Commentary on Ezra 2:65
Additional count: 'Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven.' Including servants shows the total community was nearly 50,000. The servants' inclusion demonstrates that the restoration community wasn't exclusively ethnic Israel but included those economically connected. The distinction between primary returnees and servants maintains social categories while including both in the counted community.
