Contextual Overview

5Then my God put into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it: 6These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town, 7accompanied by Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. This is the count of the men of Israel: 8the descendants of Parosh, 2,172; 9the descendants of Shephatiah, 372; 10the descendants of Arah, 652; 11the descendants of Pahath-moab (through the line of Jeshua and Joab), 2,818; 12the descendants of Elam, 1,254; 13the descendants of Zattu, 845; 14the descendants of Zaccai, 760;

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Bigvai: Ezra 2:14, Ezra 2:2, Ezra 2:56

two thousand: One manuscript of Dr. Kennicott's reads "two thousand sixty and six;" but no doubt "two thousand and fifty-six," is the true reading, as in the parallel passage.

Reciprocal: Ezra 8:14 - Bigvai Nehemiah 10:16 - Bigvai
