Nehemiah 4:14

4:14 When I had made an inspection, ¹  I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the great and awesome Lord, ²  and fight on behalf of your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your families!” ³ 

Nehemiah 7:5

7:5 My God placed it on my heart to gather the leaders, ⁴  the officials, and the ordinary people so they could be enrolled on the basis of genealogy. I found the genealogical records ⁵  of those who had formerly returned. Here is what I found written in that record: ⁶ 

[4:14]  ¹ tn Heb “And I saw.”

[4:14]  ² tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[4:14]  ³ tn Heb “houses.”

[7:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “nobles”; NCV “important men.”

[7:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “the book of genealogy.”

[7:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “in it”; the referent (the genealogical record) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
