9

Zaccai. Ne 7:14;

10

Bani. The variation of Bani, [B�n�y h1137,] and Binnui, [Binn�wy h1131,] arises from the elision of, [V�v,] {wav:} but the LXX., have here [Banoui,] as in the parallel place. 10:34; Ne 7:15;

Binnui. 648.

11

Bebai. 8:11; 10:28; Ne 7:16;

Nebo. This Nebo was probably the Nabau which Eusebius and Jerome place eight miles south from Hebron. Nu 32:3; De 32:49; Ne 7:33; Isa 15:2; Jer 48:1,22;

30

Magbish. i.e., congregating; crystallizing. h4019. 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. ver. 30;

31

Elam. ver. 7; Ne 7:34;

32

Harim. 10:31; Ne 7:35;

33

Lod. 1Ch 8:12; Ne 6:2; 7:37; 11:34,35;

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.

34

the porters. 1Ch 26:1-19; Ne 7:45;

138.

43

Nethinims. ver. 58; 1Ch 9:2; Ne 7:46-56; 10:28;

Hasupha. This variation only exists in the translation, the original being written here Husupha, and in the parallel place defectively, Hasupha. Ne 7:46;

Hashupha.

44

Siaha. {Sia,} [C�y� h5517,] is merely a contraction of, [C�yah� h5517,] Siaha, by the elision of, [H�,] {hay.} Ne 7:47;

Sia.

45

Lebanah. These variations merely arise from the mutation of, [H�,] {hay,} into, ['Aleph,] according to the Chaldee dialect; the original, being respectively [Leb�n�h h3838,] Lebanah, [h3838,] and Lebana; [Chag�b� h2286,] Hagabah, and [Chag�b�h h2286,] Hagaba. Ne 7:48;

Lebana, Hagaba.

46

Shalmai. or, Shamlai. Shamlai, of the Kethiv, is evidently a mistake for Shalmai, as the Keri and LXX. have. ver. 47; ver. 48;

49

Paseah. Ne 7:51;

Phaseah.

50

Mehunim. Ne 7:52;

59

Tel-harsa. Ne 7:61;

61

the children. Ne 7:63,64;

Barzillai. 2Sa 17:27; 19:31-39; 1Ki 2:7;

62

therefore. Le 21:21-23; Nu 3:10; 16:40; 18:7;

were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. Heb. they were polluted from the priesthood. Eze 44:10-14;

63

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; 10:1;

should not. Le 2:3,10; 6:17,29; 7:16; 10:17,18; 22:2,3,10,14-16; Nu 18:9-11,19; Nu 18:32;

Urim. Ex 28:30; Le 8:8; Nu 27:21; De 33:8; 1Sa 28:6;

64

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;

65

servants. Isa 14:1,2;

two hundred. Ex 15:20,21; 2Sa 19:35; Ne 7:67; Ps 68:25; 148:12,13; Ec 2:8; Jer 9:17,18; Mt 9:23; ver. 66; ver. 67;

offered freely. Ex 35:5-19,29; 36:3; Nu 7:3-89; 1Ch 29:5-17; Ne 7:70-73; Ps 110:3; Lu 21:1-4; 2Co 8:3,12; 9:7;

in his place. 3:3; 1Ch 21:18; 22:1; 2Ch 3:1;

69

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;
