Commentary
2 notes on this verseThis 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 Shephatiah, 372
Nehemiah 7:9 gives the same figure, 372. The two rolls open alike, with Parosh at 2,172 and Shephatiah at 372, and the first difference comes at Arah in the next verse.
