Nehemiah 9:10

9:10 You performed awesome signs ¹  against Pharaoh, against his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that the Egyptians ²  had acted presumptuously ³  against them. You made for yourself a name that is celebrated to this day.

Nehemiah 10:38

10:38 A priest of Aaron’s line ⁴  will be with the Levites when the Levites collect the tithes, and the Levites will bring up a tenth of the tithes to the temple of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury.

¹ tn Heb “signs and wonders.” This phrase is a hendiadys. The second noun functions adjectivally, while the first noun retains its full nominal sense: “awesome signs” or “miraculous signs.”

² tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Egyptians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Or “arrogantly” (so NASB); NRSV “insolently.”

⁴ tn Heb “And the priest the son of Aaron.”
