Commentaries on Ezra 2:2
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2Which came with Zerubbabel - There are many difficulties in this table of names; but as we have no less than three copies of it, that contained here from Ezra 2:1-67, a second in Nehemiah 7:6-69, and a third in 1 Esdras 5:7-43, on a careful examination they will be found to correct each other. The versions also, and the Variae Lectiones of Kennicott and De Rossi, do much toward harmonizing the names. Though the sum total at the end of each of these…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2Jeshua, a variant spelling of Joshua, son of Jehozadak (Ezra 3:2, 8), from Aaron's lineage, was the high priest (Haggai 1:1; Zechariah 3:1). The Nehemiah mentioned here is not the one who later built Jerusalem's walls. This Mordecai is not the famous relative of Esther.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 22. Which came with Zerubbabel--He was the chief or leader of the first band of returning exiles. The names of other influential persons who were associated in the conducting of the caravans are also mentioned, being extracted probably from the Persian archives, in which the register was preserved: conspicuous in the number are Jeshua, the high priest, and Nehemiah.Read the comment
