The children of Parosh, two thousand
on Ezra 2:3-35
Verses 3 to 35 name family after family by ancestor or by hometown, the pattern Adam Clarke marks in his own notation: children of a person names descendants, children of a place names its former inhabitants. Every count stands as its own witness, since nothing else is known of most of these households beyond the number that came home. John Gill sets the list beside Nehemiah's parallel roll in his seventh chapter and finds the two registers agree in substance though not in every digit, one story kept by two hands.
