Nehemia 2:10

2:10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official ¹  heard all this, they were very displeased that someone had come to seek benefit for the Israelites.

Nehemia 2:19

2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard all this, ²  they derided us and expressed contempt toward us. They said, “What is this you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?”

Nehemia 9:38

The People Pledge to be Faithful

9:38 (10:1) ³  “Because of all of this we are entering into a binding covenant ⁴  in written form; ⁵  our leaders, our Levites, and our priests have affixed their names ⁶  on the sealed document.”

[2:10]  ¹ tn Heb “servant” (so KJV, ASV; NAB “slave”; NCV “officer.” This phrase also occurs in v. 19.

[2:19]  ² tn The Hebrew text does not include the words “all this,” but they have been added in the translation for clarity.

[9:38]  ³ sn Beginning with 9:38, the verse numbers through 10:39 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 9:38 ET = 10:1 HT, 10:1 ET = 10:2 HT, 10:2 ET = 10:3 HT, etc., through 10:39 ET = 10:40 HT. Beginning with 11:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[9:38]  ⁴ tn Heb “we are cutting.”

[9:38]  ⁵ tn Heb “and writing.”

[9:38]  ⁶ tn Heb “our leaders, our Levites, and our priests on the sealed document.” The Hebrew text is elliptical here; the words “have affixed their names” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons. Cf. v. 2.
