- 2:63cupbearer Athersatha means cupbearer, or more literally, he who is permitted to drink. this term refers to Nehemiah (cf. Nehemiah 10:1) because he was permitted to drink from the king’s wine, ordinarily considered sacrilegious by devout Jews.(Conte)
- 2:63learned and perfect The term in Latin ‘doctus atque perfectus’ is a loose translation into Latin of the Hebrew ‘Urim’ and ‘Thummim’ which are obscure terms apparently referring to a means (akin to casting lots) of determining the will of God. A priest who could effectively use such lots to determine the will of God was considered particularly insightful.(Conte)
