Nehemiah’s Confidence in God

God gave Nehemiah favor in the eyes of a mighty Persian king so that the king responded favorably to all of Nehemiah’s requests (Neh 1:11; 2:8, 18). Nehemiah then had the confidence to present his bold plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and the people of Jerusalem responded positively, believing that God was able to give them success (2:18) and to protect them from their enemies (4:4-5, 9). They confidently continued with their work in spite of opposition because they knew that God fights for his people and frustrates the plans of the wicked (4:14-15, 20). When the walls of Jerusalem were finished, Nehemiah recognized that the entire difficult project was completed only because of God’s help (6:16).

The book of Nehemiah vividly demonstrates that God is all-powerful and able to accomplish his will, both in individual lives and in nations. The prayer in Nehemiah 9 focuses on praising God for his sovereign and powerful acts: God created the heavens and earth (9:6), called Abram from Ur, and gave the land to Israel (9:7-8, 22-25). The miraculous signs in Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision of guidance, food, and water in the wilderness all demonstrate God’s power over man and nature to provide for his people (9:9-15).

The Lord had sent the Israelites into exile after generations of persistent sin (9:32-37). Now he was fulfilling part of his promise to restore them (1:8-9). Nehemiah had the confidence to pray and lead because he knew that everything that happened was part of God’s sovereign plan. This same confidence in God led Abram to leave Ur and by faith go to an unknown land (Gen 12:1-3; Heb 11:8-10), caused Rahab to trust in God (Josh 2:9-14; Heb 11:31), and prompted Hezekiah not to give in to the demands of the Assyrian king Sennacherib (2 Kgs 18:1–19:37). Confidence comes when people believe that God will keep his promises and complete the work he has started in their lives (Phil 1:6).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠תִּתֵּ֨ן לָ⁠הֶ֤ם מַמְלָכוֹת֙ וַ⁠עֲמָמִ֔ים

and=she/it_gave to/for=them kingdoms and,peoples

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say explicitly how Yahweh did this. Alternate translation: “You helped our ancestors to defeat stronger armies so that they could conquer kingdoms and the people who lived in them”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וַ⁠תִּתֵּ֨ן לָ⁠הֶ֤ם מַמְלָכוֹת֙ וַ⁠עֲמָמִ֔ים

and=she/it_gave to/for=them kingdoms and,peoples

Kingdoms and peoples mean similar things. They are two different ways of describing the groups that the Israelites defeated. The repetition emphasizes how remarkable it was for Yahweh to enable the Israelites to defeat these stronger opponents. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these words into a single expression. Alternate translation: “you enabled them to defeat the nations that were living there”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַֽ⁠תַּחְלְקֵ֖⁠ם לְ⁠פֵאָ֑ה

and,allotted,them as,corner

Here the land of Canaan is described as if it were a regular shape that had defined corners. Alternate translation: “you enabled them to possess every part of the land”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ סִיח֗וֹן וְ⁠אֶת־אֶ֨רֶץ֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ חֶשְׁבּ֔וֹן

DOM earth/land Şīḩōn and=DOM earth/land king Ḩeshbōn

These two phrases mean the same thing. The repetition is used for clarity. You do not need to repeat both phrases in your translation if that would be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “the land over which King Sihon ruled from the city of Heshbon”

וְ⁠אֶת־אֶ֖רֶץ ע֥וֹג מֶֽלֶךְ־הַ⁠בָּשָֽׁן

and=DOM and=DOM earth/land ˊŌg king the,Bashan

Alternate translation: “Bashan, the land where King Og ruled”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

סִיח֗וֹן & ע֥וֹג

Şīḩōn & ˊŌg

These are the names of two kings.

Note 5 topic: translate-names

חֶשְׁבּ֔וֹן & הַ⁠בָּשָֽׁן

Ḩeshbōn & the,Bashan

These are names of the places where these two kings ruled.
