Ezra's journey, to Jerusalem, Ezra 8. 15-36. = Golden Text, Ezra 8, 22. Verse 15. Gathered them--The previous part of the chapter is de- voted to a list of the heads of the fathers' houses, who went up with Ezra to. Jerusalem. Ezra's first step was to assemble his company on the banks of one of the artificial rivers, or canals, in the neighbor- hood of Babylon, at a place called Ahava. This enabled him to make a review of his: forces befors actu- ally beginning his march. The in- terval of three days, lasting from the ninth to the twelfth of the first month, gave him tine to secure the services of Levites. The sons of Levi--Zerubbabel brought back with him 4,289 priests, of whom only 74 were Levites. Fzra has difficulty in obtaining even few- er. The reason seems to have been their absorption in the service of the high places, and other forms of idolatrous worship. In the later reforms this class took a prominent place. They wore chosen men of patriotic impulse and religious spirit, who were willing to sacrifice their position in order to serve 16. Then sent I for Fliczer -- The proposition here has a peculiar value, the meaning being, appar- ently. not that Ezra summons these leading men into his presence be- for sending them upon a definite mission, although the English says 80 much ; but, that he actually com- migsioned them, on the spot, the following verse giving the details of their mission, The marginal read- ing of verse 17, 'I gave them ocom- mandment,"' is in that case prefer- able to I sent them forth, 17. Iddo--He held some position of authority, perhaps over the {ours Levites, and Nethinim (a y' of temple servants who were detailed ta do the more. menial tasks, such as 'drawing water and hewing . wood)... At,. Casiphia, a small settlement in the vicinity of Babylon: there may have been az kind of college of these young men. We need' not sippose, however, that Iddo belonged to this second class of mere drudgers. * The text is difficult at this point. But tho meaning muss be that Iddo presid- ed over all these.young men, the brethren mentioned being the Le- vites, : ' n us--This js a frequently. occur- ing' phrase "in the chronicles of these, times.

The great leader had already intimated this to the king. If now they were unequal to their foes, it would be an evidence of the ' wrath 'of 'God turned against them for forsaking him. ' 24. Twelve . . . priests--It is dif- ficult to decide which is meant, whether that priests mean Levitet (margin), and that there were twelve of them, including Bhere- biah and Hashabiah, who have al. ready been mentioned as Lovites| or, that there were twenty-four in all, one group consisting of twelve priests, besides (margin) which there were the two Levites named and ten others. ' 25. Weighed--Monay was reckoned largely by weight. The offering silver and gold and vessels, made by the king and others, has already been described in Ezra 7, 16-19, Tha sum has been estimated at about five million dollars, ' 98. Holy unto Jehovah--Tha priests and Levites were by this aot separated unto the saored se of the Lord's house. The solemn- ity of this votive offering was ia. ténsified by an appeal to their here- ditary connections. The mere men- tion of the God of their fathera would cause their memories to turn back upon a past in which the hand of God was evident. 20.
