Adam Clarke, on Neh 11:16

Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Neh 11:16 · Douay-Rheims
“And Sabathai and Jozabed, who were over all the outward business of the house of God, of the princes of the Levites,”
On this verse:
“And Shabbethai - This verse, with Neh 11:20, Neh 11:21, Neh 11:28, Neh 11:29, Neh 11:32, Neh 11:33, Neh 11:34, and Neh 11:35, are all wanting in the Septuagint and the whole chapter is wanting in the Arabic, the translator not being concerned in Jewish genealogies. The outward business - Calmet supposes that he provided the victuals for the priests, victims for the sacrifices, the sacerdotal vestments, the sacred vessels, and other necessaries for the service of the temple.”
