[2,067.]

[Kirjath-jearim.]

[Michmash.]

2:28

Ai <05857> [Ai.]

[Hai.]

[133.]

2:29

Nebo <05015> [Nebo.]

This Nebo was probably the Nabau which Eusebius and Jerome place eight miles south from Hebron.

2:30

Magbish <04019> [Magbish. i.e., congregating; crystallizing.]

<\\See definition 04019\\>. The children of Magbish are not named in our present copies of Nehemiah; but the Alexandrian MS. of the LXX. has the same reading as here.

2:31

Elam <05867> [Elam.]

2:32

Harim <02766> [Harim.]

2:33

Lod <03850> [Lod.]

Hadid <02307> [Hadid. or, Harid, as it is in some copies.]

Hadid is probably the Adida of Josephus, and the Maccabees, (1 Mac 12:38; 13:13,) a city situated on a hill in the plain country of Judah, and the Aditha of Eusebius, which he places near Diospolis, Lydda, or Lod.

2:34

Jericho <03405> [Jericho.]

2:35

Senaah <05570> [Senaah.]

[Hodevah.]

2:41

2:42

gatekeepers <07778> [the porters.]

[138.]

2:43

temple servants <05411> [Nethinims.]

Hasupha <02817> [Hasupha.]

This variation only exists in the translation, the original being written here Husupha, and in the parallel place defectively, Hasupha.

[Hashupha.]

2:44

Siaha <05517> [Siaha.]

{Sia,} [CŒyƒ <\\See definition 05517\\>,] is merely a contraction of, [CŒyahƒ <\\See definition 05517\\>,] Siaha, by the elision of, [Hˆ,] {hay.}

[Sia.]

2:45

Lebanah <03838> [Lebanah.]

These variations merely arise from the mutation of, [Hˆ,] {hay,} into, ['Aleph,] according to the Chaldee dialect; the original, being respectively [Lebƒnƒh <\\See definition 03838\\>,] Lebanah, [\\See definition 03838\\>,] and Lebana; [Chagƒbƒ <\\See definition 02286\\>,] Hagabah, and [Chagƒbƒh <\\See definition 02286\\>,] Hagaba.

[Lebana, Hagaba.]

2:46

<08073> [Shalmai. or, Shamlai.]

Shamlai, of the Kethiv, is evidently a mistake for Shalmai, as the Keri and LXX. have.

2:49

Paseah <06454> [Paseah.]

[Phaseah.]

2:50

Meunim <04586> [Mehunim.]

[Meunim, Nephishesim.]

2:58

temple servants <05411> [Nethinims.]

Solomon <08010> [Solomon's.]

2:59

Tel Harsha <08521> [Tel-harsa.]

[Tel-haresha, Addon. seed. or, pedigree.]

2:60

Delaiah <01806> [of Delaiah.]

[642.]

2:61

descendants ..... descendants ...... descendants <01121> [the children.]

Barzillai ........... Barzillai <01271> [Barzillai.]

2:62

excluded <01351> [therefore.]

excluded .... priesthood <03550 01351> [were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. Heb. they were polluted from the priesthood.]

2:63

governor <08660> [Tirshatha. or, governor.]

The person who held this office at this time was probably Zerubbabel. The word {Tirshatha} is supposed to be Persian; and if, as Castel supposes, it signifies austerity, or that fear which is impressed by the authority of a governor, it may be derived from {tars,} "ear," or {tursh,} "acid, austere."

eat <0398> [should not.]

Urim <0224> [Urim.]

2:64

42,360 <0702> [forty.]

Though the sum total, both here and in Nehemiah, is equal, namely, 42,360, yet the particulars reckoned up only make 29,818 in Ezra, and 31,089 in Nehemiah; and we find that Nehemiah mentions 1,765 persons who are not in Ezra, and Ezra has 494 not mentioned in Nehemiah. This last circumstance, which seems to render all hope of reconciling them impossible, Mr. Alting thinks is the very point by which they can be reconciled; for, if we add Ezra's surplus to the sum in Nehemiah, and Nehemiah's surplus to the number in Ezra, they will both amount to 31,583; which subtracted from 42,360, leaves a deficiency of 10,777, which are not named because they did not belong to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, or to the priests, but to the other Israelitish tribes.

2:65

servants <05650> [servants.]

7,337 ..... 200 <03967> [two hundred.]

2:68
