Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

cleansed: Nehemiah 10:30

appointed: Nehemiah 12:1-26, 1 Chronicles 23:1 - 1 Chronicles 26:32

Reciprocal: Nehemiah 9:2 - the seed

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus cleansed I them from all strangers,.... Both people and priests from strange wives, obliging them to put them away, or flee their country:

and appointing the wards of the priests and the Levites, everyone in his business: to do the work of their office in their courses and turns.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The wards - Rather, “the offices or observances.” Nehemiah’s arrangement is probably that described in Nehemiah 11:10-22.
