Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezra 2:6
The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua [and] Joab, two thousand eight hundred and twelve.
6. The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab ] Pahath = ruler of. We must suppose that the founder of this family had exercised rule over some portion of the Moabite territory. We learn from 1Ch 4:22 that certain members of the tribe of Judah ‘had the dominion in Moab’. Probably this family belonged to the tribe of Judah. The word Pahath was commonly in use in Assyria, and is similar to the term for ‘governor’. Part of this family returned with Ezra (Ezr 8:4): certain members of it are mentioned in Ezr 10:30; Neh 3:11.
Jeshua and Joab ] In the original ‘Jeshua Joab’. These were special branches of the main family.
