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 Zaccai, 760
Nehemiah 7:14 gives Zaccai the same figure, 760. Across verses 3 to 20, Ezra and Nehemiah agree on both name and count for five households, Parosh, Shephatiah, Elam, Zaccai and Ater. The other thirteen differ in name, in count or in both.
