The List of Returning Exiles

21 Now these are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his own city.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezra 2:1

Commentary on Ezra 2:1-35

(Read Ezra 2:1-35)

An account was kept of the families that came up out of captivity. See how sin lowers a nation, which righteousness would exalt!
