Commentary

Matthew Henry on Ezra 2:1-35

We may observe here, 1. That an account was kept in writing of the families that came up out of captivity, and the numbers of each family.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezra 2:23

The men of Anathoth--It is pleasant to see so many of this Jewish town returning. It was a city of the Levites; but the people spurned Jeremiah's warning and called forth against themselves one of his severest predictions (Jer 32:27-35). This prophecy was fulfilled in the Assyrian conquest. Anathoth was laid waste and continued a heap of ruins. But the people, having been brought during the captivity to a better state of mind, returned, and their city was rebuilt.

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.
