[1:3]  ¹ tn Heb “great.”

[1:3]  ² tn Heb “have been burned with fire” (so also in Neh 2:17). The expression “burned with fire” is redundant in contemporary English; the translation uses “burned down” for stylistic reasons.

[2:3]  ³ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 5).

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “devoured” or “eaten” (so also in Neh 2:13).

[3:6]  ⁵ tn Or “the Old Gate” (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NCV, NRSV, NLT).

[3:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “Miphkad Gate” (so TEV; KJV similar); NRSV “Muster Gate.”

[12:31]  ⁹ tc The translation reads וְהָאַחַת הֹלֶכֶת (vÿha’akhat holekhet, “and one was proceeding”) rather than the MT reading וְתַהֲלֻכֹת (vÿtahalukhot, “and processions”).
