4:6 So we rebuilt the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height. 1 The people were enthusiastic in their work. 2
12:31 I brought the leaders of Judah up on top of the wall, and I appointed two large choirs to give thanks. One was to proceed 3 on the top of the wall southward toward the Dung Gate.
12:38 The second choir was proceeding 4 in the opposite direction. I followed them, along with half the people, on top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
1 tn Heb “up to its half.”
2 tn Heb “the people had a heart to work.”
3 tc The translation reads וְהָאַחַת הֹלֶכֶת (vÿha’akhat holekhet, “and one was proceeding”) rather than the MT reading וְתַהֲלֻכֹת (vÿtahalukhot, “and processions”).
5 tc The translation reads הוֹלֶכֶת (holekhet, “was proceeding”) rather than the MT הַהוֹלֶכֶת (haholekhet, “the one proceeding”). The MT probably reflects dittography – accidental writing of ה (hey) twice instead of once.
