children.The word children, in this table, when prefixed to the name of a man, signifies the descendants of that person, as from ver. 3-21; and when prefixed to the name of a town, place, etc., it signifies the inhabitants of that place, as from ver. 21-25.

Siaha.{Sia,} [Cîyâ ,] is merely a contraction of, [Cîyahâ ,] Siaha, by the elision of, [Hê,] {hay.}

Ne 7:47

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 7:48

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; 10:1

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.
