George Leo Haydock, on Neh 12:26
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Neh 12:26 · Douay-Rheims
“These were in the days of Joacim the son of Josue, the son of Josedec, and in the days of Nehemias the governor, and of Esdras the priest and scribe.”
On this verse:
“Scribe. Could these records have any greater authority than Nehemias himself? It seems, therefore, that this had been added by a later hand, whose testimony is perfectly authentic and inspired. (Calmet) — Nehemias might also refer to some records which he, or some other, had drawn up. (Haydock)”
