Nehemia 2:4

2:4 The king responded, ¹  “What is it you are seeking?” Then I quickly prayed to the God of heaven

Nehemia 4:8-9

4:8 All of them conspired together to move with armed forces ²  against Jerusalem and to create a disturbance in it. 4:9 So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard to protect against them ³  both day and night.

Nehemia 10:9

10:9 The Levites were as follows:

Jeshua ⁴  son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel.

[2:4]  ¹ tn Heb “said to me.”

[4:8]  ² tn Heb “to fight.”

[4:9]  ³ tn Heb “against them.” The words “to protect” are added in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness. Some emend MT עֲלֵיהֶם (’alehem, “against them”) to עָלֶיהָ (’aleha, “against it,” i.e., Jerusalem).

[10:9]  ⁴ tc With many medieval Hebrew manuscripts and the ancient versions the translation reads יְשׁוּעַ (yÿshua’, “Jeshua”) rather than the reading וְיֵשׁוּעַ (vÿyeshua’, “and Jeshua”) of BHS.
