Nehemiah 11:12

11:12 and their colleagues ²  who were carrying out work for the temple – 822; and Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malkijah,

[9:25]  ¹ tn Heb “they ate and were sated.” This expression is a hendiadys. The first verb retains its full verbal sense, while the second functions adverbially: “they ate and were filled” = “they ate until they were full.”

[11:12]  ² tn Heb “brothers” (also in vv. 13, 14, 17, 19).
