children The word children, in this table, when prefixed to the name of a man, signifies the descendants of that person, as from Ezra 2:3-21; and when prefixed to the name of a town, place, etc., it signifies the inhabitants of that place, as from Ezra 2:21-25.

Bani The variation of Bani, απι H1137, and Binnui, απει H1131, arises from the elision of, ε, wav, but the LXX have here Βανουι, as in the parallel place. Ezra 10:34; Neh 7:15, Binnui. 648

Magbish i.e. congregating; crystallizing, H4019. The children of Magbish are not named in our present copies of Nehemiah; but the Alexandrian manuscript of the LXX has the same reading as here. Ezra 2:30

Lod 1Chr 8:12; Neh 6:2, Neh 7:37, Neh 11:34-35

Hadid or, Harid, as it is in some copies, Hadid is probably the Adida of Josephus, and the Maccabees (1Mac Neh 12:38; Neh 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.

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

Siaha Sia, ριςΰ H5517, is merely a contraction of, ριςδΰ H5517, Siaha, by the elision of, δ, hay. Neh 7:47, Sia

Lebanah These variations merely arise from the mutation of, δ, hay, into, ΰ, according to the Chaldee dialect; the original, being respectively μαπδ H3838, Lebanah, and μαπΰ H3838 Lebana; ηβαδ H2286, Hagabah, and ηβαΰ H2286, Hagaba. Neh 7:48, Lebana, Hagaba

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

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."

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.
