Nehemiah 6:11-13

Context

6:11 But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Would someone like me flee to the temple in order to save his life? 1  I will not go!” 6:12 I recognized the fact that God had not sent him, for he had spoken the prophecy against me as a hired agent of Tobiah and Sanballat. 2  6:13 He had been hired to scare me so that I would do this and thereby sin. They would thus bring reproach on me and I 3  would be discredited. 4 

1 tn Heb “go into the temple and live.”

2 tn Heb “and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.”

3 tc The translation reads לִי (li, “to me”) rather than the MT reading לָהֶם (lahem, “to them”).

4 tn Heb “would have a bad name.”
