Ezra 2 Introduction

Translated Open passage

Chap. 2. The Register of the Return

Chap. 2. contains the register or list of those who returned to Jerusalem, with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and their companions. The register gives the names in the following order, (1) ‘the men of the people of Israel’ (3–35), (2) the Priests (36–39), (3) the Levites, Singers, Porters, Nethinim, ‘children of the servants of Solomon’ (40–58), (4) miscellaneous (59–63), (5) the sum total, &c. (64–67).

The same list is to be found in Nehemiah 7:6-73, and 1Es 5:7-45. Certain variations occur both in the names and in the figures, the most important of which will come under notice in the following notes.

Ezr 2:1-70.

Translated Open passage

Ezr 2:1-70.

NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE THAT TURNED.

1. children of the province--that is, Judea

(Ezr 5:8),

so called as being now reduced from an illustrious, independent, and powerful kingdom to an obscure, servile, tributary province of the Persian empire. This name is applied by the sacred historian to intimate that the Jewish exiles, though now released from captivity and allowed to return into their own land, were still the subjects of Cyrus, inhabiting a province dependent upon Persia.

came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city--either the city that had been occupied by his ancestors, or, as most parts of Judea were then either desolate or possessed by others, the city that was rebuilt and allotted to him now.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Ezra 2:1

Translated Open passage

The province - Judaea was no longer a kingdom, but a mere "province" of Persia. "The children of the province" are the Israelites who returned to Palestine, as distinct from those who remained in Babylonia and Persia.

Every one unto his city - That is, to the city whereto his forefathers had belonged. Of course, in the few cases where this was not known Ezra 2:59-62, the plan could not be carried out.

Two other copies of the following list have come down to us - one in Nehemiah 7:7-69, and the other in 1 Esdras 5:8-43. All seem to have been taken from the same original document, and to have suffered more or less from corruption. Where two out of the three agree, the reading should prevail over that of the third.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Ezra 2:1

Translated Open passage

These are the children of the province - That is, of Judea; once a kingdom, and a flourishing nation; now a province, subdued, tributary, and ruined! Behold the goodness and severity of God! Some think Babylon is meant by the province; and that the children of the province means those Jews who were born in Babylon. But the first is most likely to be the meaning, for thus we find Judea styled, Ezra 5:8. Besides, the province is contradistinguished from Babylon even in this first verse, The children of the province - that had been carried away unto Babylon.
