Their offerings the descendants of Elam The mention of "the descendants of Elam" refers to one of the families or clans that returned from the Babylonian exile to Jerusalem. Elam is a name that appears multiple times in the Bible, and it can refer to different individuals or groups. In this context, it likely refers to a family or clan that was part of the Jewish community in exile. The return of these descendants signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land. This group is also mentioned in Ezra 2:7, indicating their importance in the post-exilic community. The name Elam itself may have connections to the ancient region of Elam, located east of Babylon, though in this context, it is more likely a personal or family name. 1254 Persons / Places / Events 1.
