[2:6]  ¹ tn Or “queen,” so most English versions (cf. HALOT 1415 s.v. שֵׁגַל); TEV “empress.”

[2:6]  ² tn Heb “It was good before the king and he sent me.”

[2:12]  ³ tn Heb “the animal.”

[3:25]  ⁴ tc The MT lacks the phrase אַחֲרָיו הֶחֱזִיק (’akharayv hekheziq, “after him worked”). This phrase is used repeatedly in Neh 3:16-31 to introduce each worker and his location. It probably dropped out accidentally through haplography.

[3:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “house of the king.”

[3:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “Miphkad Gate” (so TEV; KJV similar); NRSV “Muster Gate.”

[7:64]  ⁷ tn Heb “they were desecrated.”
