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 Adin, 454
Nehemiah 7:20 counts Adin at 655. The difference of 201 is the third largest between the two rolls in the lay families of verses 3 to 35, after Azgad and Senaah.
