Ezra 2:43-70
Nethinims.58; 1Ch 9:2; Ne 7:46-56; 10:28Hasupha.This variation only exists in the translation, the original being written here Husupha, and in the parallel place defectively, Hasupha. Ne 7:46Hashupha. Siaha.{Sia,} [Cîyâ ,] is merely a contraction of, [Cîyahâ ,] Siaha, by the elision of, [Hê,] {hay.} Ne 7:47Sia. Lebanah.These variations merely arise from the mutation of, [Hê,] {hay,} into, ['Aleph,] according to the Chaldee dialect; the original, being respectively [Lebânâh ,] Lebanah, [See definition 03838|>,] and Lebana; [Chagâbâ ,] Hagabah, and [Chagâbâh ,] Hagaba. Ne 7:48Lebana, Hagaba. Shalmai. or, Shamlai.Shamlai, of the Kethiv, is evidently a mistake for Shalmai, as the Keri and LXX. have. 47 48 Paseah.Ne 7:51Phaseah.

Heb. theywere polluted from the priesthood. Eze 44:10-14 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." Ne 7:65; 8:9; 10:1should not.Le 2:3,10; 6:17,29; 7:16; 10:17,18; 22:2,3,10,14-16; Nu 18:9-11,19Nu 18:32Urim.Ex 28:30; Le 8:8; Nu 27:21; De 33:8; 1Sa 28:6 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. 9:8; Ne 7:66-69; Isa 10:20-22; Jer 23:3 servants.Isa 14:1,2two hundred.Ex 15:20,21; 2Sa 19:35; Ne 7:67; Ps 68:25; 148:12,13; Ec 2:8Jer 9:17,18; Mt 9:23 66 67 offered freely.Ex 35:5-19,29; 36:3; Nu 7:3-89; 1Ch 29:5-17; Ne 7:70-73; Ps 110:3Lu 21:1-4; 2Co 8:3,12; 9:7in his place.3:3; 1Ch 21:18; 22:1; 2Ch 3:1 the treasure.8:25-34; 1Ki 7:51; 1Ch 22:14; 26:20-28; Ne 7:71,72 6:16,17; 1Ch 11:2; Ne 7:73; 11:3-36 Ezra 7:24

Hagaba.Ezr 2:45,46Hagabah, or Hagab.The Alexandrian MS. of the Septuagint inserts here, [uioi Akoud, uioi Outa, weoi Ketar, weoi Agab] "the children of Akoud, the children of Outa, the children of Ketar, the children of Agab," or Hagab: see the parallel passages. Shalmai.In the parallel passage not only the Keri and Septuagint, but many of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. read Shalmai, as here. A more extensive collation of MSS. would doubtless tend still more to harmonize both the names and numbers. Ezr 2:46Shamlai. 49 50 Phaseah.This variation only exists in the translation; the original being uniformly Pasëah. Ezr 2:49Paseah. Meunim.The first of these variations is attributable to the translation, the original being uniformly, [Meûwnîy ,] {Meûnim;} and the latter arises from the mutation of, [Vâv,] {wav,} and, [Yôwd,] {yood,} and insertion of, [Shîyn,] {sheen,} though in the parallel passage the Kethiv is [Nephîycîym ,] {Nephisim;} and here the Keri and many MSS. have [Nephûwhsecîym ,] {Nephishesim.} Ezr 2:50Mehunim, Nephusim. 53 Bazlith.Instead of Bazlith, many MSS. and the LXX. have Bazluth, as in the parallel place. Ezr 2:52Bazluth. Tamah.Here there is no variation in the original; it being uniformly Tamah. Ezr 2:53Thamah. 56 Solomon's.11:3Perida.Three MSS. have Peruda, instead of Perida, as in Ezra. Ezr 2:55Peruda. Jaala.The variation of [Yaalâ ,] {Jaalah,} and [Yaalâh ,} {Jaala,} merely arises from the mutation of [Hê,] {hay,} into ['Aleph,] {aleph,} according to the Chaldee dialect. Ezr 2:56Jaalah. Amon.Instead of Amon, two of De Rossi's MSS. have Amin, and the LXX. have [Emim,] Emim; which nearly approaches the Ami of Ezra. Ezr 2:57Ami. the Nethinims.Ezr 2:58 Tel-haresha.The first of these variations only exists in the translation; the original being uniformly [Têl Charshâ ,] {Tel-harsha:} the latter simply arises from the insertion of a [Vâv,] {wav;} being written ['Addân ,] {Addan,} in the parallel passage, and ['Addôwn ,] {Addon,} here.

Ezr 2:66,67 Here Jerome adds, in the Vulgate, {Hucusque refertur quid in commentario scriptum fuerit; exin Nehemiæ historia texitur:} "Thus far do the words extend which were written in the register; what follows belongs to the history of Nehemiah." This addition is not found in the Hebrew, or any ancient version: it is also wanting in the Paris and Complutensian Polyglotts; but is found in the Editio Prima of the Vulgate. What follows, however, seems to relate to a distinct oblation from that recorded in Ezra; and was probably made after the people were registered by Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, or governor, at this time, as Zerubbabel had been at the first return of the Jews from captivity. Blessed be God that our faith and hope are not built upon the niceties of names and numbers, genealogy and chronology, but on the great things of the law and gospel. Whatever is given to the work of God and his cause will surely be remembered by him (Heb 6:10). 69 some.
