Why It Needs Context
This line performs one particular step inside Nehemiah 7:8–7:38; read it with the unit's movement. Many figures and some names differ from Ezra 2 and ancient witnesses; the package preserves Nehemiah's KJV form rather than silently harmonizing. Specifically, this verse counts Hariph's descendants at 112.
