נחמיה, פרק י״ב, פסוק י״ד

The ongoing historical record documents the specific leaders who stood at the head of prominent families. One such group is the family of Malluch, a household that was noted in an earlier period [רלב״ג]. During this era, the leadership of this family was held by a man named Jonathan [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

Immediately following them is the family of Shebaniah. The responsibility of guiding this particular household rested on Joseph [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
