Study note
Setting — Ezra records the names of Israelite men from the clan of Parosh who are listed among those separating from foreign wives. The passage functions as a genealogical ledger inserted between lists of temple servants and other tribal descendants.
The words — The text highlights פַרְעֹ֡שׁ (Parosh), identifying the specific ancestral clan, and יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל (Yisra'el), denoting the broader national identity. These terms anchor the seven listed names within the restored community's structure.
The thread — The descendants of Parosh appear earlier in Ezra 2:3 and Nehemiah 7:8, where their total returning population is recorded as 2,172. These parallel lists confirm the clan's documented presence among the exiles.
Why it lands — The verse demands recognition of individual accountability within a corporate covenant. Readers must see how specific names are preserved to verify obedience and lineage in the post-exilic restoration.
