What does Ezra 2:14 mean?

The children of Bigvai, two thousand fifty and six, constitute a major group among the returnees. Their size indicates notable resources and leadership, helpful for reestablishing settlements. Such a company would provide critical hands for construction and agriculture, and support for temple service through tithes and offerings. Recording them ensures that their role is remembered and that their claims to place and inheritance are recognized. The broader point remains: Israel’s return was composed of many families, some large, some small, all necessary for the nation’s renewed life under God’s law in the land of promise.
