Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
all Israel: It was for the purpose of ascertaining the different families, and consequently the different cities, villages, etc., which belonged to them, according to the ancient division of the land, that the public registers were examined.
when the seventh: Ezra 2:70, Ezra 3:1
Reciprocal: Numbers 29:1 - the seventh 1 Chronicles 9:2 - the first 1 Chronicles 23:5 - porters Ezra 6:16 - the children Nehemiah 10:28 - the rest Nehemiah 11:3 - Israel
Gill's Notes on the Bible
So the priests and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities,.... The same is said in Ezra 2:70,
Ezra 2:70- :,
and, when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities; the month Tisri, answering to part of September, in which month was the feast of tabernacles; at this time of the year they were in their cities when they came forth out of Babylon, and so they were now; see Ezra 3:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compared with Ezra 2:69 there is considerable difference between the totals for gold, silver, and garments. The usual explanation is that of corruption in the one or the other of the passages.
Nehemiah 7:73
Dwelt in their cities - Nehemiah’s quotation from Zerubbabel’s register ends here, and the narration of events in Jerusalem in his own day is resumed from Nehemiah 7:3. The narrative Nehemiah 8:0; Nehemiah 10:0 appears from internal evidence to be by a different author (see the introduction of the Book of Nehemiah).
The last two clauses of Nehemiah 7:73 should stand as the beginning of Nehemiah 8:0 (as in the Septuagint). The text would then run: “And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the whole people gathered themselves together as one man,” etc. Compare the margin reference.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 7:73. All Israel, dwelt in their cities — It was in reference to this particularly that the public registers were examined; for by them they found the different families, and consequently the cities, villages, c., which belonged to them, according to the ancient division of the lands. It seems that the examination of the registers occupied about a month for as soon as the walls were finished, which was in the sixth month, (Elul,) Nehemiah 6:15, Nehemiah instituted the examination mentioned in this chapter, Nehemiah 7:5; and by the concluding verse we find that the different families had got into their paternal cities in the seventh month, Tisri, answering to a part of our September and October. Thus the register determined every thing: there was no room for complaint, and none to accuse the governor of partiality.
