Nehemiah 7:7

7:7 They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah.

The number of Israelite men ¹  was as follows:

Nehemiah 12:1

The Priests and the Levites Who Returned to Jerusalem

12:1 These are the priests and Levites who returned ²  with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

Nehemiah 12:47

12:47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel was contributing the portions for the singers and gatekeepers, according to the daily need. ³  They also set aside ⁴  the portion for the Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron.

[7:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the men of the people of Israel.” Some English versions translate as “the people from Israel” (NCV) or “the Israelite people” (NRSV), but “men” should be retained because the following numbers presumably include only adult males.

[12:1]  ² tn Heb “who went up.”

[12:47]  ³ tn Heb “a thing of a day in its day.”

[12:47]  ⁴ tn Heb “were sanctifying.”
