Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Jeshua: Not Jeshua the high-priest, before mentioned, but another Jeshua, a Levite, mentioned in the parallel passage. Ezra 2:40

Judah: Hodaviah, הודויה [Strong's H1938], is called Hodevah, הודוה [Strong's H1937], by the elision of י, yood, and was probably named Judah, from the word having the same signification. Ezra 2:40, Hodaviah, Nehemiah 7:43, Hodevah

together: Heb. as one

Reciprocal: Ezra 2:2 - Jeshua Ezra 2:36 - Jeshua Nehemiah 7:7 - Jeshua

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then stood Jeshua, with his sons,.... Not Jeshua the high priest before mentioned, but Jeshua the Levite, Ezra 2:40,

and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together; the same with Hodaviah, Ezra 2:40

to set forward the workmen in the house of God; to give them orders to begin and lay the foundation, and hasten and animate them to it:

the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites: two of this man's sons are mentioned in Nehemiah 3:18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jeshua - See the marginal reference. Not the high priest, but the head of one of the two Levitical houses which had returned.

Together - The Hebrew phrase is very emphatic - “they stood up as one man.”
