ArchivedSOME CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE :: Re: SOME CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLEAccording to the Jamison, Fausset, and Brown commentary 1:289: It is probable that all mentioned as belonging to this family repaired to the general place of rendezvous, or had enrolled their names at first as intending to go; but in the interval of preperation, some died, others were prevented by sickness or insurmountable obstacles, so that ultimately no more than 652 [sc. of the family of Arah] came to Jerusalem. [ibid., 1:297] The discrepency is sufficiently accounted for from the different circumstances in which the two registers were taken: that of Ezra having been made up at Babylon, while that of Nehemiah was drawn out in Judea, after the walls of Jerusalem had been rebuilt. The lapse of so many years might well be expected to make a difference appear in the catalogue, through death or other casualties. |
