Footnotes
- Nehemiah 3:2 The Hebrew of the list in verses 2-32 alternates between plural and singular pronouns and verbs, sometimes referring to the leader, sometimes to the group working under him. The EHV uses whichever forms sound natural in English with the nearest antecedent. The EHV also adds a direct object to the verb when English usage requires an object.
- Nehemiah 3:3 Sena’ah is a town not a person, so sons is translated citizens.
