Contextual Overview

5Then my God put it into my mind to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be registered by genealogy. I found the genealogical record of those who came back first, and I found the following written in it: 6These are the people of the province who went up among the captive exiles deported by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Each of them returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to his own town. 7They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. 8Parosh’s descendants 2,1729Shephatiah’s descendants 372 10Arah’s descendants 652 11Pahath-moab’s descendants: 12Elam’s descendants 1,254 13Zattu’s descendants 845 14Zaccai’s descendants 760

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 7:8. The children of Parosh — As this chapter is almost entirely the same with the second chapter of the book of Ezra, it is not necessary to add any thing to what is said there; and to that chapter, and the accompanying notes, the reader is requested to refer.
