7:3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be
opened until the sun be hot; and while a they stand by,
let them shut the doors, and bar [them]: and appoint watches
of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and
every one [to be] over against his house.
7:6 These [are] the b children of the province, that went up
out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away,
whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away,
and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his
city;
(b) That is, the inhabitants of Judah.
7:7 Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, c Azariah,
Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai,
Nehum, Baanah. The number, [I say], of the men of the people
of Israel [was this];
(c) Azariah in Ezra is called Seraiah, and Raamiah Reelaiah
(Ezr 2:2).
7:25 The d children of Gibeon, ninety and five.
(d) That is, the inhabitants of Gibeon.
7:33 The men e of the other Nebo, fifty and two.
(e) For there were two cities with this name.
7:46 The f Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of
Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth,
7:65 And g the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not
eat of the most holy things, till there stood [up] a priest
with Urim and Thummim.

means a butler.
7:70 And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work.
The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand h drams of
gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests'
garments.
7:73 So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the
singers, and [some] of the people, and the Nethinims, and
all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the i seventh
month came, the children of Israel [were] in their cities.
(i) Which contained part of September and part of October.
