Commentary

Matthew Henry on Ezra 2:1-35

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezra 2:5

children of Arah, seven hundred seventy and five--The number is stated in Neh 7:10 to have been only six hundred fifty-two. It is probable that all mentioned as belonging to this family repaired to the general place of rendezvous, or had enrolled their names at first as intending to go; but in the interval of preparation, some died, others were prevented by sickness or insurmountable obstacles, so that ultimately no more than six hundred fifty-two came to Jerusalem.

Adam Clarke on Ezra 2:21

The children of Beth-lehem - The inhabitants: see before.

John Gill on Ezra 2:3

The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred and seventy two. From hence, to the end of Ezra 2:35, a list is given of the captives that returned, described by the families they were of, their ancestors from whence they sprung, or the towns and cities to which they originally belonged, and by their numbers; otherwise nothing more of them is known.
