2:10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official ¹  heard all this, they were very displeased that someone had come to seek benefit for the Israelites.

Nehemiah 7:7

The number of Israelite men ²  was as follows:

Nehemiah 8:14

8:14 They discovered written in the law that the LORD had commanded through ³  Moses that the Israelites should live in temporary shelters during the festival of the seventh month,

[2:10]  ¹ tn Heb “servant” (so KJV, ASV; NAB “slave”; NCV “officer.” This phrase also occurs in v. 19.

[7:7]  ² tn Heb “the men of the people of Israel.” Some English versions translate as “the people from Israel” (NCV) or “the Israelite people” (NRSV), but “men” should be retained because the following numbers presumably include only adult males.

[8:14]  ³ tn Heb “by the hand of.”

[13:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “bread.” The Hebrew term is generic here, however, referring to more than bread alone.
