UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

גַּ֣ם ׀ בַּ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ⁠הֵ֗ם

also/yet in_the=days the=those

Nehemiah uses this phrase to introduce something else that was happening at the same time as the other events he has just described. Alternate translation: “During this time”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בַּ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ⁠הֵ֗ם

in_the=days the=those

The term days is used here to refer a particular period of time. Alternate translation: “at this time”

חֹרֵ֤י יְהוּדָה֙

nobles Yehuda

See how you translated this term in 2:16. Alternate translation: “the leading citizens of Judah”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מַרְבִּ֞ים & אִגְּרֹ֣תֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

many & letters,their

The implication is these citizens were sending information to Tobiah about Nehemiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “sent many messengers with letters to Tobiah to give him information about me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְ⁠טוֹבִיָּ֖ה בָּא֥וֹת אֲלֵי⁠הֶֽם

Here Nehemiah speaks of Tobiah’s letters as if they could come on their own to the people he was answering. Alternate translation: “Tobiah sent letters” or “Tobiah sent many messengers with letters”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְ⁠טוֹבִיָּ֖ה בָּא֥וֹת אֲלֵי⁠הֶֽם

and=which from,Tobiah came to,them

The implication is that Tobiah was sending back instructions to his allies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Tobiah sent many messengers with letters back to them with instructions”

Note 6 topic: translate-names

טוֹבִיָּ֑ה

Ţōⱱiy\sup_yāh
