Ezra3:9

Verſe 9. Then ſtood Jeſhua] Not the High-Prieſt, but another, a Levite.

The ſonnes of Henadad with their ſonnes] A generation of godly and active men in the things of God, See Nehem. 3.18.24. and 10.9. Grace is not hereditary, the white Halegons hatch black young ones: Heroum filii noxae. Nevertheleſſe, nurture helpeth nature: and good men ſtrive to mend that by education, which they have marred by propagation. They cocker not, but correct their children; they pray for them, and drop good principles into them; they ſmooth them as arrowes, Pſal. 128.3, 4. getting off the knottineſſe of their nature; and leave not till they ſee them the work of Gods hands, ſo as to ſanctifie the holy One of Jacob, and to feare the God of Iſrael, Eſay 29.23. Theſe ſonnes of Henadad, as they attended upon the Temple-work, ſo themſelves were as the poliſhed corners of the Temple, Pſal. 144.12.
