The offices of priests and Levites appointed in the temple. of Joiarib, Mattenai; Joiarib is a name that appears in several places in the Old Testament, often associated with priestly or Levitical lines. The name means "Yahweh contends" or "Yahweh will plead." This reflects the role of the priesthood in interceding for the people and maintaining the covenant relationship with God. Mattenai, mentioned here, is likely a descendant or member of the priestly division of Joiarib. The division of Joiarib was one of the 24 priestly courses established by King David (1 Chronicles 24:7). This system was designed to organize the priestly duties in the temple, ensuring that worship and sacrifices were conducted in an orderly manner. The mention of Mattenai in this context underscores the continuity of the priestly service from the time of David through the post-exilic period, highlighting the restoration of religious practices after the Babylonian exile. of Jedaiah, Uzzi; Persons / Places / Events 1. MalluchA priestly figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the priests who returned from the Babylonian exile. His name is associated with the priestly division, indicating his role in the temple service. 2. Jonathan Another priestly figure, likely a descendant of one of the priestly families. His inclusion in the list underscores the continuity of priestly service and the importance of maintaining genealogical records. 3. Shekaniah A name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with priestly or Levitical roles. In this context, Shekaniah represents a family line within the priestly divisions. 4. Joseph A common name in the Bible, here representing a priestly family. His mention alongside Shekaniah suggests a continuation of the priestly duties and responsibilities. 5. Priestly Divisions The context of this verse is a listing of the priestly divisions that served in the temple. These divisions were crucial for the orderly worship and service in the temple, reflecting the organizational structure established by King David. Teaching Points The Importance of Order in WorshipThe listing of priestly divisions underscores the need for order and structure in worship. Just as the Israelites had specific roles and responsibilities, modern believers are called to serve in their unique capacities within the body of Christ. Continuity of Faithful Service The genealogical records remind us of the importance of continuity in faith and service. We are part of a long line of believers, and our faithfulness today impacts future generations. God's Faithfulness in Restoration The return of the priestly divisions after exile is a testament to God's faithfulness in restoring His people. This encourages us to trust in God's promises and His ability to restore and renew our lives. The Role of Leadership in Spiritual Life The priests and their divisions played a crucial role in leading the people in worship. This highlights the importance of godly leadership in guiding and nurturing the spiritual life of a community.Verse 19. - And of Joiarib. The conjunction "and' occurring here, exactly as it does in ver. 6, once only in the whole list, and before the same name, shows that the two documents (Nehemiah 12:1-7, 12-21) are from the same hand. That the hand is that of Nehemiah, or a contemporary, seems to follow from the fact that no reason can be assigned for the division, or for the low place in the lists of the names Joiarib and Jedaiah, except the failure of these families to set their seals to the covenant (see the comment on ver. 6). PARENTHETIC STATEMENT OF THE TIME DOWN TO WHICH EXACT LISTS OF THE LEADING PRIESTS AND LEVITES WERE KEPT (Nehemiah 12:22, 23). These verses appear to constitute a late insertion. They interrupt the list of high church officers in the time of Joiakim, which is commenced in ver. 12 and not concluded till ver. 26. By their mention of Jaddua as high priest, and of "Darius the Persian" as contemporary king, they betray a writer who lived at least as late as B.C. 336, or nearly a century after the time of Nehemiah's religious reforms. The facts put on record by this writer are not of very much importance. They seem to be simply these: - 1. That the practice of accurately recording the heads of the priestly and Levitical courses, which Nehemiah has noted as belonging to the days of Joiakim, was continued under his successors, Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, down (at any rate) to the accession of Darius Codomannus; and, 2. That in the case of the Levites the lists were inserted into the book of the chronicles - not our "Book," but that larger one, of which ours is in the main an abbreviation - down to the time of Johanan, the son (or, rather, grandson) of Eliashib. It has been supposed that the writer originally accompanied these statements with lists that have been lost, but this does not appear to be probable.
