The Key Word — בְּנֵ֧י, be.Neigenerated
The word בֵּן (ben) means 'son' or 'descendant' and is used here in the plural form to indicate multiple descendants. It can refer to children, grandchildren, or even a broader sense of lineage, showing the continuity of family lines.
In this verse, בְּנֵי serves as a marker of descent, linking the individuals named to their familial and tribal identity. This word is crucial in genealogical contexts, as it establishes the connection between the current generation and their ancestors.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The sentence structure is straightforward, listing several noun phrases that follow the main subject. The finite verb is implied, as the focus is on the enumeration of descendants.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the lineage, with each descendant introduced by בְּנֵי, highlighting their connection to the names that follow.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates בְּנֵי as υἱοὶ, meaning 'sons'. This choice reflects a direct connection to family lineage, consistent with the Hebrew meaning.
The translation of the names follows the Hebrew closely, maintaining the genealogical structure while adapting it to Greek.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Nehemiah 7:59 lists the descendants of several individuals who returned from exile. This verse emphasizes the importance of family heritage and lineage in the restoration of Israel, connecting the people to their ancestors.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

The verse mentions Shephatiah, Hattil, Pochereth-hazzebaim, and Amon, each representing different family lines that returned from Babylon.
Amon means skilled workman or master workman, and refers to several figures in the Old Testament, including a king of Judah.
This verse is part of a genealogical record that underscores the importance of restoring the community's identity and structure after returning from exile.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What does my own family lineage tell me about my identity and heritage?
- How can understanding the importance of lineage help me appreciate the stories of my ancestors?
- In what ways can I connect with my community's history and heritage?
- What role does family play in shaping our identity today?

Read Robert Jamieson on Nehemiah 7 →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.

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.

בֵּן (ben) means 'son' or 'male child' and encompasses a wide range of meanings, including descendants, young animals, and even figurative uses like sparks or arrows. It can refer to members of a tribe or class and is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, such as in 1 Chronicles 24:26. The word is derived from a root meaning 'to build' and implies a connection to family or lineage.

(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.

שְׁפַטְיָה (Shphatyah) means 'Jehovah has judged' and refers to several individuals in the Old Testament, particularly a son of King David and various heads of families returning from Babylon. The name is built from the roots meaning 'to judge' and 'Yah' (God). It appears in contexts related to the United Monarchy and the Exile, with specific mentions in 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles.

(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.

a'-mon ('amon): A name identical with that of the Egyptian local deity of Thebes (No); compare Jer 46:25. The foreign name given to a Hebrew prince is remarkable, as is also the fact that it is one of the two or three royal names of Judah not compounded with the name of Yahweh. See MANASSEH. It seems to reflect the sentiment which his fanatical father sought to make prevail that Yahweh had no longer any more claim to identification with the realm than had other deities.
(1) A king of Judah, son and successor of Manasseh; reigned two years and was assassinated in his own palace by the officials of his household. The story of his reign is told briefly in 2Ki 21:19-26, and still more briefly, though in identical terms, so far as they go, in
Amon
Builder. (1.) The governor of Samaria in the time of Ahab. The prophet Micaiah was committed to his custody (1 Kings 22:26; 2 Chr. 18:25).
(2.) The son of Manasseh, and fourteenth king of Judah. He restored idolatry, and set up the images which his father had cast down. Zephaniah (1:4; 3:4, 11) refers to the moral depravity prevailing in this king’s reign.
He was assassinated (2 Kings 21:18-26: 2 Chr. 33:20-25) by his own servants, who conspired against him.
(3.) An Egyptian god, usually depicted with a human body and the head of a ram, referred to in Jer. 46:25, where the word “multitudes” in the Authorized…
(builder). One of Ahab’s governors. (1 Kings 22:26; 2 Chronicles 18:25) King of Judah, son and successor of Manasseh, reigned two years, from B.C. 642 to 640. Amon devoted himself wholly to the service of false gods, but was killed in a conspiracy, and was succeeded by his son Josiah.
The fourteenth king of Judah, son of Manasseh, began to reign B. C. 639, at the age of twenty-two, and reigned only two years at Jerusalem. He did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, by forsaking Jehovah and worshipping idols. His servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house; but the people killed all the conspirators, and established his son Josiah on the throne. He was buried in the garden of Uzzah, 2Ki 21:18-26 2Ch 33:21-25.
