NEHEMIAH—NOTE ON Nehemiah 12:12 Joiakim was high priest after Jeshua (see v. Nehemiah 12:10), so this list gives the priests in his day, including Ezra 1:1 (v. Nehemiah 12:13). heads of fathers’ houses (v. Nehemiah 12:12). The list proceeds by family names: thus, Meraiah was priest in the (priestly) family of Seraiah.
