Contextual Overview

5 Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogies. Then I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up first in which I found the following record: 6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his city, 7 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of men of the people of Israel: 8 the sons of Parosh, 2,172; 9 the sons of Shephatiah, 372; 10 the sons of Arah, 652; 11 the sons of Pahath-moab of the sons of Jeshua and Joab, 2,818; 12 the sons of Elam, 1,254; 13 the sons of Zattu, 845; 14 the sons of Zaccai, 760;

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
