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 Azgad, 1,222
Nehemiah 7:17 counts Azgad at 2,322. The difference, 1,100, is the largest anywhere in the lay families of verses 3 to 35. The last two digits, 22, stand the same in both.
