12:47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel was contributing the portions for the singers and gatekeepers, according to the daily need. ⁸  They also set aside ⁹  the portion for the Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron.

It was then their responsibility to oversee the distribution to their colleagues. ¹³ 

[5:8]  ¹ tn Heb “our brothers, the Jews.”

[5:8]  ² tn Heb “your brothers.”

[9:24]  ³ tn Heb “the sons.”

[9:30]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew expression here is elliptical. The words “your kindness” are not included in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[9:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “did not give ear to.”

[9:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “the peoples of the lands.”

[10:38]  ⁷ tn Heb “And the priest the son of Aaron.”

[12:47]  ⁸ tn Heb “a thing of a day in its day.”

[13:13]  ¹⁰ tc Probably one should read with the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וָאֲצַוֶּה (va’atsavveh, “and I commanded”) rather than the rare denominative verb וָאוֹצְרָה (va’otsÿrah, “and I appointed over the storeroom”) of the MT.

[13:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “be over”

[13:13]  ¹² tn Heb “on their hand.”
