7:6

אֵלֶּה ׀ בְּנֵי הַמְּדִינָה הָעֹלִים מִשְּׁבִי הַגּוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר הֶגְלָה נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיָּשׁוּבוּ לִֽירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וְלִיהוּדָה אִישׁ לְעִירֽוֹ׃

These are the men of the land [(Eretz Yisrael)] who went up from the captivity of the exile, where they were exiled by Nevuchadnezzar king of Bavel. And they returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city.

הַבָּאִים עִם־זְרֻבָּבֶל יֵשׁוּעַ נְחֶמְיָה עֲזַרְיָה רַֽעַמְיָה נַחֲמָנִי מׇרְדֳּכַי בִּלְשָׁן מִסְפֶּרֶת בִּגְוַי נְחוּם בַּעֲנָה מִסְפַּר אַנְשֵׁי עַם יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {ס}

Rashi

הבאים עם זרובבל. אשר באו משבי הגולה עם זרובבל:

who came with Zerubbabel who came from the captivity of the exile with Zerubbabel.

ישוע. הוא יהושע בן יהוצדק הכהן הגדול חשבונות הללו פעמים הם מכוונים עם חשבונות של מעלה פעמים יש שאינם מכוונים זה כנגד זה ולא דקדק המקרא בחשבונות כל כך אבל הכלל שוה (עיין בעזרא סי' ב' פ"ב וצ"ע יוש"ה) לכאן ולכאן שנאמר כל הקהל כאחד וגו' ועל זה הכלל סמך כותב הספר ולא דקדק בחשבון הפרטיות כל כך והכל מפורש למעלה:

Jeshua This is Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the High Priest. These figures sometimes coincide with the above figures (Ezra 2); sometimes there are some that do not coincide. Scripture was not so exact with the figures, but the total is the same in both places, as it is stated (Ezra 2:64, Neh. 7:66): “The entire congregation together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty.” The writer relied on this total and was not so exact in the figures of the individual numbers. Everything is explained above (Ezra 2).
