Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezra 8:14

Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.

14. The house of Bigvai is represented by two names, though the parallel passage of 1Es 8:40 gives but one, i.e. Uthi the son of Istalcurus.

Zabbud ] R.V. marg. Another reading is Zaccur. The variation illustrates the liability to confusion, in the MSS., between and ( bth = b and caph = c), and and ( dleth = d and rsh = r).

Ezr 8:14 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.

Ver. 14. And with them seventy males ] The whole company consisted of one thousand four hundred ninety and six males: a good addition to those that went up before with Zerubbabel; yet nothing so many as might have been, but that they wanted hearts.

Thebarum portae, vel divitis ostia Nili (Juvenal, Sat. 13).
