# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Nehemiah continues his prayer.
|
|
|
|
# Now
|
|
|
|
This word is used here to mark a break in Nehemiah's prayer. Here he begins to make his request based on Yahweh's promise.
|
|
|
|
# they are your servants
|
|
|
|
The word "they" refers to the Israelite people.
|
|
|
|
# by your great power and by your strong hand
|
|
|
|
Here "hand" represents strength or power. Together, these two phrases form a doublet that emphasizes the intensity of Yahweh's power. Alternate translation: "by your great power and by your mighty strength" or "by your very powerful strength" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
