- neither I nor my brothers ate the food provided for the governor - "Neither my brothers nor I ate the food provided for the governor." This food was provided by the king and was part of what a governor was paid by the people. Because the people were starving, Nehemiah chose not to make use of this privilege.
- former governors - "previous governors" or "governors from the past" Nehemiah was not the first governor of Judah.
- took from them forty shekels of silver for their daily food and wine - AT: "from them forty shekels of silver in addition to daily food and wine."
