Nehemiah 7:33
the men of the other Nebo, 52;
BSB
ASV
The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.
KJV
The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.
The men of the other Nebo - The word other is not in the parallel place, Ezr 2:29, and is wanting in many of Kennicott’s and De Rossi’s MSS. This Nebo is supposed to be the same as Nob or Nobah, in the tribe of Benjamin.
Or 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.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk5
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
