Nehemiah 12:34

Study note

Setting — The narrator records a sequence of names as participants in a procession, continuing the roster from the preceding line and extending into the following one.

The words — יְהוּדָה (ye.hu.Dah) = Judah, and וּ/בִנְיָמִ֔ן (u./vin.ya.Min) = and Benjamin appear as consecutive entries in the list.

The thread — The verse belongs to a continuous enumeration of individuals joining a communal event, running directly alongside the names in Nehemiah 12:33 and Nehemiah 12:35.

Why it lands — It asks the reader to treat the passage as a straightforward roster, noting each person exactly as written without importing unverified roles or categories.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
