Shechaniah: Ezra 10:26; Nehemiah 3:29
Elam: Ezra 2:7, Ezra 2:31; Nehemiah 7:12, Nehemiah 7:34
We have trespassed: Shechaniah here speaks in the name of the people, not acknowledging himself culpable; for he is not in the following list., Compare, James 2:9; Exodus 34:12; Nehemiah 13:27
yet now there is hope: Exodus 34:6-7; Isaiah 55:6-7; Jeremiah 3:12-13; 1 John 1:7-9
