Neh 10:9-13

Jeshua, Binnui, and Kadmiel represent the three chief families of returned Levites (see Ezr 2:40; Ezr 3:9; Neh 7:43, Neh 7:44; Neh 9:4, Neh 9:5, etc.). Binnui, it may be remarked, has now supplanted Kadmiel, and stepped into the second place. Of the remaining names, those of Hashabiah and Sherebiah designate families which returned with Ezra (Ezr 8:18, Ezr 8:19). The remaining names are probably also those of families.
