Ezra 8:17

Context
8:17 I sent them to Iddo, who was the leader in the place called Casiphia. I told them 1  what to say to Iddo and his relatives, 2  who were the temple servants in 3  Casiphia, so they would bring us attendants for the temple of our God.

1 tn Heb “I placed in their mouth words.”

2 tc The translation reads with the LXX and Vulgate וְאֶחָיו (vÿekhayv, “and his brethren” = “relatives”; so NCV, NLT) rather than the reading אָחִיו (’akhiyv, “his brother”) of the MT.

3 tn Heb “in the place called.” This phrase has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
