What Does Nehemiah 12:16 Mean?
The heads of two more priestly families are recorded. The Zechariah of Iddo's house here is the family of the prophet Zechariah, who urged the people to finish the temple.
Prophets and priests serve side by side in God's work, one calling the people forward, the other keeping them near the altar. The record quietly links the worship of the temple to the voice that stirred it to life.
