two thousand One manuscript of Dr. Kennicott's reads "two thousand sixty and six;" but no doubt "two thousand and fifty-six," is the true reading, as in the parallel passage.

Adin Ezra 2:15. 454

six hundred One of Dr. Kennicott's codices has "six hundred fifty and four."

Hariph Hariph and Jorah were probably two distinct names of this person. Ezra 2:18, Jorah

Gibeon Gibeon is probably a mistake for Gibbar, or the contrary; though this person may have been called by both names. Ezra 2:20, Gibbar

The men The Septuagint reads here the same as in the parallel place, Υιοι Βαιθαλεμ, εκατον εικοσιτρεις; υιοι Ατωφα (Alex. Ανετωφα) πεντηκονταεξ; "The children of Bethlehem, one hundred twenty and three; the children of Netophah, fifty and six." Though this reading is not found in any Hebrew manuscript yet collated, it is doubtless the true one.

Ramah Josh 18:24-25; Ezra 2:26

Michmas The variation between ξλξωΡ H4363, Michmash, and ξλξρ H4363, Michmas, arises from the mutation of ωΡ, sheen, and ρ, samech; though several manuscripts have the former reading here also. 1Sam 13:5, 1Sam 13:23. Ezra 2:27, Isa 10:28, Michmash.

Hagaba Ezra 2:45-46, Hagabah, or Hagab, The Alexandrian manuscript of the Septuagint inserts here, υιοι Ακουδ, υιοι Ουτα, υιοι Κηταρ, υιοι Αγαβ "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 manuscripts read Shalmai, as here. A more extensive collation of manuscripts would doubtless tend still more to harmonize both the names and numbers. Ezra 2:46, Shamlai

Phaseah This variation only exists in the translation; the original being uniformly Paseah. Ezra 2:49, Paseah

Meunim The first of these variations is attributable to the translation, the original being uniformly, ξςεπιν H4586, Meunim; and the latter arises from the mutation of, ε, wav, and, ι, yood, and insertion of, ωΡ, sheen, though in the parallel passage the Kethiv is πτιριν H5304, Nephisim; and here the Keri and many manuscripts have πτιωΡριν H5300, Nephishesim. Ezra 2:50, Mehunim, Nephusim

Bazlith Instead of Bazlith, many manuscripts and the LXX have Bazluth, as in the parallel place. Ezra 2:52, Bazluth

Tamah Here there is no variation in the original; it being uniformly Tamah. Ezra 2:53, Thamah

Solomon's Neh 11:3

Perida Three manuscripts have Peruda, instead of Perida, as in Ezra. Ezra 2:55, Peruda

Jaala The variation of ιςμδ H3279, Jaalah, and ιςμΰ H3279, Jaala, merely arises from the mutation of δ, hay, into ΰ, aleph, according to the Chaldee dialect. Ezra 2:56, Jaalah

Amon Instead of Amon, two of De Rossi's manuscripts have Amin, and the LXX have Ημιμ, Emim; which nearly approaches the Ami of Ezra. Ezra 2:57, Ami

the Nethinims Ezra 2:58

Telharesha The first of these variations only exists in the translation; the original being uniformly ϊμ ηψωΡΰ H8521, Tel̇harshà the latter simply arises from the insertion of a ε, wav; being written ΰγο H135, Addan, in the parallel passage, and ΰγεο H114, Addon, here. Ezra 2:59, Tel-harsa, Addan

Here Jerome adds, in the Vulgate, Hucusque refertur quid in commentario scriptum fuerit; exin Nehemie historia texitur̀ "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).
