Nehemiah 6:10

Then I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel. He was confined to his home. ¹  He said, “Let’s set up a time to meet in the house of God, within the temple. Let’s close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you. It will surely be at night that they will come to kill you.”

1Ki 6:5; 2Ki 9:8; 2Ki 11:3; 2Ch 28:24; 2Ch 29:3,7; Ezr 8:16; Ezr 10:31; Ne 6:12; Job 24:13-17; Ps 12:2; Ps 37:12; Ps 120:2,3; Pr 11:9; Jer 36:5; Eze 3:24; Mal 1:10; Mt 7:15; Joh 3:20; Ac 21:30

¹ tn Heb “shut in.” The reason for his confinement is not stated. BDB 783 s.v. עָצַר suggests that it had to do with the fulfillment of a vow or was related to an issue of ceremonial uncleanness.
