Commentary on Nehemiah 11:10

Theological / Devotional

Jedaiah. According to 1 Chron. 9:10 the three names there given belong to three different priestly families. According, it appears that the Heb. ben, “the son of,” is probably a copyist’s error. Jedaiah and Joiarib represented two of the chief priestly families, and are usually mentioned together (1 Chron. 24:7; Neh. 12:19; etc.). Jachin was a priestly family of much less distinction, probably descended from the head of the 21st priestly course in David’s time (1 Chron. 24:17).
