Nehemia 5:14

5:14 From the day that I was appointed ¹  governor ²  in the land of Judah, that is, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes – twelve years in all – neither I nor my relatives ³  ate the food allotted to the governor. ⁴ 

Nehemia 8:9

8:9 Then Nehemiah the governor, ⁵  Ezra the priestly scribe, ⁶  and the Levites who were imparting understanding to the people said to all of them, ⁷  “This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping when they heard the words of the law.

[5:14]  ¹ tc The BHS editors suggest reading צֻוֵּאתִי (tsuvve’ti, “and I was appointed”) rather than the reading of the MT, אֹתִי צִוָּה (tsivvah ’oti, “he appointed me”).

[5:14]  ² tc The translation reads with one medieval Hebrew MS פֶּחָה (pekhah, “governor”) rather than פֶּחָם (pekham, “their governor”) of the MT. One would expect the form with pronominal suffix to have a tav (ת) before the suffix.

[5:14]  ³ tn Heb “brothers.”

[5:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “the food of the governor.” Cf. v. 18.

[8:9]  ⁵ tc The unexpected reference to Nehemiah here has led some scholars to suspect that the phrase “Nehemiah the governor” is a later addition to the text and not original.

[8:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “the priest, the scribe.”

[8:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “the people.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.
