Nehemiah 第 7 章

1

Nehemiah 7:1

開啟正文

繁體中文

聖殿的看守直到今日是由守門的、歌唱的和利未人擔任的(1 Chronicles 26:1-19);照樣,如今全城的看守也交託給這同樣三類的人,因為他們的經驗表明他們正是最合適的人選。

英文原文

Since the watch of the temple had hitherto been kept by porters, singers, and Levites 1 Chronicles 26:1-19, so now the watch of the entire city was committed to men of the same three classes, their experience pointing them out as the most suitable persons.

Nehemiah 7:3

開啟正文

太陽高照以後——這是不尋常的預防措施。東方的慣常做法是在日出時分開啟城門。

Nehemiah 7:4

開啟正文

繁體中文

人民稀少——與所羅巴伯一同回歸的人數不過四萬二千三百六十名(Nehemiah 7:66)。與以斯拉同來的還不到二千人(Ezra 8:1-20)。

英文原文

The people were few - The number of those who returned with Zerubbabel was no more than 42,360 Nehemiah 7:66. Less than 2,000 people had come with Ezra Ezra 8:1-20.

Nehemiah 7:5

開啟正文

繁體中文

有人主張,隨後的整份名單(Nehemiah 7:7-73)並非「初次上來」之人的名冊,而是尼希米時代猶太人的名冊。然而 Nehemiah 7:7 與 Ezra 2:2 都十分明確地支持通常的見解;而反對這見解的一部分論據,據認為可這樣化解:把 Nehemiah 7:7 與 Ezra 2:2 中的尼希米視為與省長尼希米不同的另一個人,並把「Tirshatha」視為一個除了尼希米之外也可能屬於其他人的官銜(見 Ezra 2:63 註)。

英文原文

It is argued by some that the entire catalogue which follows Nehemiah 7:7-73 is not the register of them "which came up 'at the first'," but of the Jewish people in Nehemiah's time. Nehemiah 7:7 and Ezra 2:2 are, however, very positive in their support of the usual view; and some of the arguments against it are thought to be met by considering the Nehemiah of Nehemiah 7:7 and Ezra 2:2 a person different from Nehemiah the governor; and "Tirshatha" an official title likely to have belonged to others besides Nehemiah (see the Ezra 2:63 note.)

Nehemiah 7:70

開啟正文

繁體中文

尚無翻譯。

英文原文

Compared with Ezra 2:69 there is considerable difference between the totals for gold, silver, and garments. The usual explanation is that of corruption in the one or the other of the passages.

73

Nehemiah 7:73

開啟正文

繁體中文

尚無翻譯。

英文原文

Dwelt in their cities - Nehemiah's quotation from Zerubbabel's register ends here, and the narration of events in Jerusalem in his own day is resumed from Nehemiah 7:3. The narrative Nehemiah 8; 10 appears from internal evidence to be by a different author (see the introduction of the Book of Nehemiah).

The last two clauses of Nehemiah 7:73 should stand as the beginning of Nehemiah 8 (as in the Septuagint). The text would then run: "And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the whole people gathered themselves together as one man," etc. Compare the margin reference.
