The Key Word — הַשֹּֽׁעֲרִ֗ים, ha.sho.'a.Rimgenerated

The term הַשֹּֽׁעֲרִ֗ים (ha.sho.'a.Rim) is a noun in the masculine plural form, meaning 'the gatekeepers.' It denotes individuals tasked with guarding and maintaining the gates, a role crucial for the security of the temple and its activities.

The root of this word, שֹׁועֵר (sho'er), conveys the idea of guarding or keeping. The gatekeepers were responsible for controlling access, ensuring that the sacred space was protected. This term appears consistently in the context of temple service.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(5-73) The genealogical reckoning of the people, as the first step towards increasing the population of the metropolis, is determined on, not without express Divine suggestion; the allusion to this inspiration from God, is, as in Nehemiah 2:12, very emphatic. The original register of Zerubbabelis found and copied. The express language of both Ezra and Nehemiah makes it plain that this is no other than the list of those who came up with Zerubbabel and Joshua after the decree of Cyrus, in B.C. 538. Nehemiah’s own census follows, in Nehemiah 11. The exposition, especially as compared with Ezra 2, has been given on that chapter.

ov:

(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.
