And of the Israelites
This phrase identifies the group of people being addressed. The Israelites were the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel, and were God's chosen people. Historically, they were set apart to be a holy nation, a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19:6). In the context of Ezra, the Israelites had returned from Babylonian exile and were in the process of re-establishing their covenant relationship with God. This phrase underscores the importance of identity and belonging to God's people, reminding us of the call to live in accordance with divine statutes.

Parosh
The name Parosh means "flea" in Hebrew, which might seem insignificant, yet it is included in the sacred text, highlighting that every individual, regardless of perceived importance, has a role in God's plan. Parosh is listed among those who returned from exile (Ezra 2:3), indicating a commitment to restoration and renewal. This serves as a reminder that God values each person and their contribution to the community of faith.

Ramiah
This name can be translated as "Jehovah has loosened" or "Jehovah is exalted." It reflects a theological truth about God's sovereignty and the liberation He provides. Ramiah's inclusion in this list suggests a personal and communal acknowledgment of God's power to free His people from bondage, both physical and spiritual. It inspires believers to trust in God's ability to deliver and exalt those who are faithful.

Izziah
Meaning "Jehovah will shine" or "Jehovah is my strength," Izziah's name speaks to the divine illumination and empowerment that God provides to His people. In the context of Ezra, where the Israelites are seeking to purify themselves and return to God's ways, this name is a testament to the hope and strength found in God's presence. It encourages believers to seek God's light in times of darkness and to rely on His strength in moments of weakness.

Malchijah
This name means "my king is Jehovah," emphasizing the recognition of God's ultimate authority and kingship. Malchijah's presence in the list serves as a reminder of the Israelites' need to submit to God's rule and to align their lives with His will. It challenges modern believers to examine who or what holds the throne in their lives and to reaffirm God's rightful place as King.

Mijamin
The name Mijamin means "from the right hand" or "right hand of favor." Biblically, the right hand symbolizes power, authority, and blessing. Mijamin's inclusion highlights the favor and strength that come from being aligned with God's purposes. It encourages believers to seek God's favor and to act in ways that reflect His righteousness and justice.

Eleazar
Meaning "God has helped," Eleazar's name is a testament to divine assistance and provision. In the narrative of Ezra, where the Israelites are striving to correct their ways and return to God, Eleazar's name is a reminder of God's faithfulness to help those who seek Him. It inspires believers to trust in God's help in overcoming challenges and to remember His past faithfulness as a source of hope.

Malchijah
The repetition of this name in the list may indicate a commonality or shared significance among the people. It reinforces the theme of God's kingship and the importance of recognizing His authority in all aspects of life. This repetition serves as a call to continually acknowledge and submit to God's rule, both individually and collectively.

Benaiah
The name Benaiah means "Jehovah has built" or "Jehovah has established." It reflects the idea of God as the foundation and builder of His people. In the context of rebuilding the community and temple in Jerusalem, Benaiah's name is a powerful reminder of God's role in establishing and sustaining His people. It encourages believers to build their lives on the solid foundation of God's word and to trust in His plans for their future.

Verse 25. - Of Israel. i.e. "of the laity."
