Nehemiah Is Permitted to Go to Jerusalem

Footnotes
- 1 The translation reads with the וְיַיִן לְפָנַי (véyayin léfanay, “and wine before me”) rather than יַיִן לְפָנָיו (yayin léfanayv, “wine before him”) of the . The initial vav (ו) on original וְיַיִן probably dropped out due to haplograpy or orthographic confusion with the two yods (י) which follow. The final vav on לְפָנָיו in the was probably added due to dittography with the vav on the immediately following word.
- 2 The translation reads לְפָנֵים (léfanim, “formerly”) rather than לְפָנָיו (léfanayv, “to his face”) of the . The seems to suggest that Nehemiah was not sad before the king, which is contrary to what follows.
- 3 Or “showed him a sullen face.” See רַע, רָע 9.
- 4 This expression is either to be inferred from the context, or perhaps one should read לְפָנָיו (léfanayv, “before him”; cf. the ) in addition to לְפָנִים (léfanim, “formerly”). See preceding note on the word “previously.”
