[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.”

[6:19]  ³ tn Heb “my words.”

[6:19]  ⁴ tn Or “to intimidate” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT).
