Nehemiah 3:15

Context

3:15 Shallun son of Col-Hozeh, head of the district of Mizpah, worked on the Fountain Gate. He rebuilt it, put on its roof, and positioned its doors, its bolts, and its bars. In addition, he rebuilt the wall of the Pool of Siloam, 1  by the royal garden, as far as the steps that go down from the City of David.

Nehemiah 8:16

Context

8:16 So the people went out and brought these things 2  back and constructed temporary shelters for themselves, each on his roof and in his courtyard and in the courtyards of the temple 3  of God and in the plaza of the Water Gate and the plaza of the Ephraim Gate.

1 tn The Hebrew word translated “Siloam” is הַשֶּׁלַח (hashelakh, “water-channel”; cf. ASV, NASB, NRSV, TEV, CEV “Shelah”). It apparently refers to the Pool of Siloam whose water supply came from the Gihon Spring via Hezekiah’s Tunnel built in 701 B.C. (cf. Isa 8:6). See BDB 1019 s.v. שִׁלֹחַ; W. L. Holladay, Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon, 372. On the etymology of the word, which is a disputed matter, see HALOT 1517 s.v. III שֶׁלַח.

2 tn The words “these things” are not in the Hebrew text but have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “the house.”
