The chief of the people
on Nehemiah 10:14-27
The lay heads of families close the roll of seals, more than forty names beginning with Parosh and Pahathmoab, the same family names that head the registry of the first return in Ezra 2 and Nehemiah 7. The generation that came up under Zerubbabel and the generation that seals the covenant under Nehemiah are shown to be the same houses, not a new people but the old remnant still standing. The list's own work is this continuity; no single name here is singled out for further comment.
