The fact that, while only thirty-three kindreds and placed are enumerated in <a href="http://biblehub.com/ezra/2.htm">Ezra 2</a>, forty-four occur here, - although names of kindreds mentioned in <a href="http://biblehub.com/ezra/2.htm">Ezra 2</a>, e.g., Shephatiah, Arah, Zaccai, etc., are wanting here, - is to be explained partly by the circumstance that these kindreds included several houses whose different heads all subscribed, and partly by fresh accessions during the course of years to the number of houses. <div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 Interlinear</a><br /><a href="/texts/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 Parallel Texts</a><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/niv/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="http://bibleapps.com/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 Bible Apps</a><br /><a href="/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 Parallel</a><br /><a href="http://bibliaparalela.com/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="http://holybible.com.cn/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="http://saintebible.com/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 French Bible</a><br /><a href="http://bibeltext.com/nehemiah/10-19.htm">Nehemiah 10:19 German Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a><br /></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="../nehemiah/10-18.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Nehemiah 10:18"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Nehemiah 10:18" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../nehemiah/10-20.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Nehemiah 10:20"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Nehemiah 10:20" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
