The Pulpit Commentary on Nehemiah 7:73

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And all Israel dwelt in their cities. The document found by Nehemiah (verse 5) probably ended with these words (romp. Ezra 2:70); and Nehemiah 7:1-73. should here terminate, as it does in the Septuagint. Having completed the account of what happened in the sixth month, Elul (Nehemiah 6:15), and transcribed the register which he had the good fortune to discover at that date, Nehemiah proceeds to relate events belonging to the seventh month.
