OET interlinear NEH 5:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠הַ⁠יְּהוּדִ֨ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,Jews and,the,officials hundred and,fifty (a)_man and,[those,who]_came to,us from/more_than the=nations which/who [were]_around_of,us on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in table_of,my )

While this expression means “the Jewish people” in most of the book, in the context here and in [2:16](../02/16.md) it seems to mean “Jewish leaders.” Nehemiah is describing some members of this people group, its leaders, as if they were the whole group. Alternate translation: [the Jewish leaders]

Nehemiah is using the word table to refer to the act of feeding people. He is describing that act by reference to something associated with it, the table that the food was served on. Alternate translation: [every day I was responsible to feed 150 Jewish leaders and officials]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הַ⁠בָּאִ֥ים אֵלֵ֛י⁠נוּ מִן־הַ⁠גּוֹיִ֥ם אֲשֶׁר־סְבִיבֹתֵ֖י⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,Jews and,the,officials hundred and,fifty (a)_man and,[those,who]_came to,us from/more_than the=nations which/who [were]_around_of,us on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in table_of,my )

This likely refers to Jews who lived in other countries but who came to Jerusalem. Their own communities may have sent them as representatives, or they may have come on their own for business or personal reasons. Alternate translation: [and we also fed the Jewish visitors who came from other countries around us]
