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 Pahath-moab
Pahath-moab is the largest household named for an ancestor in verses 3 to 20. It came home in two branches, the line of Jeshua and the line of Joab. Nehemiah 7:11 counts 2,818, six more than Ezra.
