When the seventh month arrived and the Israelites ²  were settled in their cities, ³ 

Nehemiah 10:28

10:28 “Now the rest of the people – the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple attendants, and all those who have separated themselves from the neighboring peoples ⁴  because of the law of God, along with their wives, their sons, and their daughters, all of whom are able to understand –

Nehemiah 10:39

10:39 The Israelites and the Levites will bring the contribution of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil to the storerooms where the utensils of the sanctuary are kept, and where the priests who minister stay, along with the gatekeepers and the singers.

¹ tn Heb “the sons of Israel.” So also in vv. 14, 17; 9:1.

² tn The traditional understanding of the chapter and verse division here is probably incorrect. The final part of v. 73 is best understood as belonging with 8:1.

¹ tn Heb “from the peoples of the lands.” Cf. vv. 30, 31.
