Nehemiah 10:10

10:10 Their colleagues ¹  were as follows:

Shebaniah, Hodiah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan,

Nehemiah 8:7

8:7 Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah – all of whom were Levites ²  – were teaching the people the law, as the people remained standing.

[10:10]  ¹ tn Heb “brothers” (also in v. 30).

[8:7]  ² tc The MT reads “and the Levites.” The conjunction (“and”) should be deleted, following the LXX, Aquila, and the Vulgate. That the vav (ו) of the MT is the vav explicativum (“even the Levites”) is unlikely here.
