers just mentioned. Among the names of those…
