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 men of Jericho, 345

Nehemiah 7:36 gives Jericho the same 345. Nehemiah places Jericho one entry earlier, before Lod, Hadid and Ono. In Ezra the descendants of Senaah follow and close the lay list.
