Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 2:2
Verse 2. Which came with ZerubbHebel] There are many difficulties in this table of names; but as we have no less than three copies of it, that contained here from ver. 1-67, a second in Neh. vii. 6-69, and a third in 1Esdras v. 7-43, on a careful examination they will be found to correct each other. The versions also, and the Variae Lectiones of Kennicott and Deuteronomy Rossi, do much toward harmonizing the names. Though the sum total at the end of each of these enumerations is equal, namely 42, 360, yet the particulars reckoned up make in Ezra only 29, 818, and in Nehemiah 31, 089. We find that Nehemiah mentions 1765 persons which are not in Ezra, and Ezra has 494 not mentioned by Nehemiah. Mr. Alting thinks that this circumstance, which appears to render all hope of reconciling them impossible, is precisely the very point by which they can be reconciled; for if we add Ezra's surplus to the sum in Nehemiah, and the surplus of Nehemiah to the number in Ezra, the numbers will be equal.
Thus:-The number in Ezra 29, 818 Surplus in Nehemiah. 1, 765 Sum total 31, 583 The number in Nehemiah 31, 089 The surplus in Ezra 494 Sum total 31, 583 If we subtract this sum 31, 583 from 42, 360, we shall have a deficiency of 10, 777 from the numbers as summed up in the text; and these are not named here, either because their registers were not found, or they were not of Judah and Benjamin, the tribes particularly concerned, but of the other Israelitish tribes; see ver. 36.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. Which came with Zerubbabel , etc.] The head of them, the prince of Judah; and the chief that came with him are the ten following; Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah; the first of these, Jeshua, was Joshua the high priest, the son of Josedech, ( Haggai 1:1). Dr. Lightfoot thinks that Nehemiah is the same, whose name the following book bears; and that Mordecai is he who was uncle to Esther, so Aben Ezra; but, if so, they must both return again; for that Nehemiah came to Jerusalem in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes, ( Nehemiah 1:1), and that Mordecai brought up his niece in the city of Shushan, in the times of Ahasuerus, is certain; and this, with respect to both, is denied by others f19 , who take them to be different men of the same name; and the same writer is of opinion that Seraiah, and who is called Azariah, ( Nehemiah 7:7) is the same with Ezra, who therefore must and did return, since he went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes, ( Ezra 7:1,7,8), as for the others, we know nothing more of them than their names: the number of the men of the people of Israel ; either of the principal of them before named, or of the common people, which next follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-35 - An account was kept of the families that came up out of captivity. Se how sin lowers a nation, which righteousness would exalt!
