Now in the.2Ch 36:22,23Cyrus.Cyrus is said to have been the son of Cambyses, king of Persia, and Mandane, daughter of Astyages, king of Media: he was born about 600 years before Christ, and died at the age of 70, after a reign of 30 years. He was mentioned by name, and his conquests foretold, by the prophet Isaiah, about a century before his birth. Josephus states the partiality he evinced towards the Jews, arose from the circumstance of these prophecies being shown him, probably by Daniel. by the mouth.Jer 25:12-14; 29:10; 33:7-13the Lord.5:13-15; 6:22; 7:27; Ps 106:46; Pr 21:1; Da 2:1made a proclamation.

Nethinims.58; 1Ch 9:2; Ne 7:46-56; 10:28Hasupha.This variation only exists in the translation, the original being written here Husupha, and in the parallel place defectively, Hasupha. Ne 7:46Hashupha. Siaha.{Sia,} [Cîyâ ,] is merely a contraction of, [Cîyahâ ,] Siaha, by the elision of, [Hê,] {hay.} Ne 7:47Sia. Lebanah.These variations merely arise from the mutation of, [Hê,] {hay,} into, ['Aleph,] according to the Chaldee dialect; the original, being respectively [Lebânâh ,] Lebanah, [See definition 03838|>,] and Lebana; [Chagâbâ ,] Hagabah, and [Chagâbâh ,] Hagaba. Ne 7:48Lebana, Hagaba. Shalmai. or, Shamlai.Shamlai, of the Kethiv, is evidently a mistake for Shalmai, as the Keri and LXX. have. 47 48 Paseah.Ne 7:51Phaseah.

Heb. theywere polluted from the priesthood. Eze 44:10-14 Tirshatha. or, governor.The person who held this office at this time was probably Zerubbabel. The word {Tirshatha} is supposed to be Persian; and if, as Castel supposes, it signifies austerity, or that fear which is impressed by the authority of a governor, it may be derived from {tars,} "ear," or {tursh,} "acid, austere." Ne 7:65; 8:9; 10:1should not.Le 2:3,10; 6:17,29; 7:16; 10:17,18; 22:2,3,10,14-16; Nu 18:9-11,19Nu 18:32Urim.Ex 28:30; Le 8:8; Nu 27:21; De 33:8; 1Sa 28:6 forty.Though the sum total, both here and in Nehemiah, is equal, namely, 42,360, yet the particulars reckoned up only make 29,818 in Ezra, and 31,089 in Nehemiah; and we find that Nehemiah mentions 1,765 persons who are not in Ezra, and Ezra has 494 not mentioned in Nehemiah. This last circumstance, which seems to render all hope of reconciling them impossible, Mr. Alting thinks is the very point by which they can be reconciled; for, if we add Ezra's surplus to the sum in Nehemiah, and Nehemiah's surplus to the number in Ezra, they will both amount to 31,583; which subtracted from 42,360, leaves a deficiency of 10,777, which are not named because they did not belong to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, or to the priests, but to the other Israelitish tribes. 9:8; Ne 7:66-69; Isa 10:20-22; Jer 23:3 servants.Isa 14:1,2two hundred.Ex 15:20,21; 2Sa 19:35; Ne 7:67; Ps 68:25; 148:12,13; Ec 2:8Jer 9:17,18; Mt 9:23 66 67 offered freely.Ex 35:5-19,29; 36:3; Nu 7:3-89; 1Ch 29:5-17; Ne 7:70-73; Ps 110:3Lu 21:1-4; 2Co 8:3,12; 9:7in his place.3:3; 1Ch 21:18; 22:1; 2Ch 3:1 the treasure.8:25-34; 1Ki 7:51; 1Ch 22:14; 26:20-28; Ne 7:71,72 6:16,17; 1Ch 11:2; Ne 7:73; 11:3-36 Ezekiel 28:25
