Commentaries on Ezra 2:64

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 64The sum total is given without any variation by Ezra, by Nehemiah (see the marginal reference), and by Esdras (1 Esdras 5:41), who adds, that in this reckoning only those of twelve years of age and upward were counted. It is curious that the total 42,360, is so greatly in excess of the items. Ezra‘s items make the number 29,818; Nehemiah‘s 31,089, Esdras, 33,950. The original document was probably illegible in places, and the writers were forced to make…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 6464. The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore--This gross amount is twelve thousand more than the particular numbers given in the catalogue, when added together, come to. Reckoning up the smaller numbers, we shall find that they amount to 29,818 in this chapter, and to 31,089 in the parallel chapter of Nehemiah [see Ne 7:66-69]. Ezra also mentions four hundred ninety-four persons omitted by Nehemiah, and…Read the comment
