Nehemia 7:8

7:8 the descendants ¹⁰  of Parosh, 2,172;

[6:19]  ¹ tn Heb “my words.”

[6:19]  ² tn Or “to intimidate” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[6:8]  ³ tn Heb “We are not according to these matters that you are saying.”

[6:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “For from your heart you are inventing them.”

[2:6]  ⁵ tn Or “queen,” so most English versions (cf. HALOT 1415 s.v. שֵׁגַל); TEV “empress.”

[2:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “It was good before the king and he sent me.”

[2:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “will arise and build.” The idiom “arise and…” means to begin the action described by the second verb.

[2:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “portion or right or remembrance.” The expression is probably a hendiatris: The first two nouns retain their full nominal function, while the third noun functions adjectivally (“right or remembrance” = “ancient right”).

[3:15]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew word translated “Siloam” is הַשֶּׁלַח (hashelakh, “water-channel”; cf. ASV, NASB, NRSV, TEV, CEV “Shelah”). It apparently refers to the Pool of Siloam whose water supply came from the Gihon Spring via Hezekiah’s Tunnel built in 701 B.C. (cf. Isa 8:6). See BDB 1019 s.v. שִׁלֹחַ; W. L. Holladay, Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon, 372. On the etymology of the word, which is a disputed matter, see HALOT 1517 s.v. III שֶׁלַח.

[7:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the sons of.”
