Nehemia 9:6

9:6 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, ¹  along with all their multitude of stars, ²  the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You impart life to them all, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.

Nehemia 9:10

9:10 You performed awesome signs ³  against Pharaoh, against his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that the Egyptians ⁴  had acted presumptuously ⁵  against them. You made for yourself a name that is celebrated to this day.

[9:6]  ¹ tn Heb “the heavens of the heavens.”

[9:6]  ² tn Heb “all their host.”

[9:10]  ³ tn Heb “signs and wonders.” This phrase is a hendiadys. The second noun functions adjectivally, while the first noun retains its full nominal sense: “awesome signs” or “miraculous signs.”

[9:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Egyptians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:10]  ⁵ tn Or “arrogantly” (so NASB); NRSV “insolently.”
