Footnotes

1. Nehemiah 11:31 tc The translation reads with a few medieval Hebrew mss and the Syriac Peshitta וּמִבְּנֵי (umibb^ene, “and some of the descendants of”; cf. NLT) rather than the MT reading וּבְנֵי (uv^ene, “and the sons of”).
2. Nehemiah 11:31 tc Heb “from Geba.” It is preferable to delete the preposition “from” read by the MT.
