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.

6:1-19 With the financial crisis solved (ch 5), the narrative returns to how the enemies of rebuilding tried to intimidate or eliminate Nehemiah.
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
וַיְהִ֣י
and=he/it_was
Nehemiah uses this phrase to introduce the next event in his story. You do not need to represent it in your translation unless your language has a similar expression that it characteristically uses.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
נִשְׁמַ֣ע
reported
This means that these enemies learned somehow that the wall was finished. Perhaps someone came and told them, or perhaps they received a written report. Nehemiah uses hearing, one means of discovering things, to describe these men learning this. Alternate translation: “when our enemies learned”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
כַאֲשֶׁ֣ר נִשְׁמַ֣ע & וּלְיֶ֣תֶר אֹֽיְבֵ֗ינוּ
as,when reported & and,to,rest enemies,our
If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: “when our enemies learned”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
לְסַנְבַלַּ֣ט וְ֠טוֹבִיָּה
to,Sanballat and,Tobiah
These are the names of men. See how you translated them in 2:10.
Note 5 topic: translate-names
וּלְגֶ֨שֶׁם
and,to,Geshem
This is the name of a man and his people group. See how you translated these names in 2:19.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
בָנִ֨יתִי֙ אֶת־הַ֣חוֹמָ֔ה
rebuilt DOM the,wall
As in 4:14, Nehemiah is using himself to represent the entire community that he is a part of. Alternate translation: “that we had finished rebuilding the wall”
Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
גַּ֚ם
also/yet
This term expresses a weak contrast between the sentence that comes before and the sentence that comes after. There was no break in the wall except for the spaces where the doors had not yet been hung in the gates. Alternate translation: “however”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
עַד־הָעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔יא דְּלָת֖וֹת לֹא־הֶעֱמַ֥דְתִּי בַשְּׁעָרִֽים
until the,time the,that doors not set_up in/on/at/with,gates
Once again Nehemiah is using himself to represent the entire community that he is a part of. Alternate translation: “we had not yet put the doors in the gates”
