The name "Jorah" is not widely known outside of this context, suggesting that this family may not have been prominent in other biblical narratives. The listing of families in <a href="/ezra/2.htm">Ezra 2</a> highlights the importance of genealogical records for the returning exiles, emphasizing their connection to the land and their heritage as part of God's chosen people. This reflects the broader biblical theme of restoration and continuity of God's promises to Israel.<p><b>112;</b><br>The number "112" indicates the count of individuals from the family of Jorah who returned. This specific number underscores the precision and care with which the records were kept, reflecting the importance of each family and individual in the restoration process. The detailed census in <a href="/ezra/2.htm">Ezra 2</a> parallels the earlier censuses in the books of Numbers, where the Israelites were counted before entering the Promised Land. This connection highlights the theme of a new beginning for the Israelites as they return to rebuild the temple and reestablish their community in the land given to them by God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jorah.htm">Jorah</a></b><br>Jorah is listed as the head of a family or clan among the Israelites returning from Babylonian exile.
