The List of Returning Exiles

21 Now these are the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon , and returned to Jerusalem and Judah , each to his 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!
