OET (OET-RV) Their neighbours had helped them by donating gold and silver utensils, goods and livestock, and expensive gifts, as well as the voluntary offerings of cash.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְכָל־סְבִיבֹֽתֵיהֶם֙
and=all around_of,them
All is an exaggeration for emphasis. Every person who lived near a returning Jew did not necessarily provide support. But the expression indicates that the Jews received very generous support from many of their neighbors. Alternate translation: [And the people of their communities]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
חִזְּק֣וּ בִֽידֵיהֶ֔ם
(Some words not found in UHB: and=all around_of,them they_assisted (in),hands_of,their with,vessels_of silver with,gold with,property and=on/over=cattle/livestock and,with_(the),gifts besides,addition_to on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every given_as_a_freewill_offering )
Here, hands represents strength and power. This expression means that the neighbors of the Jews gave them greater capacity to act and fulfill their project by supplying them with the items listed. Alternate translation: [enabled them by giving them]

This is a reference to the freewill offerings that are also mentioned in 1:4. Alternate translation: [in addition, the people freely gave extra gifts]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
