Nehemiah 4:7
Context4:7 (4:1) 4 When Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the people of Ashdod heard that the restoration of the walls of Jerusalem 5 had moved ahead and that the breaches had begun to be closed, they were very angry.
1 tn Or “Well of the Serpents”; or “Well of the Jackals” (cf. ASV, NIV, NLT).
2 tn Or “Rubbish Gate” (so TEV); NASB “Refuse Gate”; NCV “Trash Gate”; CEV “Garbage Gate.”
3 tc For the MT reading שֹׂבֵר (sover, “inspecting”) the LXX erroneously has שֹׁבֵר (shover, “breaking”). However, further destruction of Jerusalem’s walls was obviously not a part of Nehemiah’s purpose.
4 sn Chapter 4 begins here in the Hebrew text (BHS). See the note at 4:1.
