Commentary on Nehemiah 9:22

Theological / Devotional

Corners. Hebrew pe’ah, “corner,” may also be translated “side,” “fringe,” or “border.” Since the kingdoms of Og and Sihon here mentioned were border territories of Israel, pe’ah should be translated accordingly.

And the land. As in verse 16 the we, “and,” should be rendered “namely” or “even.”
