¹ tn Or “the Old Gate” (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NCV, NRSV, NLT).

² tc The translation reads נֶגֶד (neged, “before”) with a few medieval Hebrew MSS, some MSS of the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate, rather than וְנֶגֶד (vÿneged, “and before”) of the MT.

³ tn Heb “the house of Eliashib.” This has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁴ tc The MT lacks the phrase אַחֲרָיו הֶחֱזִיק (’akharayv hekheziq, “after him worked”). This phrase is used repeatedly in Neh 3:16-31 to introduce each worker and his location. It probably dropped out accidentally through haplography.

⁵ tn Heb “house of the king.”

⁵ tn Or “the Book of the Annals” (so NRSV); NLT “The Book of History.”

⁶ tn Heb “the priest, the scribe.”

⁷ tn Heb “give.”
