The Origins of the List of Names in Nehemiah Chapter Seven
The orig of the list of names in this chapter divides commentators, especially given its relationship with the list of nehemiah chapter seven. Hugh williamson argues that the list seems to be composite and is best not to understand it as a reference to a single event. The early origins of the text are suggested by various considerations. James jordan has claimed that the nehemiah and mordecai mentioned in verse are the famous persons of those names. I do not find this position persuasive.
