Footnotes

  1. 7 Heb “their nobles.”
  2. 8 Heb “bring their neck.”
  3. 9 The plural form אֲדֹנֵיהֶם (’adonehem, “lords”) is probably a plural of majesty referring to Nehemiah (e.g., Isa 19:4; see §124.i). However, some English versions take the plural to refer to the “supervisors” (, , ) and others to “their Lord” (, ).
