Ver. 63. The Tirshatha— Tirshata, or Athirshata, the same as Nehemiah. The word תרשׁתא Tirshatha is the name of his employment, and signifies the king's cup-bearer, says Calmet. Some however think, that Zerubbabel, rather, is meant here. See Nehemiah 1:11. The meaning of the words till there stood up a priest, &c. seems to be, till the Lord himself should decide, by means of the high-priest, whether they were the sons of Aaron or not.
