Nehemiah 6:16

Context
6:16 When all our enemies heard and all the nations who were around us saw 1  this, they were greatly disheartened. 2  They knew that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

1 tc The MT understands the root here to be יָרֵא (yare’, “to fear”) rather than רָאָה (raah, “to see”).

2 tn Heb “they greatly fell [i.e., were cast down] in their own eyes.” Some scholars suggest emending the reading of the MT, וַיִּפְּלוּ (vayyipÿlu) to וַיִּפָּלֵא (vayyippale’, “it was very extraordinary in their eyes”).
