Nehemiah 11:3-19
leaders <07218> [Now.]
There is a good deal of difference between this enumeration and that in Chronicles; as this comprehends not only those who came first with Zerubbabel, but also those who came with Ezra and Nehemiah: see on 1 Ch 9:18.
leaders <07218> [the chief.]
Israelites <03478> [Israel.]
temple attendants <05411> [Nethinims.]
sons <01121> [the children.]
settled <03427> [dwelt.]
Perez <06557> [Perez.]
The variation of Pharez and Perez is only found in the translation; the original being uniformly [Perets <\\See definition 06557\\>.]
[Pharez.]
[Phares.]
Col-Hozeh <03626> [Col-hozeh.]
Shelah <08023> [Shiloni.]
Some suppose Shiloni to be the name of a man; others derive it from Shiloh, the city so called; and others derive it from Shelah, son of Judah.
[Shelah.]
[Shelanites.]
descendants ..... son ..... son ..... son ..... son ..... son ..... son ..... son <01121> [the sons.]
Joed <03133> [Joed.]
It is probable that Joed was also called Hodaviah, and that Pedaiah had also the name of Hasenuah.
Judah <03063> [Judah.]
[Hodaviah. Hasenuah.]
Jedaiah <03048> [Jedaiah.]
One of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. omits, [bˆn <\\See definition 01121\\>,] {ben,} "son of," and reads "Jedaiah, Joiarib, Jachin:" which is nearly that of the parallel place. Joiarib, [Y“wyƒrŒyb <\\See definition 03114\\>,] is merely a contracted form of [Yeh“wyƒrŒyb <\\See definition 03080\\>,] Jehoiarib, by the elision of [Hˆ',] {hay.}
[Jehoiarib.]
Joiarib <03114> [Joiarib.]
Seraiah <08304> [Seraiah.]
Seraiah probably had also the name of Azariah.
[Azariah.]
supervisor <05057> [the ruler.]
He had the command over all secular matters; as the high priest had over all those which were spiritual.
Adaiah <05718> [Adaiah.]
Haggedolim <01419> [of one of the great men. or, of Haggedolim.]
Shemaiah <08098> [Shemaiah.]
Shabbethai <07678> [Shabbethai.]
external <02435> [had the oversight of. Heb. were over.]
external <02435> [outward.]
Calmet supposes they provided the victuals for the priests, the victims for the sacrifices, the sacerdotal vestments, the sacred vessels, and other necessaries for the service of the temple.
Zabdi <02067> [Zabdi.]
In the parallel passage, instead of Zichri, many manuscripts have Zabdi, as here: he is also called Zaccur.
[Zichri. to begin.]
thanksgiving <03034> [thanksgiving.]
Bakbukiah <01229> [Bakbukiah.]
holy <06944> [the holy.]
Akkub <06126> [Akkub.]
guarding <08104> [that kept.]
gates <08179> [the gates. Heb. at the gates.]
