Nehemia 1:6

1:6 may your ear be attentive and your eyes be open to hear the prayer of your servant that I am praying to you today throughout both day and night on behalf of your servants the Israelites. I am confessing the sins of the Israelites that we have committed ¹  against you – both I myself and my family ²  have sinned.

Nehemia 10:28

10:28 “Now the rest of the people – the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple attendants, and all those who have separated themselves from the neighboring peoples ³  because of the law of God, along with their wives, their sons, and their daughters, all of whom are able to understand –

Nehemia 13:5

13:5 He made for himself a large storeroom where previously they had been keeping ⁴  the grain offering, the incense, and the vessels, along with the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil as commanded for the Levites, the singers, the gate keepers, and the offering for the priests.

[1:6]  ¹ tn Heb “have sinned.” For stylistic reasons – to avoid redundancy in English – this was translated as “committed.”

[1:6]  ² tn Heb “the house of my father.”

[10:28]  ³ tn Heb “from the peoples of the lands.” Cf. vv. 30, 31.

[13:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “giving.”
