Commentary on Nehemiah 11:32

Theological / Devotional

Anathoth. A Levitical city (Joshua 21:18), which had once been the home of Jeremiah (Jer. 1:1 ; 32:7). It is now called Ras el-Kharruubeh, and lies less than 3 mi. northeast of Jerusalem.

Nob. This city, famous for the massacre of the priests by Doeg in the time of Saul (1 Sam. 22:18, 19), could be seen from Jerusalem (Isa. 10:32). It has tentatively been identified with et-Tor on the Mt. of Olives.

Ananiah. This seems to be the OT name for Bethany, a town on the eastern slope of the Mt. of Olives, one that played an important role in the life of Christ. Its modern name is el-‘Azanyeh.
