Commentary
4 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.
This site's exposition
the descendants of Parosh
on Nehemiah 7:8-25
Eighteen verses run through clan after clan, each counted by its ancestor's name and a number. The register works by descent through the father's line. A list that reads as bare arithmetic is doing legal work, fixing each household's place in Israel by the name it can prove.
This site's exposition
the descendants of Pahath-moab
Pahath-moab's line comes through two branches, Jeshua and Joab, and counts 2,818, six more than Ezra 2:6. Hasshub son of Pahath-moab repaired a section of the wall and the Tower of the Ovens at 3:11. The family also sealed the covenant at 10:14.
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.
