Nehemiah 13:8-9

13:8 I was very upset, and I threw all of Tobiah’s household possessions out of the storeroom. 13:9 Then I gave instructions that the storerooms should be purified, and I brought back the equipment ⁵  of the temple of God, along with the grain offering and the incense.

¹ tn Heb “cause to stand on us.”

² tc The MT reads “to give upon us.” However, the term עָלֵינוּ (’alenu, “upon us”) should probably be deleted, following a few medieval Hebrew MSS, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate.

³ tn Heb “house” (also in vv. 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39).

⁴ tc The translation reads the plural rather than the singular of the MT.

⁷ tn On the usage of this Hebrew word see HALOT 478-79 s.v. כְּלִי.

¹⁰ tn Heb “and I stood them on their standing.”
