[3:25]  ¹ tc The MT lacks the phrase אַחֲרָיו הֶחֱזִיק (’akharayv hekheziq, “after him worked”). This phrase is used repeatedly in Neh 3:16-31 to introduce each worker and his location. It probably dropped out accidentally through haplography.

[3:25]  ² tn Heb “house of the king.”

[12:39]  ³ tn Or “the Old Gate” (so KJV, NASB, NCV, NRSV).

[12:39]  ⁴ tn Heb “they stood.”
