Commentary
3 notes on this verseOr perhaps one was the account of them when they set out from Babylon with Zerubbabel, the other when they came to Jerusalem. The sum totals are all just the same there and here, except of the singing-men and singing-women, which there are 200, here 245.

an hundred fourscore and eight
on Nehemiah 7:26-38
The register changes its axis without announcement: from verse twenty-six the roll counts men by the town they returned to rather than the ancestor they descended from, Bethlehem and Netophah, Anathoth, Jericho, Lod and Ono among them. Genealogy and geography together are one register's two halves, the household traced by blood and then set back down on the map it left. The town names read like a gazetteer of the province the wall now protects.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
He appointed the porters, singers, and Levites, in their places to their work. This is meant of their work in general, which was to attend the temple service; it had been neglected in some degree, but now was revived. God's worship is the defence of a place, and his ministers, when they mind their duty, are watchmen on the walls.
