NET Notes: Neh 11:35 Heb “Ge-harashim,” which could be left untranslated as a place name.
1 tc The translation reads וְגֵי (vÿgey, “and the valley”) rather than the MT reading גֵּי (gey, “the valley”). The original vav (ו) probably dropped out accidentally due to haplography with the final vav on the immediately preceding word.
2 tnHeb “Ge-harashim,” which could be left untranslated as a place name.
