NET Notes

¹tn Heb “heard.”

²tn Heb “Gashmu”; in Neh 2:19 this name appears as Geshem. Since it is important for the modern reader to recognize that this is the same individual, the form of the name used here in the translation is the same as that in v. 19.

³tn Heb “is saying.”

⁴tn Heb “words.” So also in v. 7.
