Ezra 8:18

SCRIPTURE

"And according to the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;" — Ezra 8:18 (ASV)

And Sherebiah - Either a name has fallen out before the words a man of understanding, or the “and” here has crept into the text by accident. Sherebiah appears among the most earnest of the Levites under Nehemiah (see the marginal references).
