Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezra 8:5
Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males.
5. The Hebrew text gives Shechaniah as the house, but fails to give the name of its representative. ‘Shecaniah’ does not occur in the other lists as the name of a house. The text of 1 Esdr. has ‘of the sons of Zathoe, Shechenias the son of Jezelus’ ( 1Es 8:32 ). ‘Zathoe’ is the same as Zattu (Ezr 2:8). This name has most probably accidentally dropped out. We should therefore read “Of the sons of Zattu, Shechaniah the son of Jahaziel’, i.e. Shechaniah is the representative of the house of Zattu: so also the LXX. ( ).

Ver. 5. The son of Jahaziel ] The father is named, but not the son: but why, who can tell? Et patet et lucet pagina sacra. He is both well know and conspicuous by the sacred page.
