Nehemiah 3:5

Context
3:5 The men of Tekoa worked on the section adjacent to them, but their town leaders 1  would not assist 2  with the work of their master. 3 

1 tn Heb “their nobles.”

2 tn Heb “bring their neck.”

3 tn The plural form אֲדֹנֵיהֶם (’adonehem, “lords”) is probably a plural of majesty referring to Nehemiah (e.g., Isa 19:4; see GKC 399 §124.i). However, some English versions take the plural to refer to the “supervisors” (NIV, NCV, TEV) and others to “their Lord” (KJV, NRSV).
