Nehemia 8:17

8:17 So all the assembly which had returned from the exile constructed temporary shelters and lived in them. The Israelites had not done so from the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day. Everyone experienced very great joy. ¹ 

Nehemia 9:10

9:10 You performed awesome signs ²  against Pharaoh, against his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that the Egyptians ³  had acted presumptuously ⁴  against them. You made for yourself a name that is celebrated to this day.

[8:17]  ¹ tn Heb “And there was very great joy.”

[9:10]  ² tn Heb “signs and wonders.” This phrase is a hendiadys. The second noun functions adjectivally, while the first noun retains its full nominal sense: “awesome signs” or “miraculous signs.”

[9:10]  ³ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Egyptians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:10]  ⁴ tn Or “arrogantly” (so NASB); NRSV “insolently.”
