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.
