Nehemiah 3:31

3:31 After him Malkijah, one of the goldsmiths, worked as far as the house of the temple servants and the traders, opposite the Inspection Gate, ¹  and up to the room above the corner.

Nehemiah 4:23

4:23 We did not change clothes ²  – not I, nor my relatives, nor my workers, nor the watchmen who were with me. Each had his weapon, even when getting a drink of water. ³ 

[3:31]  ¹ tn Heb “Miphkad Gate” (so TEV; KJV similar); NRSV “Muster Gate.”

[4:23]  ² tn Heb “strip off our garments.”

[4:23]  ³ tc Heb “a man, his weapon, the waters.” The MT, if in fact it is correct, is elliptical and difficult. Some scholars emend the MT reading הַמָּיִם (hammayim, “the waters”) to בִּמִנוֹ (bimino, “in his right hand”; cf. NAB, NRSV) or מִינוּ(י)הֵ (heminu, “they held on the right side”).
