Nehemiah: Chapter 1

¹The words^H1697 of Nehemiah^H5166 the son^H1121 of Hachaliah^H2446. And it came to pass in the month^H2320 Chisleu^H3691, in the twentieth^H6242 year^H8141, as I was in Shushan^H7800 the palace^H1002, ²That Hanani^H2607, one^H0259 of my brethren^H0251, came^H0935, he and certain men^H0582 of Judah^H3063; and I asked^H7592 them concerning the Jews^H3064 that had escaped^H6413, which were left^H7604 of the captivity^H7628, and concerning Jerusalem^H3389. ³And they said^H0559 unto me, The remnant^H7604 that are left^H7604 of the captivity^H7628 there in the province^H4082 are in great^H1419 affliction^H7451 and reproach^H2781: the wall^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389 also is broken down^H6555, and the gates^H8179 thereof are burned^H3341 with fire^H0784.

⁴And it came to pass, when I heard^H8085 these words^H1697, that I sat down^H3427 and wept^H1058, and mourned^H0056 certain days^H3117, and fasted^H6684, and prayed^H6419 before^H6440 the God^H0430 of heaven^H8064,

⁵And said^H0559, I beseech^H0577 thee, O LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of heaven^H8064, the great^H1419 and terrible^H3372 God^H0410, that keepeth^H8104 covenant^H1285 and mercy^H2617 for them that love^H0157 him and observe^H8104 his commandments^H4687: ⁶Let thine ear^H0241 now be attentive^H7183, and thine eyes^H5869 open^H6605, that thou mayest hear^H8085 the prayer^H8605 of thy servant^H5650, which I pray^H6419 before^H6440 thee now^H3117, day^H3119 and night^H3915, for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 thy servants^H5650, and confess^H3034 the sins^H2403 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, which we have sinned^H2398 against thee: both I and my fathers^H0001 house^H1004 have sinned^H2398. ⁷We have dealt very^H2254 corruptly^H2254 against thee, and have not kept^H8104 the commandments^H4687, nor the statutes^H2706, nor the judgments^H4941, which thou commandedst^H6680 thy servant^H5650 Moses^H4872. ⁸Remember^H2142, I beseech thee, the word^H1697 that thou commandedst^H6680 thy servant^H5650 Moses^H4872, saying^H0559, If ye transgress^H4603, I will scatter you abroad^H6327 among the nations^H5971: ⁹But if ye turn^H7725 unto me, and keep^H8104 my commandments^H4687, and do^H6213 them; though there were of you cast out^H5080 unto the uttermost part^H7097 of the heaven^H8064, yet will I gather^H6908 them from thence, and will bring^H0935 them unto the place^H4725 that I have chosen^H0977 to set^H7931 my name^H8034 there. ¹⁰Now these are thy servants^H5650 and thy people^H5971, whom thou hast redeemed^H6299 by thy great^H1419 power^H3581, and by thy strong^H2389 hand^H3027. ¹¹O Lord^H0136, I beseech^H0577 thee, let now thine ear^H0241 be attentive^H7183 to the prayer^H8605 of thy servant^H5650, and to the prayer^H8605 of thy servants^H5650, who desire^H2655 to fear^H3372 thy name^H8034: and prosper^H6743, I pray thee, thy servant^H5650 this day^H3117, and grant^H5414 him mercy^H7356 in the sight^H6440 of this man^H0376. For I was the kings^H4428 cupbearer^H8248.

Nehemiah: Chapter 2

¹And it came to pass in the month^H2320 Nisan^H5212, in the twentieth^H6242 year^H8141 of Artaxerxes^H0783 the king^H4428, that wine^H3196 was before^H6440 him: and I took up^H5375 the wine^H3196, and gave^H5414 it unto the king^H4428. Now I had not been beforetime sad^H7451 in his presence^H6440. ²Wherefore the king^H4428 said^H0559 unto me, Why is thy countenance^H6440 sad^H7451, seeing thou art not sick^H2470? this is nothing else but sorrow^H7455 of heart^H3820. Then I was very^H3966 sore^H7235 afraid^H3372, ³And said^H0559 unto the king^H4428, Let the king^H4428 live^H2421 for ever^H5769: why should not my countenance^H6440 be sad^H3415, when the city^H5892, the place^H1004 of my fathers^H0001 sepulchres^H6913, lieth waste^H2720, and the gates^H8179 thereof are consumed^H0398 with fire^H0784? ⁴Then the king^H4428 said^H0559 unto me, For what dost thou make request^H1245? So I prayed^H6419 to the God^H0430 of heaven^H8064. ⁵And I said^H0559 unto the king^H4428, If it please^H2895 the king^H4428, and if thy servant^H5650 have found favour^H3190 in thy sight^H6440, that thou wouldest send^H7971 me unto Judah^H3063, unto the city^H5892 of my fathers^H0001 sepulchres^H6913, that I may build^H1129 it. ⁶And the king^H4428 said^H0559 unto me, (the queen^H7694 also sitting^H3427 by him^H0681,) For how long shall thy journey^H4109 be? and when wilt thou return^H7725? So it pleased^H3190 the king^H4428 to send^H7971 me; and I set^H5414 him a time^H2165. ⁷Moreover I said^H0559 unto the king^H4428, If it please^H2895 the king^H4428, let letters^H0107 be given^H5414 me to the governors^H6346 beyond^H5676 the river^H5104, that they may convey me over^H5674 till I come^H0935 into Judah^H3063; ⁸And a letter^H0107 unto Asaph^H0623 the keeper^H8104 of the kings^H4428 forest^H6508, that he may give^H5414 me timber^H6086 to make beams^H7136 for the gates^H8179 of the palace^H1002 which appertained to the house^H1004, and for the wall^H2346 of the city^H5892, and for the house^H1004 that I shall enter into^H0935. And the king^H4428 granted^H5414 me, according to the good^H2896 hand^H3027 of my God^H0430 upon me.

⁹Then I came^H0935 to the governors^H6346 beyond^H5676 the river^H5104, and gave^H5414 them the kings^H4428 letters^H0107. Now the king^H4428 had sent^H7971 captains^H8269 of the army^H2428 and horsemen^H6571 with me. ¹⁰When Sanballat^H5571 the Horonite^H2772, and Tobiah^H2900 the servant^H5650, the Ammonite^H5984, heard^H8085 of it , it grieved^H3415 them exceedingly^H7451 that there was come^H0935 a man^H0120 to seek^H1245 the welfare^H2896 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478. ¹¹So I came^H0935 to Jerusalem^H3389, and was there three^H7969 days^H3117.

¹²And I arose^H6965 in the night^H3915, I and some^H4592 few^H4592 men^H0582 with me; neither told^H5046 I any man^H0120 what my God^H0430 had put^H5414 in my heart^H3820 to do^H6213 at Jerusalem^H3389: neither was there any beast^H0929 with me, save the beast^H0929 that I rode upon^H7392. ¹³And I went out^H3318 by night^H3915 by the gate^H8179 of the valley^H1516, even before^H6440 the dragon^H8577 well^H5869, and to the dung^H0830 port^H8179, and viewed^H7663 the walls^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389, which were broken down^H6555, and the gates^H8179 thereof were consumed^H0398 with fire^H0784. ¹⁴Then I went on^H5674 to the gate^H8179 of the fountain^H5869, and to the kings^H4428 pool^H1295: but there was no place^H4725 for the beast^H0929 that was under me to pass^H5674. ¹⁵Then went I up^H5927 in the night^H3915 by the brook^H5158, and viewed^H7663 the wall^H2346, and turned back^H7725, and entered^H0935 by the gate^H8179 of the valley^H1516, and so returned^H7725. ¹⁶And the rulers^H5461 knew^H3045 not whither I went^H1980, or what I did^H6213; neither had I as yet^H3651 told^H5046 it to the Jews^H3064, nor to the priests^H3548, nor to the nobles^H2715, nor to the rulers^H5461, nor to the rest^H3499 that did^H6213 the work^H4399.

¹⁷Then said^H0559 I unto them, Ye see^H7200 the distress^H7451 that we are in, how Jerusalem^H3389 lieth waste^H2720, and the gates^H8179 thereof are burned^H3341 with fire^H0784: come^H3212, and let us build up^H1129 the wall^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389, that we be no more a reproach^H2781. ¹⁸Then I told^H5046 them of the hand^H3027 of my God^H0430 which was good^H2896 upon me; as also the kings^H4428 words^H1697 that he had spoken^H0559 unto me. And they said^H0559, Let us rise up^H6965 and build^H1129. So they strengthened^H2388 their hands^H3027 for this good^H2896 work . ¹⁹But when Sanballat^H5571 the Horonite^H2772, and Tobiah^H2900 the servant^H5650, the Ammonite^H5984, and Geshem^H1654 the Arabian^H6163, heard^H8085 it , they laughed us to scorn^H3932, and despised^H0959 us, and said^H0559, What is this thing^H1697 that ye do^H6213? will ye rebel^H4775 against the king^H4428? ²⁰Then answered^H7725 I them, and said^H0559 unto them, The God^H0430 of heaven^H8064, he will prosper^H6743 us; therefore we his servants^H5650 will arise^H6965 and build^H1129: but ye have no portion^H2506, nor right^H6666, nor memorial^H2146, in Jerusalem^H3389.

Nehemiah: Chapter 3

¹Then Eliashib^H0475 the high^H1419 priest^H3548 rose up^H6965 with his brethren^H0251 the priests^H3548, and they builded^H1129 the sheep^H6629 gate^H8179; they sanctified^H6942 it, and set up^H5975 the doors^H1817 of it; even unto the tower^H4026 of Meah^H3968 they sanctified^H6942 it, unto the tower^H4026 of Hananeel^H2606. ²And next unto him^H3027 builded^H1129 the men^H0582 of Jericho^H3405.

Next unto him^H3027 also repaired^H2388 Hananiah^H2608 the son^H1121 of one of the apothecaries^H7546, and they fortified^H5800 Jerusalem^H3389 unto the broad^H7342 wall^H2346. ⁹And next unto them^H3027 repaired^H2388 Rephaiah^H7509 the son^H1121 of Hur^H2354, the ruler^H8269 of the half^H2677 part^H6418 of Jerusalem^H3389. ¹⁰And next unto them^H3027 repaired^H2388 Jedaiah^H3042 the son^H1121 of Harumaph^H2739, even over against his house^H1004.

Nehemiah: Chapter 4

¹But it came to pass, that when Sanballat^H5571 heard^H8085 that we builded^H1129 the wall^H2346, he was wroth^H2734, and took great^H7235 indignation^H3707, and mocked^H3932 the Jews^H3064. ²And he spake^H0559 before^H6440 his brethren^H0251 and the army^H2428 of Samaria^H8111, and said^H0559, What do^H6213 these feeble^H0537 Jews^H3064? will they fortify^H5800 themselves? will they sacrifice^H2076? will they make an end^H3615 in a day^H3117? will they revive^H2421 the stones^H0068 out of the heaps^H6194 of the rubbish^H6083 which are burned^H8313? ³Now Tobiah^H2900 the Ammonite^H5984 was by him^H0681, and he said^H0559, Even that which they build^H1129, if a fox^H7776 go up^H5927, he shall even break down^H6555 their stone^H0068 wall^H2346. ⁴Hear^H8085, O our God^H0430; for we are despised^H0939: and turn^H7725 their reproach^H2781 upon their own head^H7218, and give^H5414 them for a prey^H0961 in the land^H0776 of captivity^H7633: ⁵And cover^H3680 not their iniquity^H5771, and let not their sin^H2403 be blotted out^H4229 from before^H6440 thee: for they have provoked thee to anger^H3707 before the builders^H1129. ⁶So built^H1129 we the wall^H2346; and all the wall^H2346 was joined together^H7194 unto the half^H2677 thereof: for the people^H5971 had a mind^H3820 to work^H6213.

⁷But it came to pass, that when Sanballat^H5571, and Tobiah^H2900, and the Arabians^H6163, and the Ammonites^H5984, and the Ashdodites^H0796, heard^H8085 that the walls^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389 were made up^H0724, and that the breaches^H6555 began^H2490 to be stopped^H5640, then they were very^H3966 wroth^H2734, ⁸And conspired^H7194 all of them together^H3162 to come^H0935 and to fight^H3898 against Jerusalem^H3389, and to hinder^H6213 it. ⁹Nevertheless we made our prayer^H6419 unto our God^H0430, and set^H5975 a watch^H4929 against them day^H3119 and night^H3915, because^H6440 of them. ¹⁰And Judah^H3063 said^H0559, The strength^H3581 of the bearers of burdens^H5449 is decayed^H3782, and there is much^H7235 rubbish^H6083; so that we are not able^H3201 to build^H1129 the wall^H2346. ¹¹And our adversaries^H6862 said^H0559, They shall not know^H3045, neither see^H7200, till we come^H0935 in the midst^H8432 among^H8432 them, and slay^H2026 them, and cause the work^H4399 to cease^H7673. ¹²And it came to pass, that when the Jews^H3064 which dwelt^H3427 by them^H0681 came^H0935, they said^H0559 unto us ten^H6235 times^H6471, From all places^H4725 whence ye shall return^H7725 unto us they will be upon you .

¹³Therefore set^H5975 I in the lower^H8482 places^H4725 behind^H0310 the wall^H2346, and on the higher places^H6706, I even set^H5975 the people^H5971 after their families^H4940 with their swords^H2719, their spears^H7420, and their bows^H7198. ¹⁴And I looked^H7200, and rose up^H6965, and said^H0559 unto the nobles^H2715, and to the rulers^H5461, and to the rest^H3499 of the people^H5971, Be not ye afraid^H3372 of them^H6440: remember^H2142 the Lord^H0136, which is great^H1419 and terrible^H3372, and fight^H3898 for your brethren^H0251, your sons^H1121, and your daughters^H1323, your wives^H0802, and your houses^H1004. ¹⁵And it came to pass, when our enemies^H0341 heard^H8085 that it was known^H3045 unto us, and God^H0430 had brought^H6565 their counsel^H6098 to nought^H6565, that we returned^H7725 all of us to the wall^H2346, every one^H0376 unto his work^H4399.

¹⁶And it came to pass from that time^H3117 forth, that the half^H2677 of my servants^H5288 wrought^H6213 in the work^H4399, and the other half^H2677 of them held^H2388 both the spears^H7420, the shields^H4043, and the bows^H7198, and the habergeons^H8302; and the rulers^H8269 were behind^H0310 all the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063. ¹⁷They which builded^H1129 on the wall^H2346, and they that bare^H5375 burdens^H5447, with those that laded^H6006, every one with one^H0259 of his hands^H3027 wrought^H6213 in the work^H4399, and with the other^H0259 hand held^H2388 a weapon^H7973. ¹⁸For the builders^H1129, every one^H0376 had his sword^H2719 girded^H0631 by his side^H4975, and so builded^H1129. And he that sounded^H8628 the trumpet^H7782 was by me^H0681.

¹⁹And I said^H0559 unto the nobles^H2715, and to the rulers^H5461, and to the rest^H3499 of the people^H5971, The work^H4399 is great^H7235 and large^H7342, and we are separated^H6504 upon the wall^H2346, one^H0376 far from^H7350 another^H0251. ²⁰In what place^H4725 therefore ye hear^H8085 the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782, resort^H6908 ye thither unto us: our God^H0430 shall fight^H3898 for us. ²¹So we laboured^H6213 in the work^H4399: and half^H2677 of them held^H2388 the spears^H7420 from the rising^H5927 of the morning^H7837 till the stars^H3556 appeared^H3318. ²²Likewise at the same time^H6256 said^H0559 I unto the people^H5971, Let every one^H0376 with his servant^H5288 lodge^H3885 within^H8432 Jerusalem^H3389, that in the night^H3915 they may be a guard^H4929 to us, and labour^H4399 on the day^H3117. ²³So neither I, nor my brethren^H0251, nor my servants^H5288, nor the men^H0582 of the guard^H4929 which followed^H0310 me, none of us^H0587 put off^H6584 our clothes^H0899, saving that every one^H0376 put them off^H7973 for washing^H4325.

Nehemiah: Chapter 5

¹And there was a great^H1419 cry^H6818 of the people^H5971 and of their wives^H0802 against their brethren^H0251 the Jews^H3064. ²For there were^H3426 that said^H0559, We, our sons^H1121, and our daughters^H1323, are many^H7227: therefore we take up^H3947 corn^H1715 for them , that we may eat^H0398, and live^H2421. ³ Some also there were^H3426 that said^H0559, We have mortgaged^H6148 our lands^H7704, vineyards^H3754, and houses^H1004, that we might buy^H3947 corn^H1715, because of the dearth^H7458. ⁴There were^H3426 also that said^H0559, We have borrowed^H3867 money^H3701 for the kings^H4428 tribute^H4060, and that upon our lands^H7704 and vineyards^H3754. ⁵Yet now our flesh^H1320 is as the flesh^H1320 of our brethren^H0251, our children^H1121 as their children^H1121: and, lo, we bring into bondage^H3533 our sons^H1121 and our daughters^H1323 to be servants^H5650, and some of our daughters^H1323 are^H3426 brought unto bondage^H3533 already: neither is it in our power^H0410 to redeem them; for other men^H0312 have our lands^H7704 and vineyards^H3754.

⁶And I was very^H3966 angry^H2734 when I heard^H8085 their cry^H2201 and these words^H1697. ⁷Then I consulted^H4427 with myself^H3820, and I rebuked^H7378 the nobles^H2715, and the rulers^H5461, and said^H0559 unto them, Ye exact^H5378 usury^H4855, every one^H0376 of his brother^H0251. And I set^H5414 a great^H1419 assembly^H6952 against them. ⁸And I said^H0559 unto them, We after our ability^H1767 have redeemed^H7069 our brethren^H0251 the Jews^H3064, which were sold^H4376 unto the heathen^H1471; and will ye even sell^H4376 your brethren^H0251? or shall they be sold^H4376 unto us? Then held they their peace^H2790, and found^H4672 nothing^H1697 to answer . ⁹Also I said^H0559, It is not good^H2896 that^H1697 ye do^H6213: ought ye not to walk^H3212 in the fear^H3374 of our God^H0430 because of the reproach^H2781 of the heathen^H1471 our enemies^H0341? ¹⁰I likewise, and my brethren^H0251, and my servants^H5288, might exact^H5383 of them money^H3701 and corn^H1715: I pray you, let us leave off^H5800 this usury^H4855. ¹¹Restore^H7725, I pray you, to them, even this day^H3117, their lands^H7704, their vineyards^H3754, their oliveyards^H2132, and their houses^H1004, also the hundredth^H3967 part of the money^H3701, and of the corn^H1715, the wine^H8492, and the oil^H3323, that ye exact^H5383 of them. ¹²Then said^H0559 they, We will restore^H7725 them , and will require^H1245 nothing of them; so will we do^H6213 as thou sayest^H0559. Then I called^H7121 the priests^H3548, and took an oath^H7650 of them, that they should do^H6213 according to this promise^H1697. ¹³Also I shook^H5287 my lap^H2684, and said^H0559, So God^H0430 shake out^H5287 every man^H0376 from his house^H1004, and from his labour^H3018, that performeth^H6965 not this promise^H1697, even thus be he shaken out^H5287, and emptied^H7386. And all the congregation^H6951 said^H0559, Amen^H0543, and praised^H1984 the LORD^H3068. And the people^H5971 did^H6213 according to this promise^H1697.

¹⁴Moreover from the time^H3117 that I was appointed^H6680 to be their governor^H6346 in the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063, from the twentieth^H6242 year^H8141 even unto the two^H8147 and thirtieth^H7970 year^H8141 of Artaxerxes^H0783 the king^H4428, that is , twelve^H8147 years^H8141, I and my brethren^H0251 have not eaten^H0398 the bread^H3899 of the governor^H6346. ¹⁵But the former^H7223 governors^H6346 that had been before^H6440 me were chargeable^H3513 unto the people^H5971, and had taken^H3947 of them bread^H3899 and wine^H3196, beside^H0310 forty^H0705 shekels^H8255 of silver^H3701; yea, even^H1571 their servants^H5288 bare rule^H7980 over the people^H5971: but so did^H6213 not I, because^H6440 of the fear^H3374 of God^H0430. ¹⁶Yea, also I continued^H2388 in the work^H4399 of this wall^H2346, neither bought^H7069 we any land^H7704: and all my servants^H5288 were gathered^H6908 thither unto the work^H4399. ¹⁷Moreover there were at my table^H7979 an hundred^H3967 and fifty^H2572 of the Jews^H3064 and rulers^H5461, beside those that came^H0935 unto us from among the heathen^H1471 that are about us^H5439. ¹⁸Now that which was prepared^H6213 for me daily^H3117 was one^H0259 ox^H7794 and six^H8337 choice^H1305 sheep^H6629; also fowls^H6833 were prepared^H6213 for me, and once in ten^H6235 days^H3117 store^H7235 of all sorts of wine^H3196: yet for all^H5973 this required^H1245 not I the bread^H3899 of the governor^H6346, because the bondage^H5656 was heavy^H3513 upon this people^H5971. ¹⁹Think^H2142 upon me, my God^H0430, for good^H2896, according to all that I have done^H6213 for this people^H5971.

Nehemiah: Chapter 6

¹Now it came to pass, when Sanballat^H5571, and Tobiah^H2900, and Geshem^H1654 the Arabian^H6163, and the rest^H3499 of our enemies^H0341, heard^H8085 that I had builded^H1129 the wall^H2346, and that there was no breach^H6556 left^H3498 therein; (though^H1571 at that time^H6256 I had not set up^H5975 the doors^H1817 upon the gates^H8179;) ²That Sanballat^H5571 and Geshem^H1654 sent^H7971 unto me, saying^H0559, Come^H3212, let us meet^H3259 together^H3162 in some one of the villages^H3715 in the plain^H1237 of Ono^H0207. But they thought^H2803 to do^H6213 me mischief^H7451. ³And I sent^H7971 messengers^H4397 unto them, saying^H0559, I am doing^H6213 a great^H1419 work^H4399, so that I cannot^H3201 come down^H3381: why should the work^H4399 cease^H7673, whilst^H0834 I leave^H7503 it, and come down^H3381 to you? ⁴Yet they sent^H7971 unto me four^H0702 times^H6471 after this sort^H1697; and I answered^H7725 them after the same manner^H1697. ⁵Then sent^H7971 Sanballat^H5571 his servant^H5288 unto me in like manner^H1697 the fifth^H2549 time^H6471 with an open^H6605 letter^H0107 in his hand^H3027; ⁶Wherein was written^H3789, It is reported^H8085 among the heathen^H1471, and Gashmu^H1654 saith^H0559 it, that thou and the Jews^H3064 think^H2803 to rebel^H4775: for which cause^H3651 thou buildest^H1129 the wall^H2346, that thou mayest be^H1933 their king^H4428, according to these words^H1697. ⁷And thou hast also appointed^H5975 prophets^H5030 to preach^H7121 of thee at Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H0559, There is a king^H4428 in Judah^H3063: and now shall it be reported^H8085 to the king^H4428 according to these words^H1697. Come^H3212 now therefore, and let us take counsel^H3289 together^H3162. ⁸Then I sent^H7971 unto him, saying^H0559, There are^H1961 no such things^H1697 done^H1961 as thou sayest^H0559, but thou feignest^H0908 them out of thine own heart^H3820. ⁹For they all made us afraid^H3372, saying^H0559, Their hands^H3027 shall be weakened^H7503 from the work^H4399, that it be not done^H6213. Now therefore, O God , strengthen^H2388 my hands^H3027.

¹⁰Afterward I came^H0935 unto the house^H1004 of Shemaiah^H8098 the son^H1121 of Delaiah^H1806 the son^H1121 of Mehetabeel^H4105, who was shut up^H6113; and he said^H0559, Let us meet together^H3259 in the house^H1004 of God^H0430, within^H8432 the temple^H1964, and let us shut^H5462 the doors^H1817 of the temple^H1964: for they will come^H0935 to slay^H2026 thee; yea, in the night^H3915 will they come^H0935 to slay^H2026 thee. ¹¹And I said^H0559, Should such^H3644 a man^H0376 as I flee^H1272? and who is there , that, being as I am , would go^H0935 into the temple^H1964 to save his life^H2425? I will not go in^H0935. ¹²And, lo, I perceived^H5234 that God^H0430 had not sent^H7971 him; but that he pronounced^H1696 this prophecy^H5016 against me: for Tobiah^H2900 and Sanballat^H5571 had hired^H7936 him. ¹³Therefore was he hired^H7936, that I should be afraid^H3372, and do so^H6213, and sin^H2398, and that they might have matter for an evil^H7451 report^H8034, that they might reproach^H2778 me. ¹⁴My God^H0430, think^H2142 thou upon Tobiah^H2900 and Sanballat^H5571 according to these their works^H4639, and on the prophetess^H5031 Noadiah^H5129, and the rest^H3499 of the prophets^H5030, that would have put me in fear^H3372.

¹⁵So the wall^H2346 was finished^H7999 in the twenty^H6242 and fifth^H2568 day of the month Elul^H0435, in fifty^H2572 and two^H8147 days^H3117. ¹⁶And it came to pass, that when all our enemies^H0341 heard^H8085 thereof , and all the heathen^H1471 that were about us^H5439 saw^H7200 these things , they were much^H3966 cast down^H5307 in their own eyes^H5869: for they perceived^H3045 that this work^H4399 was wrought^H6213 of our God^H0430.

¹⁷Moreover in those days^H3117 the nobles^H2715 of Judah^H3063 sent^H1980 many^H7235 letters^H0107 unto Tobiah^H2900, and the letters of Tobiah^H2900 came^H0935 unto them. ¹⁸For there were many^H7227 in Judah^H3063 sworn^H1167 unto him, because he was the son in law^H2860 of Shechaniah^H7935 the son^H1121 of Arah^H0733; and his son^H1121 Johanan^H3076 had taken^H3947 the daughter^H1323 of Meshullam^H4918 the son^H1121 of Berechiah^H1296. ¹⁹Also they reported^H0559 his good deeds^H2896 before^H6440 me, and uttered^H3318 my words^H1697 to him. And Tobiah^H2900 sent^H7971 letters^H0107 to put me in fear^H3372.

Nehemiah: Chapter 7

¹Now it came to pass, when the wall^H2346 was built^H1129, and I had set up^H5975 the doors^H1817, and the porters^H7778 and the singers^H7891 and the Levites^H3881 were appointed^H6485, ²That I gave my brother^H0251 Hanani^H2607, and Hananiah^H2608 the ruler^H8269 of the palace^H1002, charge^H6680 over Jerusalem^H3389: for he was a faithful^H0571 man^H0376, and feared^H3372 God^H0430 above many^H7227. ³And I said^H0559 unto them, Let not the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389 be opened^H6605 until the sun^H8121 be hot^H2527; and while they stand by^H5975, let them shut^H1479 the doors^H1817, and bar^H0270 them: and appoint^H5975 watches^H4931 of the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, every one^H0376 in his watch^H4929, and every one^H0376 to be over against his house^H1004. ⁴Now the city^H5892 was large^H7342 and great^H1419: but the people^H5971 were few^H4592 therein^H8432, and the houses^H1004 were not builded^H1129.

⁵And my God^H0430 put^H5414 into mine heart^H3820 to gather together^H6908 the nobles^H2715, and the rulers^H5461, and the people^H5971, that they might be reckoned by genealogy^H3187. And I found^H4672 a register^H5612 of the genealogy^H3188 of them which came up^H5927 at the first^H7223, and found^H4672 written^H3789 therein, ⁶These are the children^H1121 of the province^H4082, that went up^H5927 out of the captivity^H7628, of those that had been carried away^H1473, whom Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 had carried away^H1540, and came again^H7725 to Jerusalem^H3389 and to Judah^H3063, every one^H0376 unto his city^H5892; ⁷Who came^H0935 with Zerubbabel^H2216, Jeshua^H3442, Nehemiah^H5166, Azariah^H5838, Raamiah^H7485, Nahamani^H5167, Mordecai^H4782, Bilshan^H1114, Mispereth^H4559, Bigvai^H0902, Nehum^H5149, Baanah^H1196.

Nehemiah: Chapter 8

¹And all the people^H5971 gathered themselves together^H0622 as one^H0259 man^H0376 into the street^H7339 that was before^H6440 the water^H4325 gate^H8179; and they spake^H0559 unto Ezra^H5830 the scribe^H5608 to bring^H0935 the book^H5612 of the law^H8451 of Moses^H4872, which the LORD^H3068 had commanded^H6680 to Israel^H3478. ²And Ezra^H5830 the priest^H3548 brought^H0935 the law^H8451 before^H6440 the congregation^H6951 both of men^H0376 and women^H0802, and all that could hear^H8085 with understanding^H0995, upon the first^H0259 day^H3117 of the seventh^H7637 month^H2320. ³And he read^H7121 therein before^H6440 the street^H7339 that was before^H6440 the water^H4325 gate^H8179 from the morning^H0216 until midday^H4276, before the men^H0582 and the women^H0802, and those that could understand^H0995; and the ears^H0241 of all the people^H5971 were attentive unto the book^H5612 of the law^H8451. ⁴And Ezra^H5830 the scribe^H5608 stood^H5975 upon a pulpit^H4026 of wood^H6086, which they had made^H6213 for the purpose^H1697; and beside^H0681 him stood^H5975 Mattithiah^H4993, and Shema^H8087, and Anaiah^H6043, and Urijah^H0223, and Hilkiah^H2518, and Maaseiah^H4641, on his right hand^H3225; and on his left hand^H8040, Pedaiah^H6305, and Mishael^H4332, and Malchiah^H4441, and Hashum^H2828, and Hashbadana^H2806, Zechariah^H2148, and Meshullam^H4918. ⁵And Ezra^H5830 opened^H6605 the book^H5612 in the sight^H5869 of all the people^H5971; (for he was above all the people^H5971;) and when he opened^H6605 it, all the people^H5971 stood up^H5975: ⁶And Ezra^H5830 blessed^H1288 the LORD^H3068, the great^H1419 God^H0430. And all the people^H5971 answered^H6030, Amen^H0543, Amen^H0543, with lifting up^H4607 their hands^H3027: and they bowed^H6915 their heads, and worshipped^H7812 the LORD^H3068 with their faces^H0639 to the ground^H0776. ⁷Also Jeshua^H3442, and Bani^H1137, and Sherebiah^H8274, Jamin^H3226, Akkub^H6126, Shabbethai^H7678, Hodijah^H1941, Maaseiah^H4641, Kelita^H7042, Azariah^H5838, Jozabad^H3107, Hanan^H2605, Pelaiah^H6411, and the Levites^H3881, caused the people^H5971 to understand^H0995 the law^H8451: and the people^H5971 stood in their place^H5977. ⁸So they read^H7121 in the book^H5612 in the law^H8451 of God^H0430 distinctly^H6567, and gave^H7760 the sense^H7922, and caused them to understand^H0995 the reading^H4744.

⁹And Nehemiah^H5166, which is the Tirshatha^H8660, and Ezra^H5830 the priest^H3548 the scribe^H5608, and the Levites^H3881 that taught^H0995 the people^H5971, said^H0559 unto all the people^H5971, This day^H3117 is holy^H6918 unto the LORD^H3068 your God^H0430; mourn^H0056 not, nor weep^H1058. For all the people^H5971 wept^H1058, when they heard^H8085 the words^H1697 of the law^H8451. ¹⁰Then he said^H0559 unto them, Go your way^H3212, eat^H0398 the fat^H4924, and drink^H8354 the sweet^H4477, and send^H7971 portions^H4490 unto them for whom nothing is prepared^H3559: for this day^H3117 is holy^H6918 unto our Lord^H0113: neither be ye sorry^H6087; for the joy^H2304 of the LORD^H3068 is your strength^H4581. ¹¹So the Levites^H3881 stilled^H2814 all the people^H5971, saying^H0559, Hold your peace^H2013, for the day^H3117 is holy^H6918; neither be ye grieved^H6087. ¹²And all the people^H5971 went their way^H3212 to eat^H0398, and to drink^H8354, and to send^H7971 portions^H4490, and to make^H6213 great^H1419 mirth^H8057, because they had understood^H0995 the words^H1697 that were declared^H3045 unto them.

¹³And on the second^H8145 day^H3117 were gathered together^H0622 the chief^H7218 of the fathers^H0001 of all the people^H5971, the priests^H3548, and the Levites^H3881, unto Ezra^H5830 the scribe^H5608, even to understand^H7919 the words^H1697 of the law^H8451. ¹⁴And they found^H4672 written^H3789 in the law^H8451 which the LORD^H3068 had commanded^H6680 by^H3027 Moses^H4872, that the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 should dwell^H3427 in booths^H5521 in the feast^H2282 of the seventh^H7637 month^H2320: ¹⁵And that they should publish^H8085 and proclaim^H5674 in all their cities^H5892, and in Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H0559, Go forth^H3318 unto the mount^H2022, and fetch^H0935 olive^H2132 branches^H5929, and pine^H8081 branches^H6086, and myrtle^H1918 branches^H5929, and palm^H8558 branches^H5929, and branches^H5929 of thick^H5687 trees^H6086, to make^H6213 booths^H5521, as it is written^H3789.

¹⁶So the people^H5971 went forth^H3318, and brought^H0935 them , and made^H6213 themselves booths^H5521, every one^H0376 upon the roof of his house^H1406, and in their courts^H2691, and in the courts^H2691 of the house^H1004 of God^H0430, and in the street^H7339 of the water^H4325 gate^H8179, and in the street^H7339 of the gate^H8179 of Ephraim^H0669. ¹⁷And all the congregation^H6951 of them that were come again^H7725 out of the captivity^H7628 made^H6213 booths^H5521, and sat^H3427 under the booths^H5521: for since the days^H3117 of Jeshua^H3442 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126 unto that day^H3117 had not the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 done so^H6213. And there was very^H3966 great^H1419 gladness^H8057. ¹⁸Also day^H3117 by day^H3117, from the first^H7223 day^H3117 unto the last^H0314 day^H3117, he read^H7121 in the book^H5612 of the law^H8451 of God^H0430. And they kept^H6213 the feast^H2282 seven^H7651 days^H3117; and on the eighth^H8066 day^H3117 was a solemn assembly^H6116, according unto the manner^H4941.

Nehemiah: Chapter 9

¹Now in the twenty^H6242 and fourth^H0702 day^H3117 of this month^H2320 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 were assembled^H0622 with fasting^H6685, and with sackclothes^H8242, and earth^H0127 upon them. ²And the seed^H2233 of Israel^H3478 separated^H0914 themselves from all strangers^H1121, and stood^H5975 and confessed^H3034 their sins^H2403, and the iniquities^H5771 of their fathers^H0001. ³And they stood up^H6965 in their place^H5977, and read^H7121 in the book^H5612 of the law^H8451 of the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430 one fourth part^H7243 of the day^H3117; and another fourth part^H7243 they confessed^H3034, and worshipped^H7812 the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430.

⁴Then stood up^H6965 upon the stairs^H4608, of the Levites^H3881, Jeshua^H3442, and Bani^H1137, Kadmiel^H6934, Shebaniah^H7645, Bunni^H1138, Sherebiah^H8274, Bani^H1137, and Chenani^H3662, and cried^H2199 with a loud^H1419 voice^H6963 unto the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430. ⁵Then the Levites^H3881, Jeshua^H3442, and Kadmiel^H6934, Bani^H1137, Hashabniah^H2813, Sherebiah^H8274, Hodijah^H1941, Shebaniah^H7645, and Pethahiah^H6611, said^H0559, Stand up^H6965 and bless^H1288 the LORD^H3068 your God^H0430 for ever^H5769 and ever^H5769: and blessed^H1288 be thy glorious^H3519 name^H8034, which is exalted^H7311 above all blessing^H1293 and praise^H8416. ⁶Thou, even thou, art LORD^H3068 alone; thou hast made^H6213 heaven^H8064, the heaven^H8064 of heavens^H8064, with all their host^H6635, the earth^H0776, and all things that are therein, the seas^H3220, and all that is therein, and thou preservest^H2421 them all; and the host^H6635 of heaven^H8064 worshippeth^H7812 thee. ⁷Thou art the LORD^H3068 the God^H0430, who didst choose^H0977 Abram^H0087, and broughtest him forth^H3318 out of Ur^H0218 of the Chaldees^H3778, and gavest^H7760 him the name^H8034 of Abraham^H0085; ⁸And foundest^H4672 his heart^H3824 faithful^H0539 before^H6440 thee, and madest^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with him to give^H5414 the land^H0776 of the Canaanites^H3669, the Hittites^H2850, the Amorites^H0567, and the Perizzites^H6522, and the Jebusites^H2983, and the Girgashites^H1622, to give^H5414 it, I say , to his seed^H2233, and hast performed^H6965 thy words^H1697; for thou art righteous^H6662: ⁹And didst see^H7200 the affliction^H6040 of our fathers^H0001 in Egypt^H4714, and heardest^H8085 their cry^H2201 by the Red^H5488 sea^H3220; ¹⁰And shewedst^H5414 signs^H0226 and wonders^H4159 upon Pharaoh^H6547, and on all his servants^H5650, and on all the people^H5971 of his land^H0776: for thou knewest^H3045 that they dealt proudly^H2102 against them. So didst thou get^H6213 thee a name^H8034, as it is this day^H3117. ¹¹And thou didst divide^H1234 the sea^H3220 before^H6440 them, so that they went through^H5674 the midst^H8432 of the sea^H3220 on the dry land^H3004; and their persecutors^H7291 thou threwest^H7993 into the deeps^H4688, as a stone^H0068 into the mighty^H5794 waters^H4325. ¹²Moreover thou leddest^H5148 them in the day^H3119 by a cloudy^H6051 pillar^H5982; and in the night^H3915 by a pillar^H5982 of fire^H0784, to give them light^H0215 in the way^H1870 wherein they should go^H3212. ¹³Thou camest down^H3381 also upon mount^H2022 Sinai^H5514, and spakest^H1696 with them from heaven^H8064, and gavest^H5414 them right^H3477 judgments^H4941, and true^H0571 laws^H8451, good^H2896 statutes^H2706 and commandments^H4687: ¹⁴And madest known^H3045 unto them thy holy^H6944 sabbath^H7676, and commandedst^H6680 them precepts^H4687, statutes^H2706, and laws^H8451, by the hand^H3027 of Moses^H4872 thy servant^H5650: ¹⁵And gavest^H5414 them bread^H3899 from heaven^H8064 for their hunger^H7458, and broughtest forth^H3318 water^H4325 for them out of the rock^H5553 for their thirst^H6772, and promisedst^H0559 them that they should go in^H0935 to possess^H3423 the land^H0776 which thou hadst sworn^H3027 to give^H5414 them. ¹⁶But they and our fathers^H0001 dealt proudly^H2102, and hardened^H7185 their necks^H6203, and hearkened^H8085 not to thy commandments^H4687, ¹⁷And refused^H3985 to obey^H8085, neither were mindful^H2142 of thy wonders^H6381 that thou didst^H6213 among them; but hardened^H7185 their necks^H6203, and in their rebellion^H4805 appointed^H5414 a captain^H7218 to return^H7725 to their bondage^H5659: but thou art a God^H0433 ready to pardon^H5547, gracious^H2587 and merciful^H7349, slow^H0750 to anger^H0639, and of great^H7227 kindness^H2617, and forsookest^H5800 them not. ¹⁸Yea, when they had made^H6213 them a molten^H4541 calf^H5695, and said^H0559, This is thy God^H0430 that brought thee up^H5927 out of Egypt^H4714, and had wrought^H6213 great^H1419 provocations^H5007; ¹⁹Yet thou in thy manifold^H7227 mercies^H7356 forsookest^H5800 them not in the wilderness^H4057: the pillar^H5982 of the cloud^H6051 departed^H5493 not from them by day^H3119, to lead^H5148 them in the way^H1870; neither the pillar^H5982 of fire^H0784 by night^H3915, to shew them light^H0215, and the way^H1870 wherein they should go^H3212. ²⁰Thou gavest^H5414 also thy good^H2896 spirit^H7307 to instruct^H7919 them, and withheldest^H4513 not thy manna^H4478 from their mouth^H6310, and gavest^H5414 them water^H4325 for their thirst^H6772. ²¹Yea, forty^H0705 years^H8141 didst thou sustain^H3557 them in the wilderness^H4057, so that they lacked^H2637 nothing; their clothes^H8008 waxed not old^H1086, and their feet^H7272 swelled^H1216 not. ²²Moreover thou gavest^H5414 them kingdoms^H4467 and nations^H5971, and didst divide^H2505 them into corners^H6285: so they possessed^H3423 the land^H0776 of Sihon^H5511, and the land^H0776 of the king^H4428 of Heshbon^H2809, and the land^H0776 of Og^H5747 king^H4428 of Bashan^H1316. ²³Their children^H1121 also multipliedst^H7235 thou as the stars^H3556 of heaven^H8064, and broughtest^H0935 them into the land^H0776, concerning which thou hadst promised^H0559 to their fathers^H0001, that they should go in^H0935 to possess^H3423 it . ²⁴So the children^H1121 went in^H0935 and possessed^H3423 the land^H0776, and thou subduedst^H3665 before^H6440 them the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H0776, the Canaanites^H3669, and gavest^H5414 them into their hands^H3027, with their kings^H4428, and the people^H5971 of the land^H0776, that they might do^H6213 with them as they would^H7522. ²⁵And they took^H3920 strong^H1219 cities^H5892, and a fat^H8082 land^H0127, and possessed^H3423 houses^H1004 full^H4392 of all goods^H2898, wells^H0953 digged^H2672, vineyards^H3754, and oliveyards^H2132, and fruit^H3978 trees^H6086 in abundance^H7230: so they did eat^H0398, and were filled^H7646, and became fat^H8080, and delighted^H5727 themselves in thy great^H1419 goodness^H2898. ²⁶Nevertheless they were disobedient^H4784, and rebelled^H4775 against thee, and cast^H7993 thy law^H8451 behind^H0310 their backs^H1458, and slew^H2026 thy prophets^H5030 which testified^H5749 against them to turn^H7725 them to thee, and they wrought^H6213 great^H1419 provocations^H5007. ²⁷Therefore thou deliveredst^H5414 them into the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H6862, who vexed^H6887 them: and in the time^H6256 of their trouble^H6869, when they cried^H6817 unto thee, thou heardest^H8085 them from heaven^H8064; and according to thy manifold^H7227 mercies^H7356 thou gavest^H5414 them saviours^H3467, who saved^H3467 them out of the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H6862. ²⁸But after they had rest^H5117, they did^H6213 evil^H7451 again^H7725 before^H6440 thee: therefore leftest^H5800 thou them in the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H0341, so that they had the dominion^H7287 over them: yet when they returned^H7725, and cried^H2199 unto thee, thou heardest^H8085 them from heaven^H8064; and many^H7227 times^H6256 didst thou deliver^H5337 them according to thy mercies^H7356; ²⁹And testifiedst^H5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them again^H7725 unto thy law^H8451: yet they dealt proudly^H2102, and hearkened^H8085 not unto thy commandments^H4687, but sinned^H2398 against thy judgments^H4941, (which if a man^H0120 do^H6213, he shall live^H2421 in them;) and withdrew^H5414 the shoulder^H3802, and hardened^H7185 their neck^H6203, and would not hear^H8085. ³⁰Yet many^H7227 years^H8141 didst thou forbear^H4900 them, and testifiedst^H5749 against them by thy spirit^H7307 in^H3027 thy prophets^H5030: yet would they not give ear^H0238: therefore gavest^H5414 thou them into the hand^H3027 of the people^H5971 of the lands^H0776. ³¹Nevertheless for thy great^H7227 mercies^H7356 sake thou didst^H6213 not utterly consume^H3617 them, nor forsake^H5800 them; for thou art a gracious^H2587 and merciful^H7349 God^H0410. ³²Now therefore, our God^H0430, the great^H1419, the mighty^H1368, and the terrible^H3372 God^H0410, who keepest^H8104 covenant^H1285 and mercy^H2617, let not all the trouble^H8513 seem little^H4591 before^H6440 thee, that hath come^H4672 upon us, on our kings^H4428, on our princes^H8269, and on our priests^H3548, and on our prophets^H5030, and on our fathers^H0001, and on all thy people^H5971, since the time^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Assyria^H0804 unto this day^H3117. ³³Howbeit thou art just^H6662 in all that is brought^H0935 upon us; for thou hast done^H6213 right^H0571, but we have done wickedly^H7561: ³⁴Neither have our kings^H4428, our princes^H8269, our priests^H3548, nor our fathers^H0001, kept^H6213 thy law^H8451, nor hearkened^H7181 unto thy commandments^H4687 and thy testimonies^H5715, wherewith thou didst testify^H5749 against them. ³⁵For they have not served^H5647 thee in their kingdom^H4438, and in thy great^H7227 goodness^H2898 that thou gavest^H5414 them, and in the large^H7342 and fat^H8082 land^H0776 which thou gavest^H5414 before^H6440 them, neither turned^H7725 they from their wicked^H7451 works^H4611. ³⁶Behold, we are servants^H5650 this day^H3117, and for the land^H0776 that thou gavest^H5414 unto our fathers^H0001 to eat^H0398 the fruit^H6529 thereof and the good^H2898 thereof, behold, we are servants^H5650 in it: ³⁷And it yieldeth much^H7235 increase^H8393 unto the kings^H4428 whom thou hast set^H5414 over us because of our sins^H2403: also they have dominion^H4910 over our bodies^H1472, and over our cattle^H0929, at their pleasure^H7522, and we are in great^H1419 distress^H6869. ³⁸And because of all this we make^H3772 a sure^H0548 covenant , and write^H3789 it; and our princes^H8269, Levites^H3881, and priests^H3548, seal^H2856 unto it .

³²Also we made^H5975 ordinances^H4687 for us, to charge^H5414 ourselves yearly^H8141 with the third part^H7992 of a shekel^H8255 for the service^H5656 of the house^H1004 of our God^H0430; ³³For the shewbread^H4635, and for the continual^H8548 meat offering^H4503, and for the continual^H8548 burnt offering^H5930, of the sabbaths^H7676, of the new moons^H2320, for the set feasts^H4150, and for the holy^H6944 things , and for the sin offerings^H2403 to make an atonement^H3722 for Israel^H3478, and for all the work^H4399 of the house^H1004 of our God^H0430. ³⁴And we cast^H5307 the lots^H1486 among the priests^H3548, the Levites^H3881, and the people^H5971, for the wood^H6086 offering^H7133, to bring^H0935 it into the house^H1004 of our God^H0430, after the houses^H1004 of our fathers^H0001, at times^H6256 appointed^H2163 year^H8141 by year^H8141, to burn^H1197 upon the altar^H4196 of the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430, as it is written^H3789 in the law^H8451: ³⁵And to bring^H0935 the firstfruits^H1061 of our ground^H0127, and the firstfruits^H1061 of all fruit^H6529 of all trees^H6086, year^H8141 by year^H8141, unto the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068: ³⁶Also the firstborn^H1060 of our sons^H1121, and of our cattle^H0929, as it is written^H3789 in the law^H8451, and the firstlings^H1062 of our herds^H1241 and of our flocks^H6629, to bring^H0935 to the house^H1004 of our God^H0430, unto the priests^H3548 that minister^H8334 in the house^H1004 of our God^H0430: ³⁷And that we should bring^H0935 the firstfruits^H7225 of our dough^H6182, and our offerings^H8641, and the fruit^H6529 of all manner of trees^H6086, of wine^H8492 and of oil^H3323, unto the priests^H3548, to the chambers^H3957 of the house^H1004 of our God^H0430; and the tithes^H4643 of our ground^H0127 unto the Levites^H3881, that the same Levites^H3881 might have the tithes^H6237 in all the cities^H5892 of our tillage^H5656. ³⁸And the priest^H3548 the son^H1121 of Aaron^H0175 shall be with the Levites^H3881, when the Levites^H3881 take tithes^H6237: and the Levites^H3881 shall bring up^H5927 the tithe^H4643 of the tithes^H4643 unto the house^H1004 of our God^H0430, to the chambers^H3957, into the treasure^H0214 house^H1004. ³⁹For the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 and the children^H1121 of Levi^H3878 shall bring^H0935 the offering^H8641 of the corn^H1715, of the new wine^H8492, and the oil^H3323, unto the chambers^H3957, where are the vessels^H3627 of the sanctuary^H4720, and the priests^H3548 that minister^H8334, and the porters^H7778, and the singers^H7891: and we will not forsake^H5800 the house^H1004 of our God^H0430.

Nehemiah: Chapter 11

Nehemiah: Chapter 13

¹On that day^H3117 they read^H7121 in the book^H5612 of Moses^H4872 in the audience^H0241 of the people^H5971; and therein was found^H4672 written^H3789, that the Ammonite^H5984 and the Moabite^H4125 should not come^H0935 into the congregation^H6951 of God^H0430 for^H5704 ever^H5769; ²Because they met^H6923 not the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 with bread^H3899 and with water^H4325, but hired^H7936 Balaam^H1109 against them, that he should curse^H7043 them: howbeit our God^H0430 turned^H2015 the curse^H7045 into a blessing^H1293. ³Now it came to pass, when they had heard^H8085 the law^H8451, that they separated^H0914 from Israel^H3478 all the mixed multitude^H6154.

⁴And before^H6440 this, Eliashib^H0475 the priest^H3548, having the oversight^H5414 of the chamber^H3957 of the house^H1004 of our God^H0430, was allied^H7138 unto Tobiah^H2900: ⁵And he had prepared^H6213 for him a great^H1419 chamber^H3957, where aforetime^H6440 they laid^H5414 the meat offerings^H4503, the frankincense^H3828, and the vessels^H3627, and the tithes^H4643 of the corn^H1715, the new wine^H8492, and the oil^H3323, which was commanded^H4687 to be given to the Levites^H3881, and the singers^H7891, and the porters^H7778; and the offerings^H8641 of the priests^H3548. ⁶But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem^H3389: for in the two^H8147 and thirtieth^H7970 year^H8141 of Artaxerxes^H0783 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 came^H0935 I unto the king^H4428, and after^H7093 certain days^H3117 obtained I leave^H7592 of the king^H4428: ⁷And I came^H0935 to Jerusalem^H3389, and understood^H0995 of the evil^H7451 that Eliashib^H0475 did^H6213 for Tobiah^H2900, in preparing^H6213 him a chamber^H5393 in the courts^H2691 of the house^H1004 of God^H0430. ⁸And it grieved^H3415 me sore^H3966: therefore I cast forth^H7993 all the household^H1004 stuff^H3627 of Tobiah^H2900 out of^H2351 the chamber^H3957. ⁹Then I commanded^H0559, and they cleansed^H2891 the chambers^H3957: and thither brought I again^H7725 the vessels^H3627 of the house^H1004 of God^H0430, with the meat offering^H4503 and the frankincense^H3828.

¹⁰And I perceived^H3045 that the portions^H4521 of the Levites^H3881 had not been given^H5414 them: for the Levites^H3881 and the singers^H7891, that did^H6213 the work^H4399, were fled^H1272 every one^H0376 to his field^H7704. ¹¹Then contended^H7378 I with the rulers^H5461, and said^H0559, Why is the house^H1004 of God^H0430 forsaken^H5800? And I gathered them together^H6908, and set^H5975 them in their place^H5977. ¹²Then brought^H0935 all Judah^H3063 the tithe^H4643 of the corn^H1715 and the new wine^H8492 and the oil^H3323 unto the treasuries^H0214. ¹³And I made treasurers^H0686 over the treasuries^H0214, Shelemiah^H8018 the priest^H3548, and Zadok^H6659 the scribe^H5608, and of the Levites^H3881, Pedaiah^H6305: and next to them^H3027 was Hanan^H2605 the son^H1121 of Zaccur^H2139, the son^H1121 of Mattaniah^H4983: for they were counted^H2803 faithful^H0539, and their office was to distribute^H2505 unto their brethren^H0251. ¹⁴Remember^H2142 me, O my God^H0430, concerning this, and wipe not out^H4229 my good^H2617 deeds that I have done^H6213 for the house^H1004 of my God^H0430, and for the offices^H4929 thereof.

¹⁵In those days^H3117 saw^H7200 I in Judah^H3063 some treading^H1869 wine presses^H1660 on the sabbath^H7676, and bringing in^H0935 sheaves^H6194, and lading^H6006 asses^H2543; as also wine^H3196, grapes^H6025, and figs^H8384, and all manner of burdens^H4853, which they brought^H0935 into Jerusalem^H3389 on the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117: and I testified^H5749 against them in the day^H3117 wherein they sold^H4376 victuals^H6718. ¹⁶There dwelt^H3427 men of Tyre^H6876 also therein, which brought^H0935 fish^H1709, and all manner of ware^H4377, and sold^H4376 on the sabbath^H7676 unto the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063, and in Jerusalem^H3389. ¹⁷Then I contended^H7378 with the nobles^H2715 of Judah^H3063, and said^H0559 unto them, What evil^H7451 thing^H1697 is this that ye do^H6213, and profane^H2490 the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117? ¹⁸Did^H6213 not your fathers^H0001 thus, and did^H0935 not our God^H0430 bring^H0935 all this evil^H7451 upon us, and upon this city^H5892? yet ye bring^H0935 more^H3254 wrath^H2740 upon Israel^H3478 by profaning^H2490 the sabbath^H7676. ¹⁹And it came to pass, that when the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389 began to be dark^H6751 before^H6440 the sabbath^H7676, I commanded^H0559 that the gates^H1817 should be shut^H5462, and charged^H0559 that they should not be opened^H6605 till after^H0310 the sabbath^H7676: and some of my servants^H5288 set^H5975 I at the gates^H8179, that there should no burden^H4853 be brought in^H0935 on the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117. ²⁰So the merchants^H7402 and sellers^H4376 of all kind of ware^H4465 lodged^H3885 without^H2351 Jerusalem^H3389 once^H6471 or twice^H8147. ²¹Then I testified^H5749 against them, and said^H0559 unto them, Why lodge^H3885 ye about^H5048 the wall^H2346? if ye do so again^H8138, I will lay^H7971 hands^H3027 on you. From that time^H6256 forth came^H0935 they no more on the sabbath^H7676. ²²And I commanded^H0559 the Levites^H3881 that they should cleanse^H2891 themselves, and that they should come^H0935 and keep^H8104 the gates^H8179, to sanctify^H6942 the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117. Remember^H2142 me, O my God^H0430, concerning this also, and spare^H2347 me according to the greatness^H7230 of thy mercy^H2617.

²³In those days^H3117 also saw^H7200 I Jews^H3064 that had married^H3427 wives^H0802 of Ashdod^H0796, of Ammon^H5984, and of Moab^H4125: ²⁴And their children^H1121 spake^H1696 half^H2677 in the speech of Ashdod^H0797, and could^H5234 not speak^H1696 in the Jewslanguage^H3066, but according to the language^H3956 of each^H5971 people^H5971. ²⁵And I contended^H7378 with them, and cursed^H7043 them, and smote^H5221 certain^H0582 of them, and plucked off their hair^H4803, and made them swear^H7650 by God^H0430, saying , Ye shall not give^H5414 your daughters^H1323 unto their sons^H1121, nor take^H5375 their daughters^H1323 unto your sons^H1121, or for yourselves. ²⁶Did not Solomon^H8010 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 sin^H2398 by these things? yet among many^H7227 nations^H1471 was there no king^H4428 like him, who was beloved^H0157 of his God^H0430, and God^H0430 made^H5414 him king^H4428 over all Israel^H3478: nevertheless even him^H1571 did outlandish^H5237 women^H0802 cause to sin^H2398. ²⁷Shall we then hearken^H8085 unto you to do^H6213 all this great^H1419 evil^H7451, to transgress^H4603 against our God^H0430 in marrying^H3427 strange^H5237 wives^H0802? ²⁸And one of the sons^H1121 of Joiada^H3111, the son^H1121 of Eliashib^H0475 the high^H1419 priest^H3548, was son in law^H2860 to Sanballat^H5571 the Horonite^H2772: therefore I chased^H1272 him from me. ²⁹Remember^H2142 them, O my God^H0430, because they have defiled^H1352 the priesthood^H3550, and the covenant^H1285 of the priesthood^H3550, and of the Levites^H3881. ³⁰Thus cleansed^H2891 I them from all strangers^H5236, and appointed^H5975 the wards^H4931 of the priests^H3548 and the Levites^H3881, every one^H0376 in his business^H4399; ³¹And for the wood^H6086 offering^H7133, at times^H6256 appointed^H2163, and for the firstfruits^H1061. Remember^H2142 me, O my God^H0430, for good^H2896.
