Context
4:4 Then the local people 1  began to discourage 2  the people of Judah and to dishearten them from building.

Ezra 8:26

Context
8:26 I weighed out to them 3  650 talents of silver, silver vessels worth 100 talents, 4  100 talents of gold,

1 tn Heb “the people of the land.” Elsewhere this expression sometimes has a negative connotation, referring to a lay population that was less zealous for Judaism than it should have been. Here, however, it seems to refer to the resident population of the area without any negative connotation.

2 tn Heb “were making slack the hands of.”

3 tn Heb “upon their hand.”

4 tn Possibly “100 silver vessels worth [?] talents” or “silver vessels weighing 100 talents.”
