Nehemiah 7:5
7:5 My God placed it on my heart to gather the leaders, 1 the officials, and the ordinary people so they could be enrolled on the basis of genealogy. I found the genealogical records 2 of those who had formerly returned. Here is what I found written in that record: 3
1 tn Heb “nobles”; NCV “important men.”
2 tn Heb “the book of genealogy.”
3 tn Heb “in it”; the referent (the genealogical record) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
