Nehemiah 7:4-5

Context
7:4 Now the city was spread out 1  and large, and there were not a lot of people in it. 2  At that time houses had not been rebuilt. 7:5 My God placed it on my heart to gather the leaders, 3  the officials, and the ordinary people so they could be enrolled on the basis of genealogy. I found the genealogical records 4  of those who had formerly returned. Here is what I found written in that record: 5 

1 tn Heb “wide of two hands.”

2 tn Heb “the people were few in its midst.”

3 tn Heb “nobles”; NCV “important men.”

4 tn Heb “the book of genealogy.”

5 tn Heb “in it”; the referent (the genealogical record) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
