Nehemiah 12:38-39

12:38 The second choir was proceeding ¹  in the opposite direction. I followed them, along with half the people, on top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall, 12:39 over the Ephraim Gate, the Jeshanah Gate, ²  the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, to the Sheep Gate. They stopped ³  at the Gate of the Guard.

[12:38]  ¹ tc The translation reads הוֹלֶכֶת (holekhet, “was proceeding”) rather than the MT הַהוֹלֶכֶת (haholekhet, “the one proceeding”). The MT probably reflects dittography – accidental writing of ה (hey) twice instead of once.

[12:39]  ² tn Or “the Old Gate” (so KJV, NASB, NCV, NRSV).

[12:39]  ³ tn Heb “they stood.”
