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 Bezai, 323
Nehemiah 7:23 counts Bezai at 324, one more than Ezra. Nehemiah also changes the order, setting Hashum at 7:22 before Bezai, where Ezra places Hashum later, after Jorah in verse 19.
