A List of those who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel2.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Nehemiah 7:5-73

(5-73) The genealogical reckoning of the people, as the first step towards increasing the population of the metropolis, is determined on, not without express Divine suggestion; the allusion to this inspiration from God, is, as in Nehemiah 2:12, very emphatic. The original register of Zerubbabelis found and copied. The express language of both Ezra and Nehemiah makes it plain that this is no other than the list of those who came up with Zerubbabel and Joshua after the decree of Cyrus, in B.C.... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Nehemiah 7:1-73

CHAPTER 7 1. Provisions made for the defense of the city (Nehemiah 7:1-4 ) 2. The genealogy (Nehemiah 7:5-65 ) 3. Their whole number (Nehemiah 7:66-69 ) 4. The gifts for the work (Nehemiah 7:70-73 ) Nehemiah 7:1-4 . The wall had been finished and the doors set up. Porters, singers and the Levites were appointed, and Nehemiah gave to his brother Hanani and Hananiah, the ruler of the castle, charge over Jerusalem. The porters were gate keepers. These gate keepers are named in Ezra 2:42 ,... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 7:1-73

APPOINTMENTS MADE IN THE CITY (vv. 1-3) The wall of separation having been built and the doors hung in the gates, then appointments consistent with this separation were made (v. 1). Gatekeepers are first mentioned, a seriously responsible occupation, for they must receive in all who should be in and keep out all who should be out. They should therefore be able to discern between those who made deceitful claims and those who were true. ln the Church of God today we surely need such... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 7:1-73

INTERNAL REGULATIONS A NEW GENEALOGICAL RECORD (Nehemiah 7:0 ) The need for this assignment of duty to the two men named (Nehemiah 7:2 ), is not apparent unless Nehemiah contemplated a return to Persia. Later it will be seen that such return took place, but whether at this time or not, is not clear. To “fear God above many,” as Hananiah did, is a great commendation. It was customary to open the gates of a city at sunrise, but to do so in this case before the inhabitants were well awake and... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Nehemiah 7:1-73

Nehemiah 7:0 [Measures were taken (1-4) for the security of the city, now made a complete fortress. The comparative thinness of the population taxed the governor's resources, and the result appears at a later stage.] 1. Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors [comp. Neh 6:1 ], and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed [placed in charge, probably over the walls. Bishop Ellicott's Commentary says: This was an extraordinary provision, to be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nehemiah 7:5-69

(5) ¶ And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein, (6) These are the 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, everyone unto his city; (7) Who came... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 7:5-73

5-73 Nehemiah knew that the safety of a city, under God, depends more upon the inhabitants than upon its walls. Every good gift and every good work are from above. God gives knowledge, he gives grace; all is of him, and therefore all must be to him. What is done by human prudence, must be ascribed to the direction of Divine Providence. But woe to those who turn back from the Lord, loving this present world! and happy those who dedicate themselves, and their substance, to his service and glory! read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Nehemiah 7:1-99

Nehemiah 7 WE HAVE a sense of relief as we commence chapter 7, since we at once discover that there were those, who far from hindering the work of God at that moment, were real helpers in the work. The wall was finished, in spite of the difficulties, the doors set up and officials appointed, that the gates might be opened and shut as would be suitable. In this connection Hanani, whom Nehemiah calls 'my brother', is again mentioned. He it was who brought the first tidings of the sad state of... read more
