Nehemiah 6:12-13

6:12 I recognized the fact that God had not sent him, for he had spoken the prophecy against me as a hired agent of Tobiah and Sanballat. 6:13 He had been hired to scare me so that I would do this and thereby sin. They would thus bring reproach on me and I would be discredited.


tn Heb “and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.”

tc The translation reads לִי (li, “to me”) rather than the MT reading לָהֶם (lahem, “to them”).

tn Heb “would have a bad name.”
