of Malluch
The name "Malluch" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "counselor" or "ruler." In the context of Nehemiah, Malluch is listed among the priests who returned from the Babylonian exile. This highlights the restoration of religious leadership and the re-establishment of worship in Jerusalem. The return of such figures signifies God's faithfulness in preserving His people and their spiritual heritage. Historically, the role of priests was crucial in maintaining the covenant relationship between God and Israel, serving as mediators and teachers of the Law.

Jonathan
The name "Jonathan" means "Yahweh has given" in Hebrew. This name is common in the Old Testament and often associated with loyalty and divine provision. In this verse, Jonathan is a descendant of Malluch, indicating the continuation of a priestly line. The mention of Jonathan underscores the importance of generational faithfulness and the transmission of spiritual responsibilities. It serves as a reminder of God's ongoing provision and the blessings that come from faithful service to Him.

of Shecaniah
"Shecaniah" means "dweller with Yah" or "Yahweh has dwelt" in Hebrew. This name reflects a deep spiritual truth about God's presence among His people. In the context of Nehemiah, Shecaniah represents another priestly family that played a role in the religious revival of Jerusalem. The name itself is a testament to the belief that God dwells with those who are faithful to Him, a theme that resonates throughout the Bible. It emphasizes the importance of community and the collective worship of God.

Joseph
The name "Joseph" means "He will add" or "Jehovah has added" in Hebrew. Joseph is a significant biblical name, often associated with God's provision and blessing. In this verse, Joseph is a descendant of Shecaniah, continuing the lineage of priests. The mention of Joseph serves as a reminder of God's ability to multiply and bless His people, even in times of hardship. It reflects the hope and assurance that God will continue to add to His people, both numerically and spiritually, as they remain faithful to Him.

(14) Melicu is the "Malluch" of Nehemiah 12:2, and Hattush is omitted. Other anomalies of this kind may be noticed, of which no account can now be given.
