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.

and the descendants of Senaah, 3,630
Senaah's 3,630 is the largest count in the lay list of verses 3 to 35. Nehemiah 7:38 raises it to 3,930. The difference of 300 is second only to Azgad's in verse 12.
