Read Ezra 2.36-70. In verse 36: The priests: descendants of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua; Jedaiah is named as one of the first priestly figures to return to Jerusalem after the Exile (1 Chr 9.10), and Jeshua was an important chief priest under the administration of Zerubbabel in the late 6th century (Ezra 3.8). Apparently, Jedaiah was regarded as the founder of a renewed line for the chief priesthood. In verse 43: The temple servants is a technical name for a group devoted to serving the Levites. In verse 55: Solomon's servants appear to have beena similar group. In verse 59: Tel-melah, Telharsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer are place names of uncertain identification. Comments or Questions..
