The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two.
The verse stands in the book of Nehemiah, which is supplemental to Ezra and is counted in the Jewish scriptures as the second book of Ezra. Ezra held the office of priest and Nehemiah held the office of governor, having been cup-bearer to Artaxerxes Longimanus, who gave him permission to return with a colony of Jews in 455 B.C. Together with Ezra, the book gives the history of the Jews during the restoration. The work was bitterly opposed by factions led by Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem, yet God prospered the work of his hands. Nehemiah was ever diligent and ever zealous for God, continually bringing his faithfulness before the Lord and pleading for the Lord's blessing.
The verse is part of the list or numbering of the Jews that records those who returned from captivity. Its immediate setting is the numbering given again after the wall was finished in fifty-two days and officers and watches were appointed, in B.C. 444.
The verse belongs to the Bible narrative of Babylonian life in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah, which discoveries in ancient lands adjoining Israel that had dealings with Israel confirm and illuminate with archaeological information. It illustrates that many Bible verses are lists of people rather than expressed promises. Nehemiah 5-8 is appointed with Matthew 1 as devotional reading for Sabbath, July 4, 1908.
