Notes

Ezra 2:64–66

42,360: This number might include children, as it does not match the 28,774 people listed in Ezra 2:3–42.
The large number of servants and animals indicates that some of the Jews who returned were wealthy.

Ezra 2:1–70

This chapter is Ezra's first major digression from the main story. The returning exiles needed to identify true Jews to maintain their community identity and theological purity. This helped them know whom they could marry and who could worship at the temple. This list is not the initial list of all Jews who returned to Jerusalem (compare Nehemiah 7:6–73). Instead, it is a slightly later list, created after Sheshbazzar died, of people who had settled in their towns.
