Footnotes
- 3:5 Bat-Shua, Ammiels dotter Variant av Bat-Seba, Eliams dotter (2 Sam 11:3).
- 3:12 Asarja Kallades också Ussia (jfr 2 Kung 15:1, 2 Krön 26:1, Matt 1:8).
- 3:17 Jekonjas söner i fångenskap var: hans son Shealtiel Annan översättning: ”Jekonjas söner var Assir och dennes son Shealtiel”. Jekonja är en variant av Jojakin (2 Kung 24:6f).
- 3:19 Shelomit Ett sigill från 500-talet f Kr har hittats med namnet ”Shelomit, Elnatans tjänarinna”. Elnatan anses vara den ståthållare som efterträdde Serubbabel (Esra 2:2f med not).
- 3:19 Pedaja Serubbabel kallas på andra ställen för Shealtiels son (t ex Esra 3:2). Kanske beror det dubbla faderskapet på lagen om leviratäktenskap (5 Mos 25:5f, Luk 3:23, 20:28): om en man avled skulle hans bror ta till sig änkan, och deras första barn skulle räknas som den dödes ättling.
- 3:22 Hattush Nämns i Esra 8:2 bland dem som kom från Babel till Jerusalem 458 f Kr.
- 3:24 Eljoenajs söner Troligen den generation av Davids kungaätt som levde under bokens tillkomsttid under andra hälften av 400-talet f Kr.
