OET interlinear NEH 11:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הַ⁠שּֽׁוֹעֲרִים֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,gatekeepers ˊAqqūⱱ Ţalmōn and,brothers_of,their [who]_kept,watch at,gates hundred seventy and,two )

The implication is that this next section of the list will name the men who were leaders of the gatekeepers. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Here are the names of the leaders of the gatekeepers who settled in Jerusalem:] followed by the list of names.

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

וְ⁠הַ⁠שּֽׁוֹעֲרִים֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,gatekeepers ˊAqqūⱱ Ţalmōn and,brothers_of,their [who]_kept,watch at,gates hundred seventy and,two )

This means the people who were responsible to open and close the gates that controlled access to the city or perhaps the temple. See how you translated this term in [7:1](../07/01.md).

Note 3 topic: translate-names

עַקּ֣וּב טַלְמ֔וֹן

ˊAqqūⱱ Ţalmōn

These are the names of two men.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וַ⁠אֲחֵי⁠הֶ֖ם הַ⁠שֹּׁמְרִ֣ים בַּ⁠שְּׁעָרִ֑ים מֵאָ֖ה שִׁבְעִ֥ים וּ⁠שְׁנָֽיִם

and,brothers_of,their (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,gatekeepers ˊAqqūⱱ Ţalmōn and,brothers_of,their [who]_kept,watch at,gates hundred seventy and,two )

The list is speaking in abbreviated form here. Alternate translation: [These leaders and their fellow gatekeepers amounted to a total of 172 gatekeepers who settled in Jerusalem.]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠אֲחֵי⁠הֶ֖ם הַ⁠שֹּׁמְרִ֣ים בַּ⁠שְּׁעָרִ֑ים

and,brothers_of,their (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,gatekeepers ˊAqqūⱱ Ţalmōn and,brothers_of,their [who]_kept,watch at,gates hundred seventy and,two )

Here, in context, brother seems to be a figurative way of saying “fellow gatekeepers,” although it is possible that some of the biological brothers of Akkub and Talmon were included in this group. Alternate translation: [their fellow gatekeepers]

Note 6 topic: translate-numbers

מֵאָ֖ה שִׁבְעִ֥ים וּ⁠שְׁנָֽיִם

hundred (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,gatekeepers ˊAqqūⱱ Ţalmōn and,brothers_of,their [who]_kept,watch at,gates hundred seventy and,two )

Alternate translation: [one hundred and seventy-two men]
