Nehemiah 7:68

Their horses , etc. - The whole of this verse is wanting in fifty of Kennicott' s MSS., and in twenty-nine of those of De Rossi, in the edition of Rab. Chayim, 1525, in the Roman Edit. of the Septuagint; also in the Syriac and in the Arabic. It should however be observed, that the Arabic omits the whole list, having nothing of the chapter but the first five verses. The whole is found in the parallel place, Ezra 2:66. Calmet' s note on this passage is incorrect.
