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 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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:20 our God will fight for us! Drawing on Israel’s ancient holy war tradition (Exod 14:14; Deut 1:30; 20:4; Josh 10:14; 23:10), Nehemiah encouraged the people that victory was certain if they trusted in the Lord.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־ק֣וֹל הַ⁠שּׁוֹפָ֔ר

(ʼet-qōl ha⁠shshōfār)

The implication is that the workers and guards would need to gather together to fight off an attack. The implication is also that while the people were widely scattered, they would all be able to hear the ram’s horn even from a distance, and so it would be an effective signal. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say these things explicitly. Alternate translation: “So if we all need to gather in one place to fight off an attack, I will have someone blow a ram’s horn there. You will be able to hear this signal from anywhere along the wall.”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

הַ⁠שּׁוֹפָ֔ר

(ha⁠shshōfār)

See how you translated this in 4:18. Review the explanation there if that would be helpful.

אֱלֹהֵ֖י⁠נוּ יִלָּ֥חֶם לָֽ⁠נוּ

(ʼₑlohēy⁠nū yillāḩem lā⁠nū)

This does not mean that God will fight instead of the Jews, but that God will take their side and help them win. Alternate translation: “God will help us defeat our enemies”
