The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur,
The verse stands within the renewed numbering of the Jews given in Nehemiah 7. That numbering was made after the wall was finished in fifty-two days, when proper officers and watches were appointed, in B.C. 444. The verse belongs to the record of Babylonian life in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah. That record is part of the Bible narrative confirmed by discoveries in ancient lands adjoining Israel that had dealings with that people.
