Nehemiah 4:23

4:23 We did not change clothes ¹  – not I, nor my relatives, nor my workers, nor the watchmen who were with me. Each had his weapon, even when getting a drink of water. ² 

Nehemiah 9:11

9:11 You split the sea before them, and they crossed through ³  the sea on dry ground! But you threw their pursuers ⁴  into the depths, like a stone into surging ⁵  waters.

Nehemiah 12:37

12:37 They went over the Fountain Gate and continued directly up the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall. They passed the house of David and continued on to the Water Gate toward the east.

Nehemiah 13:2

13:2 for they had not met the Israelites with food ⁶  and water, but instead had hired Balaam to curse them. (Our God, however, turned the curse into blessing.)

¹ tn Heb “strip off our garments.”

² tc Heb “a man, his weapon, the waters.” The MT, if in fact it is correct, is elliptical and difficult. Some scholars emend the MT reading הַמָּיִם (hammayim, “the waters”) to בִּמִנוֹ (bimino, “in his right hand”; cf. NAB, NRSV) or מִינוּ(י)הֵ (heminu, “they held on the right side”).

³ tn Heb “in the midst of.”

⁴ tn Heb “those who pursued them.”

⁵ tn Heb “mighty.”

⁵ tn Heb “bread.” The Hebrew term is generic here, however, referring to more than bread alone.
