Hebrew and Greek witnesses Masoretic Hebrew ↔ Greek Septuagint

Greek LXX Structure differs

The Septuagint has no separate book of Nehemiah. Its Greek text is the second half of Esdras B (2 Esdras), chapters 11–23; Ezra is the first half (1–10).

A verse-for-verse comparison isn’t shown here because the chapters and verses don’t line up. Switch to the LXX edition with the MT / LXX toggle above to read the Greek directly.

Commentary

Notes on Nehemiah 11:26 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible

Daniel D. Whedon

26-35. On Moladah, see Jos_15:26.

Beer-sheba — Jos_15:28.

Ziklag — 1Sa_27:6.

Jarmuth — Jos_15:35.

Lachish — Jos_10:3.

Valley of Hinnom — Jos_15:8.

Geba — Jos_18:24.

Michmash — 1Sa_13:2.

Aija and Beth-el — Jos_7:2.

Anathoth — Jos_21:18.

Nob — 1Sa_21:1.

Ananiah — Perhaps the modern Beit Hanina, some three miles northwest of Jerusalem.

Ramah — Jos_18:25.

Gittaim — 2Sa_4:3.

Hadid — Perhaps the modern Haditheh, a few miles east of Lod, or Lydda.

Neballat — The modern Beit Nebala, a little northeast of Lod.

Lod and Ono — Lod is the Lydda of the New Testament, (see on Act_9:32,) and Ono is probably to be sought at Kefr Anna, a few miles north of it. See on Neh_6:2. The valley of craftsmen is, perhaps, identical with the plain of Ono, mentioned Neh_6:2. Compare 1Ch_4:14. The other towns mentioned in this section are unknown.

  5. Compare how Adam Clarke's Commentary and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
