the men of
This phrase indicates a specific group of individuals, emphasizing their identity and collective nature. In the context of the return from Babylonian exile, "the men of" signifies those who are part of a distinct community or lineage. Historically, this reflects the importance of tribal and familial connections in ancient Israelite society, where identity was often tied to one's family or place of origin.

the other Elam
The mention of "the other Elam" suggests a distinction from another group or location known as Elam. Elam was an ancient civilization located in what is now southwestern Iran. In the context of Ezra, this likely refers to a group of exiles who had settled in a region associated with Elam during the Babylonian captivity. The use of "other" implies there were multiple groups or settlements linked to Elam, highlighting the dispersion and diverse origins of the returning exiles. This reflects the broader narrative of restoration and the gathering of God's people from various places.

1,254
The specific number "1,254" underscores the precision and care with which the returning exiles were recorded. This enumeration reflects the importance of each individual in the collective effort to rebuild the community and the temple in Jerusalem. In a broader theological sense, it emphasizes God's attention to detail and His care for each member of His people. The listing of numbers throughout Ezra serves as a testament to the fulfillment of God's promises and the tangible reality of the restoration process.
