Nehemiah 9:32
Context9:32 “So now, our God – the great, powerful, and awesome God, who keeps covenant fidelity 4 – do not regard as inconsequential 5 all the hardship that has befallen us – our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people – from the days of the kings of Assyria until this very day!
1 tn Heb “the” (so NAB).
2 tn Heb “seed.”
3 tn Heb “your words.”
