הֶחֱזִ֣יקוּ אֲחֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

repaired brothers_of,their

As in [3:1](../03/01.md), brother could mean the biological brothers of the Levites mentioned in [3:17](../03/17.md). However, more likely it means other Levites. Alternate translation: [some other Levites repaired more of the wall]

(Some words not found in UHB: after,him repaired brothers_of,their Binnūy son_of Ḩēnādād chief half_of district_of Qəˊīlāh )

Here Nehemiah does not say “at their hand” (next to them) or “strengthened” (repaired another section of the wall). Once again he is leaving out some of what a complete sentence would be expected to contain. you could fill in this information. Alternate translation: [Next to them, Binnui the son of Henadad, who ruled the other half of the district of Keilah, repaired more of the wall.]
