The Key Word — בְּנֵי־, be.nei-generated
The phrase בְּנֵי־ (be.nei-) translates as 'the descendants of' and indicates a familial relationship. It is a masculine plural construct form of the noun בֵּן (ben), which means 'son' or 'child'. This term is often used in genealogical contexts to denote lineage and inheritance.
In this verse, it shows the connection of these groups to their ancestors and highlights the continuity of the Israelite community. The use of this term reflects the importance of family heritage in the context of returning exiles.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

Sentence Structuregenerated
The structure of this verse consists of a series of noun phrases connected by the finite verb בְּנֵי־ (be.nei-), indicating a list of descendants. The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the names of the groups returning from exile, highlighting their significance.

(See 1 Chronicles 9:2.) They were hieroduli, or temple-bondsmen: the lowest order of the ministry, performing the more laborious duties of the sanctuary. Their history runs through a long period. Moses apportioned them first, from the Midianite captives (Numbers 31:47); they were reinforced from the Gibeonites (Joshua 9:23), and probably later by David (Ezra 8:20). Three names—Akkub, Hagab, and Asnah—have dropped from Neheniiah’s list, which gives also some unimportant changes in the spelling of the names.

These have been identified with the Maonites who oppressed the children of Israel in the days of the Judges (Judges 10:12). It is very possible that the Meunim were leagued with the Moabites and Ammonites against Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20:1). Uzziah obtained the mastery over the Meunim (2 Chronicles 26:7). Very possibly it is the descendants of the Meunim whom Uzziah made prisoners, to whom the verse refers.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text lists the descendants of Asnah, Meunim, and Nephusim as בְּנֵי־ אַסְנָ֥ה בְנֵי־ מְעוּנִ֖ים בְּנֵ֥י נְפוּסִֽים׃. The Septuagint agrees with this text, matching all six words in a word-by-word correspondence, although it presents them in its own sentence structure. There are no significant differences noted among the witnesses for this verse.
בְּנֵי־ אַסְנָ֥ה בְנֵי־ מְעוּנִ֖ים בְּנֵ֥י נְפוּסִֽים׃
6 of the 6 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
The map of this verse — what each word keeps company with
This is a map of two things, both counted rather than judged. Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Hebrew Bible — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance. Built from: the words a word is made out of, taken from its own Strong’s entry. It is not a map of meaning: nothing here claims two words mean the same thing.

בֵּן (ben) means 'son' or 'male child' and encompasses a wide range of meanings, including descendants, young animals, and even figurative uses like sparks or arrows. It can refer to members of a tribe or class and is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, such as in 1 Chronicles 24:26. The word is derived from a root meaning 'to build' and implies a connection to family or lineage.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
