Nehemiah 9:25

Context
9:25 They captured fortified cities and fertile land. They took possession of houses full of all sorts of good things – wells previously dug, vineyards, olive trees, and fruit trees in abundance. They ate until they were full 1  and grew fat. They enjoyed to the full your great goodness.

Nehemiah 9:35

Context
9:35 Even when they were in their kingdom and benefiting from your incredible 2  goodness that you had lavished 3  on them in the spacious and fertile land you had set 4  before them, they did not serve you, nor did they turn from their evil practices.

1 tn Heb “they ate and were sated.” This expression is a hendiadys. The first verb retains its full verbal sense, while the second functions adverbially: “they ate and were filled” = “they ate until they were full.”

2 tn Heb “great.”

3 tn Heb “given them.”

4 tn Heb “given.”
