Nehemiah 1:3

Context

1:3 They said to me, “The remnant that remains from the exile there in the province are experiencing considerable 1  adversity and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem lies breached, and its gates have been burned down!” 2 

Nehemiah 2:3

Context

2:3 I replied to the king, “O king, live forever! Why would I not appear dejected when the city with the graves of my ancestors 3  lies desolate and its gates destroyed 4  by fire?”

1 tn Heb “great.”

2 tn Heb “have been burned with fire” (so also in Neh 2:17). The expression “burned with fire” is redundant in contemporary English; the translation uses “burned down” for stylistic reasons.

3 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 5).

4 tn Heb “devoured” or “eaten” (so also in Neh 2:13).
