NEH 3:9 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

and,at side_of,them repaired Rəfā\sup_yāh son_of Ḩūr chief half_of district_of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem)

In this chapter, when Nehemiah names a person, then names their father, and then describes a role, it is the first person, not their father, who was in that role. It will be helpful to your readers if you make this clear. Alternate translation: [Next to them, Rephaiah the son of Hur repaired part of the wall. Rephaiah ruled half of the district of Jerusalem]

Note 1 topic: translate-names

רְפָיָ֣ה בֶן־ח֔וּר

Rəfā\sup_yāh son_of Ḩūr

Note 2 topic: translate-fraction

חֲצִ֖י פֶּ֥לֶךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם

half_of district_of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem)

The city of Jerusalem and the surrounding area seem to have been divided into districts for administration. This is the name of one of those districts. Apparently it was so large and populous that it had been further divided into two parts, each with its own administrator. Alternate translation: [ruled half the district of Jerusalem]
