the descendants of Jorah
This phrase refers to the lineage or family group associated with an individual named Jorah. In the Hebrew context, the term "descendants" is often translated from the word "בְּנֵי" (benei), which means "sons of" or "children of." This indicates a familial or tribal connection, emphasizing the importance of heritage and lineage in Jewish culture. The name "Jorah" itself is not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, suggesting that this group may not have been prominent in other historical records. However, the inclusion of Jorah's descendants in this list highlights the comprehensive nature of the genealogical records in Ezra, which aimed to document all those returning from the Babylonian exile. This reflects the biblical theme of restoration and the re-establishment of the people of Israel in their homeland, underscoring God's faithfulness in preserving His people through generations.

112
The specific number "112" signifies the count of individuals from the family of Jorah who returned to Jerusalem and Judah from the Babylonian exile. Numbers in biblical texts often carry significance, and while this number does not have a specific symbolic meaning, it represents the precision and care with which the returning exiles were documented. This meticulous record-keeping underscores the importance of each family and individual in the restoration process. It also reflects the broader biblical narrative of God’s attention to detail and His care for each person within the community of believers. The inclusion of such specific numbers in the genealogical records serves as a reminder of the personal nature of God's covenant with His people, where every individual is known and valued.
