Nehemia 2:7

2:7 I said to the king, “If the king is so inclined, let him give me letters for the governors of Trans-Euphrates ¹  that will enable me to travel safely until I reach Judah,

Nehemia 3:1

The Names of the Builders

3:1 Then Eliashib the high priest and his priestly colleagues ²  arose and built the Sheep Gate. They dedicated ³  it and erected its doors, working as far as the Tower of the Hundred ⁴  and ⁵  the Tower of Hananel.

Nehemia 7:46

7:46 The temple servants:

[2:7]  ¹ tn Heb “across the river,” here and often elsewhere in the Book of Nehemiah.

[3:1]  ² tn Heb “his brothers the priests.”

[3:1]  ³ tn Or “consecrated” (so NASB, NRSV); KJV, ASV “sanctified”; NCV “gave it to the Lord’s service.”

[3:1]  ⁴ tc The MT adds קִדְּשׁוּהוּ (qidshuhu, “they sanctified it”). This term is repeated from the first part of the verse, probably as an intentional scribal addition to harmonize this statement with the preceding parallel statement.

[3:1]  ⁵ tc The translation reads וְעַד (vÿ’ad, “and unto”) rather than the MT reading עַד (ad, “unto”). The original vav (ו) was probably dropped accidentally due to haplography with the final vav on the immediately preceding word in the MT.
