Ezra 8:3

8:3 the son of Shecaniah; ¹ 

from the descendants of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were enrolled by genealogy 150 men;

Ezra 8:26

8:26 I weighed out to them ²  650 talents of silver, silver vessels worth 100 talents, ³  100 talents of gold,

[8:3]  ¹ tc The MT reads here “from the sons of Shecaniah” with no descendant identified in what follows, contrary to the pattern of the context elsewhere. However, it seems better to understand the first phrase of v. 3 with the end of v. 2; the phrase would then modify the name “Hattush.” This understanding requires emending the reading מִבְּנֵי (mibbÿne, “from the sons of”) in the MT to בֵּן (ben,“[the] son of”). Cf. NAB, TEV, CEV, NLT.

[8:26]  ² tn Heb “upon their hand.”

[8:26]  ³ tn Possibly “100 silver vessels worth [?] talents” or “silver vessels weighing 100 talents.”
