Nehemiah 7:61

7:61 These are the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer (although they were unable to certify ⁴  their family connection ⁵  or their ancestry, ⁶  as to whether they were really from Israel):

¹ tn Or “a person born of an illegitimate marriage.”

² tn Heb “enter the assembly of the Lord.” The phrase “do so” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

³ sn Concessions were made to the Edomites and Egyptians (as compared to the others listed in vv. 1-6) because the Edomites (i.e., Esauites) were full “brothers” of Israel and the Egyptians had provided security and sustenance for Israel for more than four centuries.

⁴ tn Heb “relate.”

⁵ tn Heb “the house of their fathers.”

⁶ tn Heb “their seed.”
