Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 2:63
The Tirshatha - This is generally supposed to be Nehemiah, or the person who was the commandant; see Nehemiah 8:9 ; Nehemiah 10:1 , for the word appears to be the name of an office. The Vulgate and Septuagint write it Atershatha, the Syriac and Arabic render it the princes of Judah. Some suppose the word to be Persian, but nothing like it of the same import occurs in that language at present. If, as Castel supposed, it signifies austerity, or that fear which is unpressed by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 2:1
These are the children of the province. i.e. of Judaea, which was a province of Persia, distinguished here from Babylon, which was one of the capitals—a mode of speech indicating the foreign standpoint of Ezra. Unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city. Jerusalem was not the only site occupied by the people on their return. Many took up their abodes in the neighbouring towns and villages, such as Jericho, Tekoah, Gibeon, Mizpah, Zanoah, etc. (see Nehemiah 3:2-19 , and ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 2:1-2
The restoration of Israel. This is an important subject. Great portion of Scripture occupied with it. Events of the utmost moment connected with it. I. AS THE SCATTERING OF ISRAEL WAS GRADUAL , SO MAY HIS GATHERING BE . 1. His tribes became distributed into two kingdoms. 2 . The ten tribes were first carried captive by the Assyrians. This was in two detachments. 3. The Jews were afterwards carried away to Babylon. This was 130 years later,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 2:1-67
The muster-roll. The last chapter gave us a catalogue of the sacred vessels returned. In that portion of the present chapter which concludes with the above verses we have a similar catalogue of the sacred people returned (see Lamentations 4:2 ). The first verse seems to show us where this catalogue was made out, viz; in the land of their exile, where Judaea was constantly spoken of as "the province" (comp. Ezra 5:8 ; Nehemiah 1:3 ; Nehemiah 11:3 ). If the nearly identical... read more
