Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
3:21 The sons of Hananiah . . . Shecaniah (literally The son of Hananiah [was] Pelatiah and Jeshaiah, the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, the sons of Shecaniah): In Hebrew, all the names are listed as “the sons” of Hananiah, all in one generation. However, many ancient manuscripts and translations support viewing the list as covering several generations (as in the NLT) by translating “sons of” (Hebrew beney, four times) as “son of” (Hebrew beno). The resulting genealogy extends several generations from the time of Zerubbabel and his son Hananiah.
