@Ali Omar,
While the number or total comes just under 30K, between verses 43 and 57, is it possible the delta is in these verses. Second, because the math does not add up, rest assured the total is 42333 as the word of God says.

hello, i added up the math and it says that "the whole congregation was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore" but when i add it up it comes under 30k??? Ezra chap 2 V66 as well as Nehemiah chap 7 V66 same problem there, the math is incorrect

Robby Santiago's Ezra Chapter 2 comment on 5/29/2010, 2:18pm...

Ezra 2:59 but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they [were] of Israel:
is the key verse to help make this long list make sense at least at the end of the book, when the great divorce happens, it shows them divorcing their foreign wives and the children they had with them as well. very sad but this is what God required of them
