OET interlinear NEH 10:30

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹא־נִתֵּ֥ן בְּנֹתֵ֖י⁠נוּ לְ⁠עַמֵּ֣י הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ וְ⁠אֶת־בְּנֹ֣תֵי⁠הֶ֔ם לֹ֥א נִקַּ֖ח לְ⁠בָנֵֽי⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: join on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in countrymen_of,their their_noble_of,[ones] and,[they_are]_going in,a_curse and,in,an_oath to=go in,the_law_of the=ʼElohīm which/who given by,the_hand_of Mosheh servant_of the=ʼElohīm and,to,take_care and,to,do DOM all/each/any/every commands_of YHWH lord(s)_of,our and,his_of,judgments and,his_of,statutes )

These two phrases mean similar things. They both indicate that the Jews are promising here not to let their children marry people from the other groups living in the area. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: [We promise that we will not allow any one of our children to marry someone from another people group]

(Some words not found in UHB: join on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in countrymen_of,their their_noble_of,[ones] and,[they_are]_going in,a_curse and,in,an_oath to=go in,the_law_of the=ʼElohīm which/who given by,the_hand_of Mosheh servant_of the=ʼElohīm and,to,take_care and,to,do DOM all/each/any/every commands_of YHWH lord(s)_of,our and,his_of,judgments and,his_of,statutes )

Here and through to the end of this chapter, the pronoun “we” includes Nehemiah and the Jewish people, but not the readers of this book.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠עַמֵּ֣י הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

(Some words not found in UHB: join on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in countrymen_of,their their_noble_of,[ones] and,[they_are]_going in,a_curse and,in,an_oath to=go in,the_law_of the=ʼElohīm which/who given by,the_hand_of Mosheh servant_of the=ʼElohīm and,to,take_care and,to,do DOM all/each/any/every commands_of YHWH lord(s)_of,our and,his_of,judgments and,his_of,statutes )

This refers to other people groups who live in the land and who do not worship Yahweh. The implication is that intermarriage with these groups would lead the Israelites to compromise their loyalty to Yahweh. Alternate translation: [the people of this land who do not worship Yahweh]
