[2:64] 1 sn The same total is given in Neh 7:66, but it is difficult to understand how this number is reached, since the numbers of people listed in the constituent groups do not add up to 42,360. The list in vv. 3-60 apparently is not intended to be exhaustive, but the basis of the selectivity is unclear.
[10:12] 1 tn Heb “thus according to your word [singular = Qere] concerning us, to do.”
[10:44] 1 tc The final statement in v. 44 is difficult in terms of both its syntax and its meaning. The present translation attempts to make sense of the MT.

NAB, NRSV, TEV, CEV).
