Ezra Chapter 2 1 Matthew Poole's Annotations upon the Holy Bible

Ezra 2:1

Translated Open passage

The number of the people that returned, Ezra 2:1-35; and of the priests, Ezra 2:36-39; of the Levites, Ezra 2:40; of the singers, Ezra 2:41; of the porters, Ezra 2:42; of the Nethinims, Ezra 2:43-54; and of Solomon’s servants, Ezra 2:55-60. Concerning the priests that could not show their pedigree, Ezra 2:61-6:3. The whole number of them and their substance, Ezra 2:64-67. Their oblations, Ezra 2:68-70.

The children of the province, i.e. the Israelites, called the children of the province, either,

  1. Of Babylon, of which province we oft read, as Ezra 7:16 Daniel 2:48 Daniel 3:1,2,30, called the province by way of eminency; of which they are called children, because of their birth and habitation in it for a long time, it being usual to call the inhabitants of any city or place its children. Or rather,

  2. Of Judea, called a province, Ezra 5:8. And he calls it thus emphatically, to mind himself and his brethren of that sad change which their sins had made among them, that from an illustrious, independent, and formidable kingdom, were fallen to be an obscure, servile, and contemptible province, first under the Chaldeans, and now under the Persians. Every one unto his city; either unto those cities or towns which belonged to their several ancestors; or rather, to those which were now allotted to them, and from this time possessed by them. For their former cities were either demolished. or possessed by other persons, which they were not now in a capacity of disturbing.

Ezra Chapter 2 2 Matthew Poole's Annotations upon the Holy Bible

Ezra 2:2

Translated Open passage

As for this catalogue, it differs in some names and numbers from that Ne 7, which might be from divers causes, partly because several names were given to one and the same person; and partly because of the many changes which might happen in the same families between the time of the first making of this catalogue by Ezra, and the making of it anew so many years as that catalogue, Ne 7, was made after the former.

Ezra Chapter 2 3 Matthew Poole's Annotations upon the Holy Bible

Ezra 2:3

Translated Open passage

i.e. The posterity (as that word is for the most part, if not constantly, taken in this catalogue) that descended either from Parosh, or from that family whereof Parosh was the chief. And so for the rest.

Ezra Chapter 2 5 Matthew Poole's Annotations upon the Holy Bible

Ezra 2:5

Translated Open passage

In Nehemiah 7:10, they were only six hundred and fifty-two. It seems seven hundred and seventy-five marched out of Babylon, or gave in their names that they would go; but some of them died, others changed their minds, others were hindered by sickness, or other casualties, happening to themselves or near relations; and so there came only six hundred and fifty-two to Jerusalem. And the like is to be said in the like differences; which it suffices to hint once for all.
