Nehemiah 6:12-13

Context
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. 1  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 2  would be discredited. 3 

Nehemiah 13:2

Context
13:2 for they had not met the Israelites with food 4  and water, but instead had hired Balaam to curse them. (Our God, however, turned the curse into blessing.)

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

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

3 tn Heb “would have a bad name.”

4 tn Heb “bread.” The Hebrew term is generic here, however, referring to more than bread alone.
