Commentary on Nehemiah 7:70

Theological / Devotional

The Tirshatha gave. The governor gave (see on Ezra 2:63). This is additional to the information contained in Ezra 2:68, 69. In the former list Zerubbabel’s offering is not listed separately from that of the other heads of families. The account in Nehemiah’s list is more detailed and perhaps more exact than that given in the other copy.
