Ezra 2:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Seven hundred, &c. In Nehemiah 7:10, they were only six hundred and fifty-two; it seems seven hundred and seventy-five marched out of Babylon, but some of them died, others were hindered by sickness or other casualties, and so there came only six hundred and fifty-two to Jerusalem. And the like is to be said in the like differences; which it suffices to hint once for all.

Ezra 2:5

5 The children of Arah, seven hundred seventy and five.
