From the priests
This phrase introduces a specific group within the Israelite community, the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, the brother of Moses. The Hebrew word for "priests" is "כֹּהֲנִים" (kohanim), which signifies those who are set apart for sacred duties. The role of the priests was central to the religious life of Israel, as they were responsible for performing sacrifices, maintaining the temple, and teaching the law. This highlights the importance of spiritual leadership and the continuity of worship practices in post-exilic Israel.

Jedaiah
The name "Jedaiah" in Hebrew is "יְדַעְיָה" (Yeda'yah), meaning "Yahweh knows" or "Yahweh has known." This name reflects a deep trust in God's omniscience and personal involvement in the lives of His people. Jedaiah's inclusion in the list of priests underscores the continuity of the priestly line and the faithfulness of God in preserving His chosen servants through the generations.

Jehoiarib
The name "Jehoiarib" is derived from the Hebrew "יְהוֹיָרִיב" (Yehoiariv), meaning "Yahweh contends" or "Yahweh will plead." This name suggests a divine advocacy and protection over His people. Historically, Jehoiarib was the head of one of the twenty-four priestly divisions established by King David (1 Chronicles 24:7). This division of labor among the priests ensured that the temple services were conducted with order and regularity, reflecting God's desire for structure and reverence in worship.

Jachin
The name "Jachin" comes from the Hebrew "יָכִין" (Yakin), meaning "He will establish" or "He establishes." This name is significant as it conveys a sense of stability and permanence, which is fitting for the priestly role in maintaining the spiritual foundation of the nation. Jachin was also the name of one of the two pillars at the entrance of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 7:21), symbolizing strength and stability. The mention of Jachin in this context serves as a reminder of God's enduring covenant with His people and His promise to establish them in the land.

(10-13) The priests resident in Jerusalem. (Comp. Nehemiah 11:10-14.)

(10) And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jaehin.--These three names do not designate persons, but three of the priestly courses, or classes, instituted by David according to 1 Chronicles 24, of which Jehoiarib was the first, Jedaiah the second, and Jachin the twenty-first. Nehemiah 11:10 has "Jehoiarib son of Jedaiah," a mistake of the scribe. (Comp. 1Chronicles 9:7 and Note; cf. also Ezra 2:36; Nehemiah 12:6.) . . .

Verse 10. - This verse is correct in not calling (as does Nehemiah 11:10) Jedaiah the son of Jehoiarib, or as it is there written Joiarib. The origin of the names of these three priest families is found in 1 Chronicles 24:7, 17.
