This site's exposition

of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah

on Nehemiah 12:12-21

A second list of course heads follows, now serving "In the days of Joiakim," the second generation after the return. Several of these names recur among the sealers of the covenant in chapter 10. The priesthood renews itself by father's house, name matched to name and course to course.

This site's exposition

of Sallai, Kallai

Sallai stands where verse 7 lists Sallu, one of several spellings that shift between the two lists. Kallai and Eber head these two houses in Joiakim's day. Neither house sealed the covenant at 10:2-8.
