Nehemiah 1:9
1:9 But if you repent 1 and obey 2 my commandments and do them, then even if your dispersed people are in the most remote location, 3 I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen for my name to reside.’
Nehemiah 2:12
2:12 I got up during the night, along with a few men who were with me. But I did not tell anyone what my God was putting on my heart to do for Jerusalem. There were no animals with me, except for the one 4 I was riding.
Nehemiah 7:5
7:5 My God placed it on my heart to gather the leaders, 5 the officials, and the ordinary people so they could be enrolled on the basis of genealogy. I found the genealogical records 6 of those who had formerly returned. Here is what I found written in that record: 7
1 tn Heb “turn to me.”
2 tn Heb “keep.” See the note on the word “obey” in Neh 1:5.
3 tn Heb “at the end of the heavens.”
4 tn Heb “the animal.”
5 tn Heb “nobles”; NCV “important men.”
6 tn Heb “the book of genealogy.”
7 tn Heb “in it”; the referent (the genealogical record) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
