Commentary

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 Nebo, 52

Nehemiah 7:33 gives the same 52. Its heading is the men of the other Nebo, where Ezra writes the descendants of Nebo. Ezra keeps the phrase the other for Elam in verse 31.
