Ezra 2:65 - Exposition

Two hundred singing men and singing women . Nehemiah says two hundred and forty-five , and so the apocryphal Esdras. Perhaps, in the great default of Levites, the services of these persons may have been used to swell the sacred choruses of the time ( Ezra 3:10 ). Hence, it may be, the mention of this otherwise unimportant fact.
