The names of these people were written on the documents. This can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: "On the sealed documents were the names of Nehemiah ... Malchijah" or "On the sealed documents were the names of the following people: Nehemiah ... Malchijah" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
The documents were sealed after the names had been signed on the documents.
# Nehemiah
Some people believe that Nehemiah wrote this book and is speaking of himself as if he were someone else because this is an official list. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns]])
# Hakaliah
This is a man's name. See how you translated this in [Nehemiah 1:1](../01/01.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
