Nehemia 2:11-12

Nehemiah Arrives in Jerusalem

2:11 So I came to Jerusalem. ¹  When I had been there for three days, 2:12 I got up during the night, along with a few men who were with me. But I did not tell anyone what my God was putting on my heart to do for Jerusalem. There were no animals with me, except for the one ²  I was riding.

Nehemia 2:14

2:14 I passed on to the Gate of the Well and the King’s Pool, where there was not enough room for my animal to pass with me.

Nehemia 7:68-69

7:68 They had 736 horses, 245 mules, 7:69 (7:68) ³  435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.

Nehemia 13:15

13:15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath, bringing in heaps of grain and loading them onto donkeys, along with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of loads, and bringing them to Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them on the day that they sold these provisions.

[2:12]  ² tn Heb “the animal.”

[7:69]  ³ tc Most Hebrew MSS omit 7:68 ET, which reads “They had 736 horses, 245 mules,” and thus have one less verse in chap. 7, ending the chapter at 7:72. This verse is included in the LXX and most English versions. Cf. Ezra 2:66.
