[68] [¶]And [some] of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the Lord which [is] at Jerusalem, offered freely81 for the house of God to set it up in his place82: [69] They gave after their ability unto the treasure83 of the work threescore and one thousand drams of gold, and five thousand pound of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments. [70] So the priests, and the Levites, and [some] of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities. 84

The variation of Bani, απι ( בָּנִי ), and Binnui, απει ( בִּנּוּי ), arises from the elision of, ε, wav, but the LXX have here Βανουι, as in the parallel place. Ezra 10:34; Neh 7:15, Binnui. 648 ↩

or, Harid, as it is in some copies, Hadid is probably the Adida of Josephus, and the Maccabees (1Mac Neh 12:38; Neh 13:13), a city situated on a hill in the plain country of Judah, and the Aditha of Eusebius, which he places near Diospolis, Lydda, or Lod. ↩

or, governor, The person who held this office at this time was probably Zerubbabel. The word Tirshatha is supposed to be Persian; and if, as Castel supposes, it signifies austerity, or that fear which is impressed by the authority of a governor, it may be derived from tars, "ear," or tursh, "acid, austere."

Though the sum total, both here and in Nehemiah, is equal, namely, 42,360, yet the particulars reckoned up only make 29,818 in Ezra, and 31,089 in Nehemiah; and we find that Nehemiah mentions 1,765 persons who are not in Ezra, and Ezra has 494 not mentioned in Nehemiah. This last circumstance, which seems to render all hope of reconciling them impossible, Mr. Alting thinks is the very point by which they can be reconciled; for, if we add Ezra's surplus to the sum in Nehemiah, and Nehemiah's surplus to the number in Ezra, they will both amount to 31,583; which subtracted from 42,360, leaves a deficiency of 10,777, which are not named because they did not belong to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, or to the priests, but to the other Israelitish tribes.
