In the context of Nehemiah 12, Shecaniah is listed among the priests who returned with Zerubbabel and Jeshua.

Teaching Points The Importance of NamesIn the Bible, names often carry significant meanings that reflect character or divine purpose. Understanding the meanings of names like Shecaniah, Rehum, and Meremoth can deepen our appreciation for the roles these individuals played in God's plan. Continuity of God's Work The presence of these priests in both Ezra and Nehemiah underscores the continuity of God's work through generations. It reminds us that God is faithful to His promises and works through His people over time. Role of Priests The priests were central to the spiritual life of Israel, serving as mediators between God and the people. This highlights the importance of spiritual leadership and the need for dedicated individuals to guide communities in faith. Community Involvement in Worship The dedication of the wall was a communal event involving various leaders and groups. This teaches us the value of community participation in worship and the collective effort required to honor God. Symbolism of the Wall The wall of Jerusalem symbolizes protection and separation from the world. In a spiritual sense, it represents the boundaries we set to maintain our faith and integrity in a secular world.Verse 3. - Shechaniah Rather, "Shebaniah," as the name is given in Nehemiah 10:4 and Nehemiah 12:14. Rehum. Rather, "Harim," which is found in ver. 15, and also in Nehemiah 10:5. Compare, moreover, Ezra 2:39; Nehemiah 7:42. Meremoth is probably correct, though altered to Meraioth in ver. 15, since we find Meremoth in Nehemiah 10:5. Parallel Commentaries ...
