Nehemiah 7:26
men <0582> [The men.]
The Septuagint reads here the same as in the parallel place, [Huioi Baithalem, hekaton eikositris; huioi Atopha (Alex. Anetopha) pentekontaex;] "The children of Bethlehem, one hundred twenty and three; the children of Netophah, fifty and six." Though this reading is not found in any Hebrew MS. yet collated, it is doubtless the true one.
Bethlehem <01035> [Bethlehem.]
[179.]
Nehemiah 3:2
adjacent .......... adjacent <03027> [next unto him. Heb. at his hand. the men.]
Zaccur <02139> [Zaccur.]
Nehemiah 11:6
Nehemiah 4:23
relatives <0251> [So neither I.]
Each <0376> [saving that, etc. or, every one went with his weapon for water.]
The original of this obscure clause is {ish shilcho hammayim,} which is rendered by Montanus, {vir missile suum aquas,} "a man his dart to the waters," of which it is difficult to make sense. It is wholly omitted by the LXX.; and one of De Rossi's MSS. reads, {meshallachah Æ’l hammayim,} "in order to send them to the water."
