TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:73–10:39 This section, perhaps originally a part of Ezra’s personal memoirs, describes how Ezra’s teaching of God’s law brought renewal of the people’s commitment to serve God and follow his instructions. Spiritual revival accompanied the civic work of Ezra and Nehemiah.

7:73 their own towns throughout Israel: Each family settled in the land that had been inhabited by their ancestors before the Exile.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

וַ⁠יֵּשְׁב֣וּ

(va⁠yyēshəⱱū)

At the end of 7:72, Nehemiah stops quoting from the document about the first group of people who returned to Judah. The story now goes on to tell what happened next. You could introduce this verse with a word or phrase that indicates this. Alternate translation: “And so … dwelt”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֣ים וְ⁠הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֡ם וְ⁠הַ⁠שּׁוֹעֲרִים֩ וְ⁠הַ⁠מְשֹׁרְרִ֨ים וּ⁠מִן־הָ⁠עָ֧ם וְ⁠הַ⁠נְּתִינִ֛ים וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

(ha⁠ⱪohₐniym və⁠ha⁠ləviyyim və⁠ha⁠shshōˊₐrīm və⁠ha⁠məshorriym ū⁠min-hā⁠ˊām və⁠ha⁠nnətīniym və⁠kāl-yisrāʼēl)

Five of the groups in this list are also named in the document about the people who returned from exile: the priests (verses 39–43), the Levites (verse 43), the gatekeepers (verse 45), the singers (verse 44), and the temple servants (verses 46–56). You can use those same names for these groups here. It is not immediately clear who “some from the people” are, and why they are not included in “all Israel.” You could just say “many ordinary people.” However, there is very similar list in 10:28 that names these same five groups and also describes people who dedicated themselves to following the law of God. That would unfortunately not have included all of Israel at this point, so that may be the distinction that is in view here. Alternate translation: “the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants, some people who dedicated themselves to follow the law, and the rest of the Israelites”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֵּשְׁב֣וּ & בְּ⁠עָרֵי⁠הֶ֑ם וַ⁠יִּגַּע֙ הַ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ הַ⁠שְּׁבִיעִ֔י וּ⁠בְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּ⁠עָרֵי⁠הֶֽם

(va⁠yyēshəⱱū & bə⁠ˊārēy⁠hem va⁠yyiggaˊ ha⁠ḩodesh ha⁠shshəⱱīˊiy ū⁠ⱱənēy yisrāʼēl bə⁠ˊārēy⁠hem)

The rebuilding of the wall was completed that year near the end of Elul, the sixth month of the Hebrew calendar. The implication is that everyone who had come to Jerusalem to work on the wall was then allowed to return home. Within about a week, by the beginning of the seventh month, they were all back home. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “So … returned to their homes, because the rebuilding of the wall had been completed. By the beginning of the next month, they were all back home.”

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

הַ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ הַ⁠שְּׁבִיעִ֔י

(ha⁠ḩodesh ha⁠shshəⱱīˊiy)

Alternate translation: “month seven”
