Ezra 8:13
Context8:13 from the descendants of Adonikam there were the latter ones. 2 Their names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men;
1 tn Aram “until a command is issued from me.”
2 tn Or “those who came later.” The exact meaning of this Hebrew phrase is uncertain. It may refer to the last remaining members of Adonikam’s family who were in Babylon. So, for example, H. G. M. Williamson, Ezra, Nehemiah (WBC), 108; cf. NASB, NIV, NCV. The phrase has also been taken to mean “the younger sons (so NAB), or the ones who “returned at a later date” (so TEV).
