translationNotes
- I sent a messenger to them - Here (and in verse 4) "them" refers to Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem. (See: :en:bible🎶neh:06:01)
- and I cannot - "and I am unable to" or "and I am not able to"
- Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you? - This is a statement posed as a question that does not expect (and does not get) an answer. The purpose of the question is to challenge Sanballat. AT: "I will not let the work stop while I leave it and come down to you." (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
