Nehemiah 3:13

3:13 Hanun and the residents of Zanoah worked on the Valley Gate. They rebuilt it and positioned its doors, its bolts, and its bars, in addition to working on fifteen hundred feet ¹  of the wall as far as the Dung Gate.

Nehemiah 7:70

7:70 Some of the family leaders ²  contributed to the work. The governor contributed to the treasury 1,000 gold drachmas, ³  50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.

[3:13]  ¹ tn Heb “one thousand cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) long, so this section of the wall would be about fifteen hundred feet (450 m).

[7:70]  ² tn Heb “the heads of the fathers.”

[7:70]  ³ tn Heb “darics” (also in vv. 71, 72).
