Nehemiah 7:39

The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.

Cross-reference

Nehemiah 11:10 again mentions Jedaiah among priests settling in Jerusalem, reinforcing the family's presence.

Ezra 2:36 Parallel

Ezra 2:36 gives the exact same count (973) for the sons of Jedaiah, confirming the parallel census record.

1 Chronicles 24:7-19 assigns Jedaiah as the second priestly course, matching the priestly family listed here. Both record the same division.
