Barnes' Notes

<< Ezra 2:63

Ezra 2:65 >>

Ezra 2:64

The sum total is given without any variation by Ezra, by Nehemiah (see the marginal reference), and by Esdras (1 Esdras 5:41), who adds, that in this reckoning only those of twelve years of age and upward were counted.

It is curious that the total 42,360, is so greatly in excess of the items. Ezra' s items make the number 29,818; Nehemiah' s 31,089, Esdras, 33,950. The original document was probably illegible in places, and the writers were forced to make omissions.
