323

The number 323 has no well-established or prominent symbolic meaning in biblical or Jewish tradition.

The number 323 does not appear as a specific symbolic number in the Bible or in central Jewish texts. It occurs in Ezra 2:17 as the count of descendants of Beshai who returned from exile in Babylon, but this is part of a census list without any assigned symbolic value. In Jewish numerology (gematria), any number can be linked to Hebrew words with corresponding numerical values, yet 323 has no widely recognized or traditional symbolic role. It is not among the numbers that biblical hermeneutics or rabbinic literature attribute special significance to.

Historia

In Ezra 2 and the parallel chapter Nehemiah 7, the number of returnees from the Babylonian exile is listed by family. The descendants of Besai are counted as 323 in Ezra 2:17 (and 324 in Nehemiah 7:23), a common type of minor discrepancy in census lists.
