EZRA II.

THIS Chapter reckoneth the number of the Jews that returned out of Captivity, it first nameth the chief Conductors and Princes among the people, and then the several Families and number of Persons; the se∣venth Chapter of Nehemiah hath this Catalogue over again, but with abun∣dance of difference, some reason whereof shall be given there.

The Commanders and Rulers in chief were twelve:

1. Zerubabel the Prince of Judah.
2. Jesus the son of Jozedek the High Priest.
3. Nehemiah, the builder and repairer of Jerusalem afterward.
4. Seraiah, or Azariah as he is called, Neh. 7. 7. probably Ezra, who is called Seraiah after the name of his father.
5. Realiah, called Raamiah, Neh. 7. the difference of the name agreeing in the sence, for Realiah signifieth, The Lords terrour, and Raamiah the Lords thunder.
6. Mordecay, the Uncle of Esther, and over-thrower of Haman.
7. Nachamani, he is mentioned in the Book of Nehemiah, but omitted here: For he came, not up now, but at some other time before Nehemiah taketh his Catalogue.
8. Bilshan.
9. Mispar, or Mispeseth.
10. Bigudi.
11. Rehum, or Nehum.
12. Baanah.

The number of the people was 42360 their servants and maids prosely∣ted, 7337.
