In the narration of the same event in two different verses there exists mathematical error

The List of Returning Exiles
…The whole assembly numbered 42,360, in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 200 male and female singers. Ezra 2:64-65

The List of Returning Exiles
The whole assembly numbered 42,360, in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers. Nehemiah 7:66-67

Is it 200 or 245 male and female singers?

In one group only the men are counted, while in the other group, all members of the assembly (including women and children) are counted.

It is the MEN and not the women who are being counted, unless the women are specifically mentioned as they are in only one verse in both Ezra 2:65 and Nehemiah 7:67.

Only in this one verse in both accounts do we read: "The whole congregation together was 42,360, Beside their servants AND THEIR MAIDS, of whom there were 7,337..."

For God to give only the number of MEN in a group is very common both in the Old and New Testaments. "And the children of Israel journeyed from Ramases to Succoth, about 600,000 on foot that were MEN, BESIDE children." Exodus 12:37

Is this the best that followers of the child rapist prophet can come up with?

See lies from one Christian ooo! And he even ended with an abuse. Why do these guys with Holy spirit always fumbling?
Where can we find this your explanation as you stated it?

There will always be a difference between a religion established by a wise, intelligent and scholarly people and one founded by an illiterate, criminal child rapist!

Even a fool can read where it says at the beginning of both lists found in Nehemiah 7:7 and in Ezra 2:2:

"The number of the MEN (enosh -"men" and not "women" of the people of Israel: The children of Paroah, 2,172" etc.

By comparing one with the other, it becomes obvious that only the MEN were counted in one list while both men and women were counted in the other.

There are numerous examples in the Bible of where men are counted alone:

"the CHILDREN of Azmaveth" Ezra 2:24 are "the MEN of Beth-azmaveth" Nehemiah 7:28; "the CHILDREN OF GIBBAR, 95" of Ezra 2:20 are "the MEN of GIBEON, 95" found in Nehemiah 7:25, and "the CHILDREN of Bethlehem" in Ezra 2:21 are "the MEN of Bethlehem" in Nehemiah 7:26. There are two different Hebrew words used in the two lists. The one is ben #1121 and means "children, or sons" and the other is #582 enoshe which means "men" and not "women". The distinct word for "daughter" is #1323 beth, and the word for woman is #802 eesh-shah, and neither is used in either of the two lists.

Nehemiah 7:7
accompanied by Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. This is the count of the men of Israel
Ezra 2:2
accompanied by Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, and Baanah. This is the count of the men of Israel

Both verses are counting men right? Why tell such brazen lie like this?
