This Elam entry refers to the return-era family or clan represented in Ezra and Nehemiah, not the nation of Elam. It appears in restoration records and in the painful reform lists dealing with intermarriage. First appears in Ezra 2:7.1
AI summary: This Elam matters because the cross references place the name within the lived reality of return, rebuilding, and reform after exile. The family is counted among those who come back, appears again in later lists, and is also implicated in the community's struggle for covenant fidelity. The name therefore belongs to both restoration and repentance. Taken together, the material presents this Elam as a return-era family whose record reflects the mixed realities of rebuilding the people of God.1
