Nehemiah 7:70-73

Context
7:70 Some of the family leaders¹ contributed to the work. The governor contributed to the treasury 1,000 gold drachmas,² 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments. 7:71 Some of the family leaders gave to the project treasury 20,000 gold drachmas and 2,200 silver minas. 7:72 What the rest of the people gave amounted to 20,000 gold drachmas, 2,000 silver minas, and 67 priestly garments.

7:73 The priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all the rest of Israel lived in their cities.

The People Respond to the Reading of the Law

When the seventh month arrived and the Israelites³ were settled in their cities,⁴

¹tn Heb “the heads of the fathers.”

²tn Heb “darics” (also in vv. 71, 72).

³tn Heb “the sons of Israel.” So also in vv. 14, 17; 9:1.

⁴tn The traditional understanding of the chapter and verse division here is probably incorrect. The final part of v. 73 is best understood as belonging with 8:1.
