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 11:34 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.

34. Hadid] In Ezr_2:33, with Lod and Ono.

Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

Lod. Built by Samad, 1 Paralipomenon viii. 12. It is called Lod-Hadid, chap. vii. 37. --- Ono had the same founder, and stood in the valley of craftsmen, chap. vi. 2., and 1 Paralipomenon iv. 14.

The Pulpit Commentary

Hadid is joined with Lod and Ono in Ezr_2:33 and Neh_7:37. It is probably the modern Haditheh, three miles east of Ludd or Lod, in the Shephelah. Zeboim is not elsewhere mentioned as a town, but we hear of a "valley of Zeboim" in 1Sa_13:18, which seems to have lain east of Michmash, in the bleak country towards the Jordan. Neballat is not elsewhere mentioned.

Nehemiah, in the Historical, opens this verse with 3 words (3 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is Nᵉballâṭ (“Neballat”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word Nᵉballâṭ carries the sense “Neballat.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. This verse holds 1 word here found nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible. What might the rare word draw attention to?
  3. The word “Neballat” first appears here in Scripture. What is being introduced at this debut?
  4. 1 Samuel 13:18 shares the word «Zeboim» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  5. Reading how The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges and Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?

Things to notice

  • 1 word in this verse appears nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible.
  • 1 word makes its first canonical appearance in Scripture here.
  • 3 distinct Hebrew lemmas span 3 words in this verse.
