Contextual Overview

⁵ And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words: ⁶ These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town; ⁷ Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: ⁸ The children of Parosh, two thousand, one hundred and seventy-two. ⁹ The children of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy-two. ¹⁰ The children of Arah, six hundred and fifty-two. ¹¹ The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand, eight hundred and eighteen. ¹² The children of Elam, a thousand, two hundred and fifty-four. ¹³ The children of Zattu, eight hundred and forty-five. ¹⁴ The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and sixty.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

The men: The Septuagint reads here the same as in the parallel place, יןי ביטבכול, וךבפןם ויךןףיפסויע; ץיןי פשצב (Alex. םופשצב) נוםפחךןםפבומ; "The children of Bethlehem, one hundred twenty and three; the children of Netophah, fifty and six." Though this reading is not found in any Hebrew manuscript yet collated, it is doubtless the true one.

Bethlehem: Ezra 2:21, Ezra 2:22. 179

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 2:54 - Netophathites 1 Chronicles 9:16 - Netophathites Jeremiah 40:8 - Netophathite
