From the priests
This phrase indicates the specific lineage and role of the individuals mentioned. The priests were descendants of Aaron, the brother of Moses, and were set apart for sacred duties in the temple. Their role was crucial in maintaining the spiritual life of Israel, serving as mediators between God and the people. Historically, the priesthood was a hereditary office, emphasizing the continuity and faithfulness of God's covenant with Israel.

Jedaiah
The name "Jedaiah" means "Yahweh has known" or "Yahweh knows." This name reflects a deep theological truth about God's omniscience and personal relationship with His people. In the context of Nehemiah, Jedaiah represents those who are known by God and chosen for His service. The mention of Jedaiah underscores the importance of divine selection and the intimate knowledge God has of those who serve Him.

son of Joiarib
The phrase "son of Joiarib" identifies Jedaiah's lineage, linking him to a specific family within the priestly order. "Joiarib" means "Yahweh contends" or "Yahweh will plead." This name suggests a God who is actively involved in the affairs of His people, defending and advocating for them. The genealogical reference highlights the importance of family heritage and the transmission of faith and duty across generations.

Jachin
The name "Jachin" means "He will establish" or "He establishes." This name is significant in the context of rebuilding and reestablishing Jerusalem and its temple worship after the Babylonian exile. Jachin's inclusion in the list of priests symbolizes stability and the fulfillment of God's promises to restore His people. Theologically, it points to God's sovereignty and His ability to establish His purposes despite human frailty and opposition.

(10) This should be read Jedaiah, Joiarib, Jachin, three priestly families (1Chronicles 9:10).

Verse 10. - Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin. Rather, "Of the priests, Jedaiah, Joiarib, Jachin." The word ben, "son," has once more accidentally crept in (comp. 1 Chronicles 9:10). The writer here passes from personal to famfiy names. Jedaiah and Joiarib were two of the chief priestly families, and are usually mentioned together (1 Chronicles 24:7; Nehemiah 12:6, 19, etc.). Jachin was a priestly family of much less distinction, descended probably from the head of the twenty-first course in David's time (1 Chronicles 24:17).
