the descendants of Parosh, 2,172
on Ezra 2:3-35
Verses 3 to 35 name family after family. Adam Clarke notes the pattern: a person's name marks descendants, and a place name marks its former inhabitants. John Gill sets the list beside the parallel roll in Nehemiah 7 and finds the two agree in substance while differing in some numbers.
This site's exposition
the descendants of Bebai, 623
Nehemiah 7:16 counts the descendants of Bebai at 628, five more. Across the families and towns, Nehemiah's number is the higher in eleven of the fifteen places where the two differ. Albert Barnes totals the items at 31,089 in Nehemiah and 29,818 in Ezra, against the whole assembly of 42,360.
