The speaker sends the chief men and the teachers to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia

말하는 이가 족장들과 명철한 사람들을 가시뱌 지방의 족장 잇도에게 보냄

Ezra 8:15–20: the text says, “I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days. Then I looked around at the people and the priests, and found there were none of the sons of Levi.” The speaker (“I”) sends for the chief men named at 8:16 (Eliezer to Meshullam) and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were teachers, and the text goes on, “I sent them out to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo and his brothers the temple servants at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God. According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen; and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty; and of the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred twenty temple servants. All of them were mentioned by name.” The Korean Revised Version names the man of discretion and Sherebiah apart at 8:18 (한 명철한 사람을 데려오고 또 세레뱌와, brought a man of discretion, and also Sherebiah), where WEB makes the man of discretion Sherebiah; it reads 거기서 삼일 동안 장막에 유하며, with no word for “we”, at 8:15, 명철한 사람 (men of understanding) where WEB reads “who were teachers” (8:16), and at 8:17 할 말을 일러주고 … 데리고 오라 하였더니, told them what to say and bade them bring those who would serve.
