Nehemiah 12:5, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

This verse sits inside a roster of priests who returned from Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel and Jeshua, the leaders of the first wave of resettlement. Nehemiah records these family names decades later to show that the restored priesthood rested on known ancestral houses, the same divisions that had served in the temple before the exile.
