Nehemiah 7:26

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

The men: The Septuagint reads here the same as in the parallel place, Υιοι Βαιθαλεμ:, εκατον εικοσιτρεις; υιοι Ατωφα: (Alex. Ανετωφα:) πεντηκονταεξ:; "The children of Bethlehem, one hundred twenty and three; the children of Netophah, fifty and six." Though this reading is not found in any Hebrew manuscript yet collated, it is doubtless the true one.

Bethlehem: Ezra 2:21-22. 179
