Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 7:8. The children of Parosh — As this chapter is almost entirely the same with the second chapter of the book of Ezra, it is not necessary to add any thing to what is said there; and to that chapter, and the accompanying notes, the reader is requested to refer.
