Nehemiah 4:9

4:9 So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard to protect against them ¹  both day and night.

Nehemiah 13:4

13:4 But prior to this time, Eliashib the priest, a relative of Tobiah, had been appointed over the storerooms ²  of the temple of our God.

[4:9]  ¹ tn Heb “against them.” The words “to protect” are added in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness. Some emend MT עֲלֵיהֶם (’alehem, “against them”) to עָלֶיהָ (’aleha, “against it,” i.e., Jerusalem).

[13:4]  ² tc The translation reads the plural rather than the singular of the MT.
