Nehemiah 12:11

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 12:1-47

The Establishment Of Jerusalem As The Holy City, Populated By True Israelites; Its Worship Conducted By Those Specifically and Provably Appointed By God; Accepted from God With Due Gladness And Praise; And Purified By the Removal Of All That Could Be Displeasing To God (Nehemiah 11:1 to Nehemiah 13:31 ).

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 12:10-11

The Genealogy Of Jeshua The High Priest Who Went Up With Zerubbabel (Nehemiah 12:10-11 ). Central to the success of the new Israel, and the establishment of the holy city as holy, was the succession of High Priests. Jeshua (Joshua), along with large numbers of priests, had already been able to demonstrate his genealogy, as Nehemiah 7:64 assumes. As the son of Jozadak (Ezra 3:2), or Jehozadak, his genealogy is given in 1 Chronicles 6:1-15, and was therefore clearly available. The succession... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Nehemiah 12:11

Generally supposed to be the same man who was high priest in the days of Alexander the Great, as Josephus mentions; whence a great difficulty ariseth, how Nehemiah could mention this man, who seems not to have been high priest till many years after Nehemiah’s death. But it seems not necessary that this Jaddua should be the same person, for he might be the father of that Jaddua, both being called by the same name; or, if he were the same, the blessing of a very long life might be given to this... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Nehemiah 12:1-47

EXPLANATORY NOTES.] “The list of the inhabitants of the province (chap. 11) is followed by lists of the priests and Levites (Nehemiah 12:1-26). These different lists are, in fact, all connected with the genealogical register of the Israelite population of the whole province, taken by Nehemiah (Nehemiah 7:5) for the purpose of enlarging the population of Jerusalem … Nehemiah 12:1-9 contains a list of the heads of the priests and Levites who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel and Joshua. The... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 12:1-47

Chapter 12In chapter 12:Now these are the priests and the Levites ( Nehemiah 12:1 )And so it gives the names of those priests and Levites that were serving at the time, and it gives their genealogy in verses Nehemiah 12:10-21. And then it tells the chief of the Levites the priests. So when we get to verse Nehemiah 12:27 of chapter 12,And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all the places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness,... read more

Nehemiah 12:47 . They sanctified unto the levites, and the levites sanctified unto the children of Aaron.

It gives permanence to thought. Life is a writing.III. A book silently anticipates the judgment. A record may be appealed to: “Is this thy... read more
