Connecting Statement:

Here begins a list of the people whose names were on the sealed document.

On the sealed documents were Nehemiah ... Zedekiah

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 ... Zedekiah" or "On the sealed documents were the names of the following people: Nehemiah ... Zedekiah" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)

sealed documents

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/jit/figs-pronouns)

Hakaliah

This is a man's name. See how you translated this in Nehemiah 1:1. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names)
