SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:73
Y habitaron los sacerdotes y los levitas, y los porteros, y los cantores, y los del pueblo, y los netineos, y todo Israel, en sus ciudades. Y venido el mes séptimo, los hijos de Israel estaban en sus ciudades.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 7:73
Verse 73. All Israel, dwelt in their cities] It was in reference to this particularly that the public registers were examined; for by them they found the different families, and consequently the cities, villages, &c., which belonged to them, according to the ancient division of the lands. It seems that the examination of the registers occupied about a month; for as soon as the walls were finished, which was in the sixth month, (Elul,) chap. vi. 15, Nehemiah instituted the examination mentioned in this chapter, vii. 5; and by the concluding verse we find that the different families had got into their paternal cities in the seventh month, Tisri, answering to a part of our September and October. Thus the register determined every thing: there was no room for complaint, and none to accuse the governor of partiality.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 73. So the priests and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities , etc.] The same is said in ( Ezra 2:70), (see Gill on “ Ezra 2:70”), and, when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities ; the month Tisri, answering to part of September, in which month was the feast of tabernacles; at this time of the year they were in their cities when they came forth out of Babylon, and so they were now; (see Ezra 3:1).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-73 - Nehemiah knew that the safety of a city, under God, depends more upo the inhabitants than upon its walls. Every good gift and every goo work are from above. God gives knowledge, he gives grace; all is of him, and therefore all must be to him. What is done by human prudence must be ascribed to the direction of Divine Providence. But woe to those who turn back from the Lord, loving this present world! and happ those who dedicate themselves, and their substance, to his service an glory __________________________________________________________________
