NETBible

I proceeded through the Valley Gate by night, in the direction of the Well of the Dragons¹ and the Dung Gate,² inspecting³ the walls of Jerusalem that had been breached and its gates that had been destroyed by fire.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “Well of the Serpents”; or “Well of the Jackals” (cf. ASV, NIV, NLT).

²tn Or “Rubbish Gate” (so TEV); NASB “Refuse Gate”; NCV “Trash Gate”; CEV “Garbage Gate.”

³tc For the MT reading שֹׂבֵר (sover, “inspecting”) the LXX erroneously has שֹׁבֵר (shover, “breaking”). However, further destruction of Jerusalem’s walls was obviously not a part of Nehemiah’s purpose.
