Commentary on Nehemiah 12:33

Theological / Devotional

And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam. Probably representatives of but two priestly families. The “and” preceding Azariah should be translated “even,” or “namely,” and the entire verse rendered, “Namely Azariah, who is Ezra, and Meshullam” (see ch. 10:2, 7).

This Ezra should be distinguished from Ezra, the leader of the company, mentioned in ch. 12:36.
