Nehemiah
three persons of this name are mentioned in Scripture: One who came with Zerubbabel from Babythe son of Azbuk (Neh. iii: 16); and lon (Ezra ii: 2; Neh. vii: 7) another, lastly the celebrated Jewish leader, the son of Hachaliah (Neh. i: 1), and brother of Hanani (i: 2, vii: 2).
In modern Hebrew Bibles, as that of Van der Hooght, the Book of Nehemiah is distinct from that of Ezra, immediately following it as one of the Hagiographia.
In the Jewish canon, however, the two were treated as a single work. No quotation from the book occurs in the New Testament. The Septuagint translation of the book is badly executed.
