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.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

Neh 9:27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest [them] from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

Ver. 27. Therefore thou deliveredst them] Flagitium et flagellum, sicut acus et filum. Sin and punishment are tied together with chains of adamant.

Who vexed them] Heb. Put them to straits; so that they had not what shift to make or how to help themselves.

And in the time of their trouble] Vexatio dedit intellectum. The time of affliction is the time of supplication. When out of the depths God’s people cry unto him, they may have anything, Zec 13:9, speedy audience, unmiscarrying returns of their prayers.

Thou gavest them saviours] i.e. Deliverers, such as the judges were, Jdg 3:9, and such as Flaminius the Roman was to the poor Argives; who therefore called him Saviour, Saviour, and that with such a courage, ut corvi fortuito supervolantes, in stadium deciderent, that the birds fell to the earth amazed with that outcry; the air was so dissipated with their acclamations (Plut. in Flam.).

Joseph Benson's Commentary

Neh 9:27. When they cried unto thee, &c. — The whole book of Judges verities this, that God delivered them for their sins unto the Moabites, the Canaanites, and divers other enemies, who grievously domineered over them; but when they cried to God for help, he was so gracious as to send such men as Barak, Gideon, and others, to be their saviours, that is, deliverers, from tyranny.

The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

gen. ed. J. J. S. Perowne

27. enemies … vexed] R.V. adversaries … distressed. The English version cannot reproduce the alliteration of the Hebrew, where ‘adversaries,’ ‘distressed’ and ‘trouble’ have a common root.

thou heardest them] R.V. omit them. So in Neh_9:28. Cf. ‘Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place,’ 1Ki_8:30.

saviours] LXX. σωτηρίας. Vulg. ‘salvatores.’ By this title the judges are spoken of in Jdg_2:16; Jdg_3:9; Jdg_3:15. Cf. 2Ki_13:5, ‘And the Lord gave Israel a saviour.’

27, 28. The Period of the Judges

John Gill's Exposition

Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them,.... As the kings of Mesopotamia, Moab, Canaan, and others:

and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee; as they usually did, Jdg 3:9,

thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hands of their enemies; such were judges, Othniel, Ehud, Barak, Gideon, &c. and this was, done for them, not on account of their merits, but the abundant unmerited mercy of the Lord towards them.

Thou gavest them saviours. e.g. Othniel and Ehud, (who are called "saviours," Jud_1:3:9, 15) Shamgar, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson, Saul, David, etc. The writer seems to have the history of "Judges" especially in his mind (see the next verse).

Nehemiah, in the Historical, opens this verse with 20 words (14 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is yâtsar (“to bind”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  2. How does Genesis 32:7, which shares the word «to bind», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “to give” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  5. «וַֽתִּתְּנֵם֙» is a Qal Sequential Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  6. Compare how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Joseph Benson's Commentary read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
