Ezr 2:3 The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two.
Ver. 3. The children of Parosh] Question is here made by some, whether this and other like chapters, that are nothing but names and numbers, should be read in course, since they may seem to be of no great use to us? To this Chrysostom answereth, In sacris libris nihil contemnatur aut obiter praetereatur, etiamsi nomina recenseantur, that is, let no part of the Holy Scripture be slighted or skipped over, no, though we meet with nothing but names only. But forasmuch as there is never a leaf, nay, line, nay, letter in God’s book, that is not pure, precious, and profitable, Pro 30:5 Psa 12:6 2Ti 3:16 (the Rabbins have a saying that there is a mountain of sense hanging upon every apex or tittle of the word of God); therefore must we read all, in obedience to him, who hath written for us these excellent things in counsel and knowledge, Pro 22:20, and if anything be yet hid, God shall reveal even this unto us, Php 3:15. Joseph understood not his own dreams at first, till he saw his brethren prostrate before him; then Joseph remembered the dreams that he dreamed of them, Gen 42:9. The disciples conceived not, believed not, many things done by and to their Master, till he was glorified, and they further enlightened, Joh 2:22; Joh 12:6. Surely if Hippocrates could say of medicine, that there was nothing to be accounted little in it, nothing contemptible (ουδεν μικρον, ουδεν καταφρονητεον); how much more may we say the same of divinity and of the Scriptures!

Children. When this term precedes the name of a man, it means his offspring; (ver. 3, 20.) when placed before a city, it denotes the inhabitants, ver. 21, 35. (Calmet) --- The lay Israelites are placed here; then the Levitical tribe; (ver. 36.) the Nathineans, &c., ver. 43. It is very difficult to decide when the names designate places, and when persons.

The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges 1878 · Public Domain 3. The children of Parosh] A strange proper name,…
3. The children of Parosh] A strange proper name, meaning a ‘flea’. A special branch of this family, called after Shechaniah, returned with Ezra (Ezr_8:3). Members of the family are mentioned as having married ‘strange wives’ (Ezr_10:25) and as assisting in the rebuilding of the walls (Neh_3:25).
3–19. Names of households or families. Many of these names occur again in other lists, e.g. Ezr_8:1-14; Ezr_10:18-44; Neh_10:1-27, and in connexion with much later events in the lifetime of Ezra and Nehemiah. These names therefore are not to be regarded as the names of the leading men of the various families who accompanied Zerubbabel, but as the titles of the families or clans into which the people were divided. These titles were probably taken from the founders of the families and were many of them of great antiquity. The mention of the same names of the ‘families’ at the return of Ezra (Ezr_8:1-14) merely shows that, though a certain number of a household had accompanied Zerubbabel, many members of it remained in Babylon, of whom some returned with Ezra, e.g. Parosh, Pahath-moab, Adin, Shephatiah, Elam, Bebai, Azgad, Adonikam, Bigvai, &c., cf. Neh_10:14 ff.

(3) The children of Parosh . . .—Then comes the enumeration of the family and local names. In the following instances we note when two of the three authorities agree. In Ezr_2:6, Ezra is confirmed by 1 Esdras as against Nehemiah’s 2,818; in Ezr_2:8, against his 945; in Ezr_2:11, against his 628; in Ezr_2:15, against his 655; in Ezr_2:17, against his 324; in Ezr_2:33, against his 721. In Ezr_2:10, the children of Bani, or Binnui, are 642, but 1 Esdras agrees with Nehemiah in making them 648; in Ezr_2:14, the two latter correct 666 into 667.—In Ezr_2:20, heads of families become places; Nehemiah substitutes Gibeon for Gibbar. Ezr_2:30 has no representative in Nehemiah. In Ezr_2:31, “the other Elam” has the same number as Elam in Ezr_2:7; and the Nebo of Ezr_2:29 is called in Nehemiah “the other Nebo,” though the only one, as if the “other” had slipped in from what in Nehemiah is found in the next verse. In a few cases all the authorities differ, but the differences are not important.

2:3-20 The family of: In the ancient Near East, an individual’s identity was closely connected to the question, “Who are your father and your family?” Ultimately, the priests were identified as the sons of Aaron. If this link could not be verified, they were barred from service (2:61-62). Others were identified by a well-known elder in their group.
