Nehemiah 11:10 Summary
[Nehemiah 11:10 lists the names of two priests, Jedaiah and Jachin, who were part of the group of people that returned to Jerusalem to help rebuild the city, as seen in Nehemiah 7:6 and Ezra 2:1-2. This verse shows that God is interested in the details of our lives and that every person has a role to play in His plan. Just like the priests in Nehemiah 11:10, we can serve God and our communities by using our unique gifts and talents, as encouraged in Romans 12:4-8 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. By doing so, we can be part of something bigger than ourselves and help bring restoration and renewal to those around us.]

(10) This should be read Jedaiah, Joiarib, Jachin, three priestly families (1 Chronicles 9:10).
Cambridge Bible on Nehemiah 11:10
10. Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin] The parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 9:10 has ‘Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, Jachin.’ As these three are the names of well-known priestly houses (cf. 1 Chronicles 24:7, Jehoiarib the first, Jedaiah the second, Jachin the one and twentieth in the twenty-four), ‘the son of’ may possibly be an interpolation. If the text is correct, ‘Jedaiah’ must here represent a branch of the house of Joiarib.
