Ezra 2 records the return from Babylonian exile, and verse 64 gives the total of the whole assembly: 42,360 people. The list that precedes it counts families, towns, priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers and temple servants, so this number gathers the entire community that came back to Jerusalem and Judah under Zerubbabel.
