This site's exposition

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 Hashum, 223

Nehemiah 7:22 counts Hashum at 328, which is 105 more, and moves the family up to stand before Bezai. Both the count and the order differ between the two rolls.
