Nehemiah 9:38

The People Pledge to be Faithful

9:38 (10:1) ⁴  “Because of all of this we are entering into a binding covenant ⁵  in written form; ⁶  our leaders, our Levites, and our priests have affixed their names ⁷  on the sealed document.”

¹ tn Heb “entered into a covenant.”

² tn Heb “fathers.”

³ tn Heb “Like me, like you; and like your people, my people; and with you in battle.”

⁴ 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.

⁵ tn Heb “we are cutting.”

⁶ tn Heb “and writing.”

⁷ 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.
