Nehemiah 5:17-18

Context

5:17 There were 150 Jews and officials who dined with me routinely, 1  in addition to those who came to us from the nations 2  all around us. 5:18 Every day one ox, six select sheep, and some birds were prepared for me, and every ten days all kinds of wine in abundance. Despite all this I did not require the food allotted to the governor, for the work was demanding on this people.

1 tn Heb “who were gathered around us at my table.”

2 tn Or “from the Gentiles.” The same Hebrew word can refer to “the Gentiles” or “the nations.” Cf. the phrase in 6:16.
