The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur,
This entry belongs to the list of families who answered Cyrus's decree and proclamation by going up from Babylonian captivity to Jerusalem, their own land, with Zerubbabel in the first year of Cyrus to rebuild the temple. The returning company of which these families were part numbered 42,360 people. The full list in Ezra 2 records nearly fifty thousand Jews who accepted Cyrus's offer to return.
The first two chapters of Ezra, including this entry, record the beginning of the temple under the decree of Cyrus. That beginning shows the temple was not first begun in 457 B.C.
