Nehemiah 4:9

4:9 So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard to protect against them ¹  both day and night.

Nehemiah 10:32

10:32 We accept responsibility for fulfilling ²  the commands to give ³  one third of a shekel each year for the work of the temple ⁴  of our God,

Nehemiah 13:4

13:4 But prior to this time, Eliashib the priest, a relative of Tobiah, had been appointed over the storerooms ⁵  of the temple of our God.

¹ tn Heb “against them.” The words “to protect” are added in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness. Some emend MT עֲלֵיהֶם (’alehem, “against them”) to עָלֶיהָ (’aleha, “against it,” i.e., Jerusalem).

² tn Heb “cause to stand on us.”

³ 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.

⁴ tn Heb “house” (also in vv. 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39).

³ tc The translation reads the plural rather than the singular of the MT.
