Ezra Sends for the Levites

Ezra Sends for the Levites

Now I assembled [these exiles] at the canal that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And when I searched among the people and priests, I found no Levites there.

16

Then I summoned the leaders: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan,[fn] Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, as well as the teachers Joiarib and Elnathan. 17And I sent them to Iddo, the leader at Casiphia, with a message for him and his kinsmen, the temple servants[fn] at Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.

18

And since the gracious hand of our God was upon us, they brought us Sherebiah— a man of insight from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel— along with his sons and brothers,18 men; 19also Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah, from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, 20 men. 20[They also brought] 220 of the temple servants, all designated by name. David and the officials had appointed [them] to assist the Levites.

21

8:16 Elnathan appears three times in verse, either as a repetition for emphasis or as a record of multiple men with this name.

8:17 Hebrew the Nethinim; also in verse 20
