[3:7]  ¹ tn Heb “to the seat.”

[3:21]  ² tn Heb “the house of Eliashib.” This has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[4:1]  ³ sn Beginning with 4:1, the verse numbers through 4:23 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 4:1 ET = 3:33 HT, 4:2 ET = 3:34 HT, 4:3 ET = 3:35 HT, 4:4 ET = 3:36 HT, 4:5 ET = 3:37 HT, 4:6 ET = 3:38 HT, 4:7 ET = 4:1 HT, etc., through 4:23 ET = 4:17 HT. Thus in the Hebrew Bible chap. 3 of the Book of Nehemiah has 38 verses, while chap. 4 has only 17 verses.

[4:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “against them.” The words “to protect” are added in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness. Some emend MT עֲלֵיהֶם (’alehem, “against them”) to עָלֶיהָ (’aleha, “against it,” i.e., Jerusalem).

[5:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “for the tax of the king.”

[11:17]  ⁶ tc The translation reads with the Lucianic Greek recension and Vulgate הַתְּהִלָה (hattÿhilah, “the praise”) rather than the MT reading הַתְּחִלָּה (hattÿkhillah, “the beginning”).

[11:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “the temple attendants.” The pronoun “them” has been substituted in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[12:40]  ⁸ tn Heb “stood.”

[13:4]  ⁹ tc The translation reads the plural rather than the singular of the MT.

[13:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “give a dwelling to.”
