Ezra 2:21

The men ¹  of Bethlehem: ²  123;

the men of Bethlehem 123

the men of Bethlehem, 123;

The people of Bethlehem, 123.

Israelites identified by place of origin were as follows: Bethlehem, 123

The children of Beth-lehem, a hundred and twenty-three.

Of Bethlehem, one hundred twenty-three.

the people of Bethlehem, one hundred and twenty–three;

The men ¹  of Bethlehem: ²  123;

¹ tc The translation follows the suggestion in BHS and reads אַנְשֵׁי (’anshe, “the men of”) here rather than the reading בְּנֵי (bÿne, “the sons of”) found in the MT. So also in vv. 25, 26, 33, 34.
