1Ch 6:31-48; 1Ch 9:17-27; 1Ch 25:1-8; Ezr 2:40,41; Ezr 2:42; Ezr 2:43-70; Ezr 6:14; Ezr 7:11,12; Ezr 7:24; Ezr 8:1-14; Ezr 8:1; Ezr 8:15-20; Ezr 8:20; Ne 2:1; Ne 7:45; Ne 7:46-73; Ne 10:28

¹ tc The translation reads the Hiphil singular וַיַּעֲל (vayya’al, “he [Ezra] brought up”) rather than the Qal plural וַיַּעַלוּ (vayya’alu, “they came up”) of the MT.

tn Heb “he brought”; the referent (Ezra) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
