the fifth to Malchijah
Malchijah is a name that appears several times in the Old Testament, often associated with priestly or Levitical duties. The division of priests into 24 courses, as seen in 1 Chronicles 24, was established by King David to organize temple service. This system ensured that the duties of the temple were shared among the descendants of Aaron. Malchijah's inclusion as the fifth division highlights the structured and orderly worship practices in ancient Israel. The name Malchijah means "My King is Yahweh," reflecting the theocratic nature of Israelite society, where God was recognized as the ultimate ruler. This division system is a precursor to the New Testament concept of the body of Christ, where each member has a specific role to play.

the sixth to Mijamin
Mijamin, like Malchijah, is a name associated with priestly lineage. The division of Mijamin as the sixth course indicates the continuation of the organized priestly service established by David. The name Mijamin means "from the right hand," which can symbolize strength or favor, as the right hand is often associated with power and blessing in biblical texts. This division system reflects the importance of order and regularity in worship, which is a theme that carries into the New Testament church's emphasis on orderly worship and spiritual gifts. The structured priestly courses also foreshadow the New Testament teaching that all believers are part of a royal priesthood, serving God in various capacities.

Heritage and Continuity
The priestly divisions show the importance of spiritual heritage and continuity. We are part of a larger account of faith that spans generations.

Names and Identity
The meanings of the names Malchijah and Mijamin remind us that our identity is rooted in our relationship with God. Our names and roles should reflect His character.(9) Malchijah.--Nehemiah 3:11.

Mijamin.--Looks like on the right hand. Perhaps the first syllable is a disguise of Me (water--a metaphorical term for son), and then the name would be equivalent to Benjamin (Nehemiah 12:5).

Verse 9. - Malehijah. An earlier priest of this same name is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 9:12, who is again mentioned in Nehemiah 11:12; Jeremiah 21:1; Jeremiah 38:1. The name in our present verse is probably the same (but used to mark a family and not the individual) as that found in Nehemiah 10:3 (see also Nehemiah 12:42). The Malchijah of Nehemiah 3:11 and Ezra 10:25 is the name of an Israelitish layman. Mijamin. In like manner, this as a family name reappears in Nehemiah 10:7; Nehemiah 12:5 (in the form Miamin), 17, 41 (in the form Miniamin); see also 2 Chronicles 31:15, where the Septuagint, the Vulgate, and the Peshito Syriac read Benjamin. The name as of a layman also appears in Ezra 10:25.
