Nehemiah 9:10

Context
9:10 You performed awesome signs 1  against Pharaoh, against his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that the Egyptians 2  had acted presumptuously 3  against them. You made for yourself a name that is celebrated to this day.

Nehemiah 13:18

Context
13:18 Isn’t this the way your ancestors 4  acted, causing our God to bring on them and on this city all this misfortune? And now you are causing even more wrath on Israel, profaning the Sabbath like this!”

1 tn Heb “signs and wonders.” This phrase is a hendiadys. The second noun functions adjectivally, while the first noun retains its full nominal sense: “awesome signs” or “miraculous signs.”

2 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Egyptians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Or “arrogantly” (so NASB); NRSV “insolently.”

4 tn Heb “your fathers.”
