Milalai

Holman Bible Dictionary

(mihl' uh lawee) Personal name meaning, “eloquent.” Musician participating in Nehemiah's dedication of the wall (Nehemiah 12:36 ). The earliest Greek translation lacks the name, prompting some to suggest a scribal corruption due to repeating the following name (Gilalai). The shorter Greek text may, however, result from omission due to the scribe skipping to a word with a similar ending.
