Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezra 2:5
The children of Arah, seven hundred seventy and five.
In Neh 7:10, they were only six hundred and fifty-two. It seems seven hundred and seventy-five marched out of Babylon, or gave in their names that they would go; but some of them died, others changed their minds, others were hindered by sickness, or other casualties, happening to themselves or near relations; and so there came only six hundred and fifty-two to Jerusalem. And the like is to be said in the like differences; which it suffices to hint once for all.

5. children of Arah, seven hundredseventy and fiveThe number is stated in Ne7:10 to have been only six hundred fifty-two. It is probable thatall mentioned as belonging to this family repaired to the generalplace of rendezvous, or had enrolled their names at first asintending to go; but in the interval of preparation, some died,others were prevented by sickness or insurmountable obstacles, sothat ultimately no more than six hundred fifty-two came to Jerusalem.
