George Leo Haydock, on Neh 11:22

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Neh 11:22 · Douay-Rheims
“And the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem, was Azzi the son of Bani, the son of Hasabia, the son of Mathania, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, were the singing men in the ministry of the house of God.”
On this verse:
“Overseer. Literally, “bishop.” Hebrew pekid, which has the same meaning. (Haydock) — Christians styled him who was at the head, bishop; as the Athenians did their chief justice. (Grotius) (Estius) (Calmet)”
