Nehemia 7:69-71

7:69 (7:68) ¹  435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys. 7:70 Some of the family leaders ²  contributed to the work. The governor contributed to the treasury 1,000 gold drachmas, ³  50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments. 7:71 Some of the family leaders gave to the project treasury 20,000 gold drachmas and 2,200 silver minas.

[7:69]  ¹ tc Most Hebrew MSS omit 7:68 ET, which reads “They had 736 horses, 245 mules,” and thus have one less verse in chap. 7, ending the chapter at 7:72. This verse is included in the LXX and most English versions. Cf. Ezra 2:66.

[7:70]  ² tn Heb “the heads of the fathers.”

[7:70]  ³ tn Heb “darics” (also in vv. 71, 72).
