[3:26]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text lacks the verb “worked.” It is implied, however, and has been supplied in the translation.

[12:31]  ² tc The translation reads וְהָאַחַת הֹלֶכֶת (vÿha’akhat holekhet, “and one was proceeding”) rather than the MT reading וְתַהֲלֻכֹת (vÿtahalukhot, “and processions”).

[2:13]  ³ tn Or “Well of the Serpents”; or “Well of the Jackals” (cf. ASV, NIV, NLT).

[2:13]  ⁴ tn Or “Rubbish Gate” (so TEV); NASB “Refuse Gate”; NCV “Trash Gate”; CEV “Garbage Gate.”

[2:13]  ⁵ tc For the MT reading שֹׂבֵר (sover, “inspecting”) the LXX erroneously has שֹׁבֵר (shover, “breaking”). However, further destruction of Jerusalem’s walls was obviously not a part of Nehemiah’s purpose.

[13:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “give a dwelling to.”

[2:19]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text does not include the words “all this,” but they have been added in the translation for clarity.

[9:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Egyptians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:10]  ⁸ tn Or “arrogantly” (so NASB); NRSV “insolently.”

[9:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “the” (so NAB).

[9:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “seed.”

[9:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “your words.”
