# I am doing a great work
|
|
|
|
Nehemiah supervised the rebuilding of the wall. He did not build it by himself. AT: "We are doing a great work" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
|

|
# Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?
|
|
|
|
This rhetorical question is used to challenge Sanballat's request. This can be written as a statement. AT: "I cannot let the work stop and come down to you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# down to you
|
|
|
|
The word "down" is used here because the plain of Ono where they were requesting Nehemiah to come is at a lower elevation than Jerusalem.
