7:7 They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah.

The number of Israelite men ⁶  was as follows:

Nehemiah 9:4

9:4 Then the Levites – Jeshua, Binnui, ⁷  Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Kenani – stood on the steps and called out loudly ⁸  to the LORD their God.

Nehemiah 12:26

12:26 These all served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priestly scribe. ⁹ 

Nehemiah 8:17

8:17 So all the assembly which had returned from the exile constructed temporary shelters and lived in them. The Israelites had not done so from the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day. Everyone experienced very great joy. ¹⁰ 

Nehemiah 9:5

9:5 The Levites – Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah – said, “Stand up and bless the LORD your God!”

“May you be blessed, O LORD our God, from age to age. ¹¹  May your glorious name ¹²  be blessed; may it be lifted up above all blessing and praise.

[7:11]  ¹ tn Heb “to the sons of.”

[7:39]  ¹ tn Heb “to the house of.”

[12:7]  ¹ tn Heb “heads” (so also in v. 12).

[12:7]  ² tn Heb “brothers” (also in vv. 8, 9, 24, 36).

[12:8]  ¹ tn Heb “he and his brothers.”

[7:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the men of the people of Israel.” Some English versions translate as “the people from Israel” (NCV) or “the Israelite people” (NRSV), but “men” should be retained because the following numbers presumably include only adult males.

[9:4]  ¹ tc Heb “Bani.” The translation reads “Binnui” (so also NAB) rather than the MT reading “Bani.” Otherwise there are two individuals with the same name in this verse. The name “Binnui” appears, for example, in Neh 10:10.

[9:4]  ² tn Heb “in a great voice.”

[12:26]  ¹ tn Heb “the priest, the scribe.”

[8:17]  ¹ tn Heb “And there was very great joy.”

[9:5]  ¹ tc The MT reads here only “from age to age,” without the preceding words “May you be blessed, O LORD our God” which are included in the present translation. But apparently something has dropped out of the text. This phrase occurs elsewhere in the OT as a description of the Lord (see Ps 41:13; 106:48), and it seems best to understand it here in that light. The LXX adds “And Ezra said” at the beginning of v. 6 as a transition: “And Ezra said, ‘You alone are the LORD.” Without this addition (which is not included by most modern English translations) the speakers of vv. 9:5b-10:1 continue to be the Levites of v. 5a.

[9:5]  ² tn Heb “the name of your glory.”
