Ezra 2:42

2:42 The gatekeepers: ¹  the descendants of Shallum, the descendants of Ater, the descendants of Talmon, the descendants of Akkub, the descendants of Hatita, and the descendants of Shobai: 139.

Ezra 8:3

8:3 the son of Shecaniah; ² 

from the descendants of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were enrolled by genealogy 150 men;

[2:42]  ¹ tc Here it is preferable to delete the reading בְּנֵי (bÿne, “the sons of”) found in the MT.

[8:3]  ² tc The MT reads here “from the sons of Shecaniah” with no descendant identified in what follows, contrary to the pattern of the context elsewhere. However, it seems better to understand the first phrase of v. 3 with the end of v. 2; the phrase would then modify the name “Hattush.” This understanding requires emending the reading מִבְּנֵי (mibbÿne, “from the sons of”) in the MT to בֵּן (ben,“[the] son of”). Cf. NAB, TEV, CEV, NLT.
