Nehemiah 3:30

3:30 After him ¹  Hananiah son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, worked on another section. After them Meshullam son of Berechiah worked opposite his quarters.

Nehemiah 13:13

13:13 I gave instructions ²  that Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a certain Levite named Pedaiah be put in charge of ³  the storerooms, and that Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, be their assistant, ⁴  for they were regarded as trustworthy. It was then their responsibility to oversee the distribution to their colleagues. ⁵ 

¹ tc The translation reads אַחֲרָיו (’akharayv, “after him”) with the Qere and many medieval Hebrew MSS, rather than the reading אַחֲרֵי (’akharey, “after me”) of the MT. So also in v. 31.

² tc Probably one should read with the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וָאֲצַוֶּה (va’atsavveh, “and I commanded”) rather than the rare denominative verb וָאוֹצְרָה (va’otsÿrah, “and I appointed over the storeroom”) of the MT.

³ tn Heb “be over”

⁴ tn Heb “on their hand.”

⁵ tn Heb “brothers.”
