Here Jerome adds, in the Vulgate, {Hucusque refertur quid in
   commentario scriptum fuerit; exin Nehemi(9120)historia texitur:}
   "Thus far do the words extend which were written in the
   register; what follows belongs to the history of Nehemiah."
   This addition is not found in the Hebrew, or any ancient
   version:  it is also wanting in the Paris and Complutensian
   Polyglotts; but is found in the Editio Prima of the Vulgate.
   What follows, however, seems to relate to a distinct oblation
   from that recorded in Ezra; and was probably made after the
   people were registered by Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, or
   governor, at this time, as Zerubbabel had been at the first
   return of the Jews from captivity.  Blessed be God that our
   faith and hope are not built upon the niceties of names and
   numbers, genealogy and chronology, but on the great things of
   the law and gospel.  Whatever is given to the work of God and
   his cause will surely be remembered by him (Heb 6:10).
