Read Charles John Ellicott on Ezra 8 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges10. Here, as in Ezra 8:5, the name of the representative is not given, while the name of the house Shelomith does not occur in the other lists. 1Es 8:36 gives “Of the sons of Banid, Assalimoth son of Josaphias”, which is here supported by the LXX. (ἀπὸτῶνυἱῶνΒαανί, ΣελιμοὺθυἱὸςἸωσεφία). This shows the original reading to have been in all probability “of the sons of Bani (cf. Ezra 2:10) Shelomith the son of Josiphiah”.
Read Cambridge on Ezra 8 →Daniel Denison Whedon1808–1885Whedon's Commentary on the Bible5, 10. In Ezra 8:5 the Septuagint inserts Zattu (Ezra 2:8) before Shechaniah, and in Ezra 8:10 Bani (Ezra 2:10) before Shelomith. Compare, also, apocryphal 1Es 8:32; 1Es 8:34.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text aligns with the Septuagint in most words, maintaining the same meaning regarding the descendants of Bani and the number of men. The Septuagint's word order and articles differ but convey the same essential information.

8 of the 9 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.

This is a map of two things, both counted rather than judged. Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Hebrew Bible — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
יוֹסִפְיָה (Yowciphyah) means 'Jehovah adds' and refers to a man mentioned in the context of the Exile and Return, specifically as the father of Shelomith in Ezra 8:10. The name is derived from the active participle of two Hebrew roots, indicating a connection to God adding or increasing.

jos-i-fi'-a (yociphyah, "Yah adds"): Found in Ezr 8:10, where Massoretic Text is "and of the sons of .... Shelomith the son of Josiphiah." With the help of Septuagint A and 1 Esdras 8:36, the name "Bani" (which is the same in the unpointed text as "the sons of" and was omitted through haplography) can be supplied above before "Shelomith." Josiphia is thus the father of Shelomith, one of Ezra's companions. 1 Esdras 8:36 has "Josaphias."
