Deu 21:7<\/span>; Deu 27:14<\/span>), with the sense of ‘And their brethren responded to them in choral antiphon.’ This suggestion, however, apart from grammatical objections, requires us to suppose that Bakbukiah’s name has been interpolated. For this there is no evidence; and so far as the sense is concerned, the idea of antiphonal singing is sufficiently expressed in our own text. The confusion between ‘Unno’ and ‘Unni’ arises from the commonest source of variation in the Hebrew text, the similarity of Yod and Vv ( and ). But the original reading was very probably ‘Also Bakbukiah and Unni [and] their brethren;’ Yd, the last letter of Unni, having fallen out before the Vv, the Vv became, instead of the copula, the last letter of ‘Unno.’ Another conjectural and less probable emendation of the text is to read ‘Obadiah’ instead of ‘Unni,’ in order to bring the verse in closer correspondence with Neh 12:25<\/span>.<\/p>\n over against them<\/em> ] The same expression as in 2Ch 7:6<\/span>, ‘The priests sounded trumpets before them,’ where probably the meaning is ‘over against, i.e. in answer to, the Levites:’ See also Neh 12:24<\/span>.<\/p>\n in the watches<\/em> ] R.V. in wards.<\/strong> LXX. . Vulg. ‘in officio suo.’ The Hebrew could equally well be rendered ‘as watches, i.e. for the purpose of keeping watch.’ But the sense required is more probably ‘according to wards,’ ‘in wards by rotation.’ Cf.
