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 men of Ramah and Geba, 621
Nehemiah 7:30 gives the same 621 for Ramah and Geba. The pair is one of four entries that count two or three towns under a single figure, with verses 25, 28 and 33.
