The Key Word — בֵּן, be.nei-generated
The word בֵּן (ben) means 'son' or 'descendant' and is used here to denote familial lineage. It can refer not only to a direct son but also to broader descendants, emphasizing the importance of family connections in Israelite society.
In this verse, it appears in the construct form, indicating a possessive relationship, which translates to 'the descendants of.' This usage underscores the continuity of family lines among those returning from exile.
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 main structure of the verse consists of a series of noun phrases connected by the finite verb 'are understood' (implied). Each noun phrase begins with בְּנֵי־ (be.nei-), indicating the descendants of each individual mentioned.
The repetition of בְּנֵי־ emphasizes the collective identity of these families as part of the community returning to Jerusalem.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew בֵּן is rendered as υἱοὶ (huioi), meaning 'sons.' This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning and maintains the familial connection.
The names Gazzam, Uzza, and Paseah are also transliterated, indicating the translators' intent to preserve the original names and their significance.

Read Robert Jamieson on Nehemiah 7 →Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5-73) The genealogical reckoning of the people, as the first step towards increasing the population of the metropolis, is determined on, not without express Divine suggestion; the allusion to this inspiration from God, is, as in Nehemiah 2:12, very emphatic. The original register of Zerubbabelis found and copied. The express language of both Ezra and Nehemiah makes it plain that this is no other than the list of those who came up with Zerubbabel and Joshua after the decree of Cyrus, in B.C. 538. Nehemiah’s own census follows, in Nehemiah 11. The exposition, especially as compared with Ezra 2, has been given on that chapter.

(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.

גַּזָּם (Gazzam) refers to a man mentioned in the context of the Exile and Return, specifically as the head of a family of temple slaves returning with Zerubbabel. The name is associated with the meaning 'devourer' and is linked to the Hebrew root of a similar word. It appears in Ezra 2:48.

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).

Uzzah
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.
