2 Chronicles 27:3

27:3 He built the Upper Gate to the Lord’s temple and did a lot of work on the wall in the area known as Ophel.

Nehemiah 3:26-27

3:26 and the temple servants who were living on Ophel worked up to the area opposite the Water Gate toward the east and the protruding tower. 3:27 After them the men of Tekoa worked on another section, from opposite the great protruding tower to the wall of Ophel.


tn Heb “wall of Ophel.” See HALOT 861 s.v. II עֹפֶל.

tc The Hebrew text lacks the verb “worked.” It is implied, however, and has been supplied in the translation.
