1 The words 01697 of Nehemiah 05166 the son 01121 of Hachaliah 02446. And it came to pass in the month 02320 Chisleu 03691, in the twentieth 06242 year 08141, as I was in Shushan 07800 the palace 01002,
2 That Hanani 02607, one 0259 of my brethren 0251, came 0935 08799, he and [certain] men 0582 of Judah 03063; and I asked 07592 08799 them concerning the Jews 03064 that had escaped 06413, which were left 07604 08738 of the captivity 07628, and concerning Jerusalem 03389.
3 And they said 0559 08799 unto me, The remnant 07604 08737 that are left 07604 08738 of the captivity 07628 there in the province 04082 [are] in great 01419 affliction 07451 and reproach 02781: the wall 02346 of Jerusalem 03389 also [is] broken down 06555 08794, and the gates 08179 thereof are burned 03341 08738 with fire 0784.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard 08085 08800 these words 01697, that I sat down 03427 08804 and wept 01058 08799, and mourned 056 08691 [certain] days 03117, and fasted 06684 08802, and prayed 06419 08693 before 06440 the God 0430 of heaven 08064,
5 And said 0559 08799, I beseech 0577 thee, O LORD 03068 God 0430 of heaven 08064, the great 01419 and terrible 03372 08737 God 0410, that keepeth 08104 08802 covenant 01285 and mercy 02617 for them that love 0157 08802 him and observe 08104 08802 his commandments 04687:
6 Let thine ear 0241 now be attentive 07183, and thine eyes 05869 open 06605 08803, that thou mayest hear 08085 08800 the prayer 08605 of thy servant 05650, which I pray 06419 08693 before 06440 thee now 03117, day 03119 and night 03915, for the children 01121 of Israel 03478 thy servants 05650, and confess 03034 08693 the sins 02403 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478, which we have sinned 02398 08804 against thee: both I and my father's 01 house 01004 have sinned 02398 08804.
7 We have dealt very 02254 08800 corruptly 02254 08804 against thee, and have not kept 08104 08804 the commandments 04687, nor the statutes 02706, nor the judgments 04941, which thou commandedst 06680 08765 thy servant 05650 Moses 04872.
8 Remember 02142 08798, I beseech thee, the word 01697 that thou commandedst 06680 08765 thy servant 05650 Moses 04872, saying 0559 08800, [If] ye transgress 04603 08799, I will scatter you abroad 06327 08686 among the nations 05971:
9 But [if] ye turn 07725 08804 unto me, and keep 08104 08804 my commandments 04687, and do 06213 08804 them; though there were of you cast out 05080 08737 unto the uttermost part 07097 of the heaven 08064, [yet] will I gather 06908 08762 them from thence, and will bring 0935 08689 them unto the place 04725 that I have chosen 0977 08804 to set 07931 08763 my name 08034 there.
10 Now these [are] thy servants 05650 and thy people 05971, whom thou hast redeemed 06299 08804 by thy great 01419 power 03581, and by thy strong 02389 hand 03027.
11 O Lord 0136, I beseech 0577 thee, let now thine ear 0241 be attentive 07183 to the prayer 08605 of thy servant 05650, and to the prayer 08605 of thy servants 05650, who desire 02655 to fear 03372 08800 thy name 08034: and prosper 06743 08685, I pray thee, thy servant 05650 this day 03117, and grant 05414 08798 him mercy 07356 in the sight 06440 of this man 0376. For I was the king's 04428 cupbearer 08248 08688.

1 And it came to pass in the month 02320 Nisan 05212, in the twentieth 06242 year 08141 of Artaxerxes 0783 the king 04428, [that] wine 03196 [was] before 06440 him: and I took up 05375 08799 the wine 03196, and gave 05414 08799 [it] unto the king 04428. Now I had not been [beforetime] sad 07451 in his presence 06440.
2 Wherefore the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto me, Why [is] thy countenance 06440 sad 07451, seeing thou [art] not sick 02470 08802? this [is] nothing [else] but sorrow 07455 of heart 03820. Then I was very 03966 sore 07235 08687 afraid 03372 08799,
3 And said 0559 08799 unto the king 04428, Let the king 04428 live 02421 08799 for ever 05769: why should not my countenance 06440 be sad 03415 08799, when the city 05892, the place 01004 of my fathers' 01 sepulchres 06913, [lieth] waste 02720, and the gates 08179 thereof are consumed 0398 08795 with fire 0784?
4 Then the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto me, For what dost thou make request 01245 08764? So I prayed 06419 08691 to the God 0430 of heaven 08064.
5 And I said 0559 08799 unto the king 04428, If it please 02895 08804 the king 04428, and if thy servant 05650 have found favour 03190 08799 in thy sight 06440, that thou wouldest send 07971 08799 me unto Judah 03063, unto the city 05892 of my fathers' 01 sepulchres 06913, that I may build 01129 08799 it.
6 And the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto me, (the queen 07694 also sitting 03427 08802 by him 0681,) For how long shall thy journey 04109 be? and when wilt thou return 07725 08799? So it pleased 03190 08799 06440 the king 04428 to send 07971 08799 me; and I set 05414 08799 him a time 02165.
7 Moreover I said 0559 08799 unto the king 04428, If it please 02895 08804 the king 04428, let letters 0107 be given 05414 08799 me to the governors 06346 beyond 05676 the river 05104, that they may convey me over 05674 08686 till I come 0935 08799 into Judah 03063;
8 And a letter 0107 unto Asaph 0623 the keeper 08104 08802 of the king's 04428 forest 06508, that he may give 05414 08799 me timber 06086 to make beams 07136 08763 for the gates 08179 of the palace 01002 which [appertained] to the house 01004, and for the wall 02346 of the city 05892, and for the house 01004 that I shall enter into 0935 08799. And the king 04428 granted 05414 08799 me, according to the good 02896 hand 03027 of my God 0430 upon me.
9 Then I came 0935 08799 to the governors 06346 beyond 05676 the river 05104, and gave 05414 08799 them the king's 04428 letters 0107. Now the king 04428 had sent 07971 08799 captains 08269 of the army 02428 and horsemen 06571 with me.
10 When Sanballat 05571 the Horonite 02772, and Tobiah 02900 the servant 05650, the Ammonite 05984, heard 08085 08799 [of it], it grieved 03415 08799 them exceedingly 07451 01419 that there was come 0935 08804 a man 0120 to seek 01245 08763 the welfare 02896 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478.
11 So I came 0935 08799 to Jerusalem 03389, and was there three 07969 days 03117.
12 And I arose 06965 08799 in the night 03915, I and some 04592 few 04592 men 0582 with me; neither told 05046 08689 I [any] man 0120 what my God 0430 had put 05414 08802 in my heart 03820 to do 06213 08800 at Jerusalem 03389: neither [was there any] beast 0929 with me, save the beast 0929 that I rode upon 07392 08802.
13 And I went out 03318 08799 by night 03915 by the gate 08179 of the valley 01516, even before 06440 the dragon 08577 well 05869 08677 05886, and to the dung 0830 port 08179, and viewed 07663 08802 08675 07665 08799 the walls 02346 of Jerusalem 03389, which were broken down 06555 08803, and the gates 08179 thereof were consumed 0398 08795 with fire 0784.
14 Then I went on 05674 08799 to the gate 08179 of the fountain 05869, and to the king's 04428 pool 01295: but [there was] no place 04725 for the beast 0929 [that was] under me to pass 05674 08800.
15 Then went I up 05927 08802 in the night 03915 by the brook 05158, and viewed 07663 08802 08675 07665 08799 the wall 02346, and turned back 07725 08799, and entered 0935 08799 by the gate 08179 of the valley 01516, and [so] returned 07725 08799.
16 And the rulers 05461 knew 03045 08804 not whither I went 01980 08804, or what I did 06213 08802; neither had I as yet 03651 told 05046 08689 [it] to the Jews 03064, nor to the priests 03548, nor to the nobles 02715, nor to the rulers 05461, nor to the rest 03499 that did 06213 08802 the work 04399.
17 Then said 0559 08799 I unto them, Ye see 07200 08802 the distress 07451 that we [are] in, how Jerusalem 03389 [lieth] waste 02720, and the gates 08179 thereof are burned 03341 08738 with fire 0784: come 03212 08798, and let us build up 01129 08799 the wall 02346 of Jerusalem 03389, that we be no more a reproach 02781.
18 Then I told 05046 08686 them of the hand 03027 of my God 0430 which was good 02896 upon me; as also the king's 04428 words 01697 that he had spoken 0559 08804 unto me. And they said 0559 08799, Let us rise up 06965 08799 and build 01129 08804. So they strengthened 02388 08762 their hands 03027 for [this] good 02896 [work].
19 But when Sanballat 05571 the Horonite 02772, and Tobiah 02900 the servant 05650, the Ammonite 05984, and Geshem 01654 the Arabian 06163, heard 08085 08799 [it], they laughed us to scorn 03932 08686, and despised 0959 08799 us, and said 0559 08799, What [is] this thing 01697 that ye do 06213 08802? will ye rebel 04775 08802 against the king 04428?
20 Then answered 07725 08686 01697 I them, and said 0559 08799 unto them, The God 0430 of heaven 08064, he will prosper 06743 08686 us; therefore we his servants 05650 will arise 06965 08799 and build 01129 08804: but ye have no portion 02506, nor right 06666, nor memorial 02146, in Jerusalem 03389.

27 After 0310 them the Tekoites 08621 repaired 02388 08689 another 08145 piece 04060, over against the great 01419 tower 04026 that lieth out 03318 08802, even unto the wall 02346 of Ophel 06077.
28 From above the horse 05483 gate 08179 repaired 02388 08689 the priests 03548, every one 0376 over against 05048 his house 01004.
29 After 0310 them repaired 02388 08689 Zadok 06659 the son 01121 of Immer 0564 over against his house 01004. After 0310 him repaired 02388 08689 also Shemaiah 08098 the son 01121 of Shechaniah 07935, the keeper 08104 08802 of the east 04217 gate 08179.
30 After 0310 him repaired 02388 08689 Hananiah 02608 the son 01121 of Shelemiah 08018, and Hanun 02586 the sixth 08345 son 01121 of Zalaph 06764, another 08145 piece 04060. After 0310 him repaired 02388 08689 Meshullam 04918 the son 01121 of Berechiah 01296 over against his chamber 05393.
31 After 0310 him repaired 02388 08689 Malchiah 04441 the goldsmith's 06885 son 01121 unto the place 01004 of the Nethinims 05411, and of the merchants 07402 08802, over against the gate 08179 Miphkad 04663, and to the going up 05944 of the corner 06438.
32 And between the going up 05944 of the corner 06438 unto the sheep 06629 gate 08179 repaired 02388 08689 the goldsmiths 06884 08802 and the merchants 07402 08802.

1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat 05571 heard 08085 08804 that we builded 01129 08802 the wall 02346, he was wroth 02734 08799, and took great 07235 08687 indignation 03707 08799, and mocked 03932 08686 the Jews 03064.
2 And he spake 0559 08799 before 06440 his brethren 0251 and the army 02428 of Samaria 08111, and said 0559 08799, What do 06213 08802 these feeble 0537 Jews 03064? will they fortify 05800 08799 themselves? will they sacrifice 02076 08799? will they make an end 03615 08762 in a day 03117? will they revive 02421 08762 the stones 068 out of the heaps 06194 of the rubbish 06083 which are burned 08313 08803?
3 Now Tobiah 02900 the Ammonite 05984 [was] by him 0681, and he said 0559 08799, Even that which they build 01129 08802, if a fox 07776 go up 05927 08799, he shall even break down 06555 08804 their stone 068 wall 02346.
4 Hear 08085 08798, O our God 0430; for we are despised 0939: and turn 07725 08685 their reproach 02781 upon their own head 07218, and give 05414 08798 them for a prey 0961 in the land 0776 of captivity 07633:
5 And cover 03680 08762 not their iniquity 05771, and let not their sin 02403 be blotted out 04229 08735 from before 06440 thee: for they have provoked [thee] to anger 03707 08689 before the builders 01129 08802.
6 So built 01129 08799 we the wall 02346; and all the wall 02346 was joined together 07194 08735 unto the half 02677 thereof: for the people 05971 had a mind 03820 to work 06213 08800.
7 But it came to pass, [that] when Sanballat 05571, and Tobiah 02900, and the Arabians 06163, and the Ammonites 05984, and the Ashdodites 0796, heard 08085 08804 that the walls 02346 of Jerusalem 03389 were made up 0724 05927 08804, [and] that the breaches 06555 08803 began 02490 08689 to be stopped 05640 08736, then they were very 03966 wroth 02734 08799,
8 And conspired 07194 08799 all of them together 03162 to come 0935 08800 [and] to fight 03898 08736 against Jerusalem 03389, and to hinder 06213 08800 08442 it.
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer 06419 08691 unto our God 0430, and set 05975 08686 a watch 04929 against them day 03119 and night 03915, because 06440 of them.
10 And Judah 03063 said 0559 08799, The strength 03581 of the bearers of burdens 05449 is decayed 03782 08804, and [there is] much 07235 08687 rubbish 06083; so that we are not able 03201 08799 to build 01129 08800 the wall 02346.
11 And our adversaries 06862 said 0559 08799, They shall not know 03045 08799, neither see 07200 08799, till we come 0935 08799 in the midst 08432 among 08432 them, and slay 02026 08804 them, and cause the work 04399 to cease 07673 08689.
12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews 03064 which dwelt 03427 08802 by them 0681 came 0935 08804, they said 0559 08799 unto us ten 06235 times 06471, From all places 04725 whence ye shall return 07725 08799 unto us [they will be upon you].
13 Therefore set 05975 08686 I in the lower 08482 places 04725 behind 0310 the wall 02346, [and] on the higher places 06706 08675 06708, I even set 05975 08686 the people 05971 after their families 04940 with their swords 02719, their spears 07420, and their bows 07198.
14 And I looked 07200 08799, and rose up 06965 08799, and said 0559 08799 unto the nobles 02715, and to the rulers 05461, and to the rest 03499 of the people 05971, Be not ye afraid 03372 08799 of them 06440: remember 02142 08798 the Lord 0136, [which is] great 01419 and terrible 03372 08737, and fight 03898 08734 for your brethren 0251, your sons 01121, and your daughters 01323, your wives 0802, and your houses 01004.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies 0341 08802 heard 08085 08804 that it was known 03045 08738 unto us, and God 0430 had brought 06565 00 their counsel 06098 to nought 06565 08686, that we returned 07725 08799 all of us to the wall 02346, every one 0376 unto his work 04399.
16 And it came to pass from that time 03117 forth, [that] the half 02677 of my servants 05288 wrought 06213 08802 in the work 04399, and the other half 02677 of them held 02388 08688 both the spears 07420, the shields 04043, and the bows 07198, and the habergeons 08302; and the rulers 08269 [were] behind 0310 all the house 01004 of Judah 03063.
17 They which builded 01129 08802 on the wall 02346, and they that bare 05375 08802 burdens 05447, with those that laded 06006 08802, [every one] with one 0259 of his hands 03027 wrought 06213 08802 in the work 04399, and with the other 0259 [hand] held 02388 08688 a weapon 07973.
18 For the builders 01129 08802, every one 0376 had his sword 02719 girded 0631 08803 by his side 04975, and [so] builded 01129 08802. And he that sounded 08628 08802 the trumpet 07782 [was] by me 0681.
19 And I said 0559 08799 unto the nobles 02715, and to the rulers 05461, and to the rest 03499 of the people 05971, The work 04399 [is] great 07235 08687 and large 07342, and we are separated 06504 08737 upon the wall 02346, one 0376 far from 07350 another 0251.
20 In what place 04725 [therefore] ye hear 08085 08799 the sound 06963 of the trumpet 07782, resort 06908 08735 ye thither unto us: our God 0430 shall fight 03898 08735 for us.
21 So we laboured 06213 08802 in the work 04399: and half 02677 of them held 02388 08688 the spears 07420 from the rising 05927 08800 of the morning 07837 till the stars 03556 appeared 03318 08800.
22 Likewise at the same time 06256 said 0559 08804 I unto the people 05971, Let every one 0376 with his servant 05288 lodge 03885 08799 within 08432 Jerusalem 03389, that in the night 03915 they may be a guard 04929 to us, and labour 04399 on the day 03117.
23 So neither I, nor my brethren 0251, nor my servants 05288, nor the men 0582 of the guard 04929 which followed 0310 me, none of us 0587 put off 06584 08802 our clothes 0899, [saving that] every one 0376 put them off 07973 for washing 04325.

1 And there was a great 01419 cry 06818 of the people 05971 and of their wives 0802 against their brethren 0251 the Jews 03064.
2 For there were 03426 that said 0559 08802, We, our sons 01121, and our daughters 01323, [are] many 07227: therefore we take up 03947 08799 corn 01715 [for them], that we may eat 0398 08799, and live 02421 08799.
3 [Some] also there were 03426 that said 0559 08802, We have mortgaged 06148 08802 our lands 07704, vineyards 03754, and houses 01004, that we might buy 03947 08799 corn 01715, because of the dearth 07458.
4 There were 03426 also that said 0559 08802, We have borrowed 03867 08804 money 03701 for the king's 04428 tribute 04060, [and that upon] our lands 07704 and vineyards 03754.
5 Yet now our flesh 01320 [is] as the flesh 01320 of our brethren 0251, our children 01121 as their children 01121: and, lo, we bring into bondage 03533 08802 our sons 01121 and our daughters 01323 to be servants 05650, and [some] of our daughters 01323 are 03426 brought unto bondage 03533 08737 [already]: neither [is it] in our power 0410 03027 [to redeem them]; for other men 0312 have our lands 07704 and vineyards 03754.
6 And I was very 03966 angry 02734 08799 when I heard 08085 08804 their cry 02201 and these words 01697.
7 Then I consulted 04427 08735 with myself 03820, and I rebuked 07378 08799 the nobles 02715, and the rulers 05461, and said 0559 08799 unto them, Ye exact 05378 08801 08678 05383 08802 08675 05375 08802 usury 04855, every one 0376 of his brother 0251. And I set 05414 08799 a great 01419 assembly 06952 against them.
8 And I said 0559 08799 unto them, We after our ability 01767 have redeemed 07069 08804 our brethren 0251 the Jews 03064, which were sold 04376 08737 unto the heathen 01471; and will ye even sell 04376 08799 your brethren 0251? or shall they be sold 04376 08738 unto us? Then held they their peace 02790 08686, and found 04672 08804 nothing 01697 [to answer].
9 Also I said 0559 08799, It [is] not good 02896 that 01697 ye do 06213 08802: ought ye not to walk 03212 08799 in the fear 03374 of our God 0430 because of the reproach 02781 of the heathen 01471 our enemies 0341 08802?
10 I likewise, [and] my brethren 0251, and my servants 05288, might exact 05383 08802 of them money 03701 and corn 01715: I pray you, let us leave off 05800 08799 this usury 04855.
11 Restore 07725 08685, I pray you, to them, even this day 03117, their lands 07704, their vineyards 03754, their oliveyards 02132, and their houses 01004, also the hundredth 03967 [part] of the money 03701, and of the corn 01715, the wine 08492, and the oil 03323, that ye exact 05383 08802 of them.
12 Then said 0559 08799 they, We will restore 07725 08686 [them], and will require 01245 08762 nothing of them; so will we do 06213 08799 as thou sayest 0559 08802. Then I called 07121 08799 the priests 03548, and took an oath 07650 08686 of them, that they should do 06213 08800 according to this promise 01697.
13 Also I shook 05287 08804 my lap 02684, and said 0559 08799, So God 0430 shake out 05287 08762 every man 0376 from his house 01004, and from his labour 03018, that performeth 06965 08686 not this promise 01697, even thus be he shaken out 05287 08803, and emptied 07386. And all the congregation 06951 said 0559 08799, Amen 0543, and praised 01984 08762 the LORD 03068. And the people 05971 did 06213 08799 according to this promise 01697.
14 Moreover from the time 03117 that I was appointed 06680 08765 to be their governor 06346 in the land 0776 of Judah 03063, from the twentieth 06242 year 08141 even unto the two 08147 and thirtieth 07970 year 08141 of Artaxerxes 0783 the king 04428, [that is], twelve 08147 06240 years 08141, I and my brethren 0251 have not eaten 0398 08804 the bread 03899 of the governor 06346.
15 But the former 07223 governors 06346 that [had been] before 06440 me were chargeable 03513 08689 unto the people 05971, and had taken 03947 08799 of them bread 03899 and wine 03196, beside 0310 forty 0705 shekels 08255 of silver 03701; yea, even 01571 their servants 05288 bare rule 07980 08804 over the people 05971: but so did 06213 08804 not I, because 06440 of the fear 03374 of God 0430.
16 Yea, also I continued 02388 08689 in the work 04399 of this wall 02346, neither bought 07069 08804 we any land 07704: and all my servants 05288 [were] gathered 06908 08803 thither unto the work 04399.
17 Moreover [there were] at my table 07979 an hundred 03967 and fifty 02572 0376 of the Jews 03064 and rulers 05461, beside those that came 0935 08802 unto us from among the heathen 01471 that [are] about us 05439.
18 Now [that] which was prepared 06213 08737 [for me] daily 03117 [was] one 0259 ox 07794 [and] six 08337 choice 01305 08803 sheep 06629; also fowls 06833 were prepared 06213 08738 for me, and once in ten 06235 days 03117 store 07235 08687 of all sorts of wine 03196: yet for all 05973 this required 01245 08765 not I the bread 03899 of the governor 06346, because the bondage 05656 was heavy 03513 08804 upon this people 05971.
19 Think 02142 08798 upon me, my God 0430, for good 02896, [according] to all that I have done 06213 08804 for this people 05971.

1 Now it came to pass, when Sanballat 05571, and Tobiah 02900, and Geshem 01654 the Arabian 06163, and the rest 03499 of our enemies 0341 08802, heard 08085 08738 that I had builded 01129 08804 the wall 02346, and [that] there was no breach 06556 left 03498 08738 therein; (though 01571 05704 at that time 06256 I had not set up 05975 08689 the doors 01817 upon the gates 08179;)
2 That Sanballat 05571 and Geshem 01654 sent 07971 08799 unto me, saying 0559 08800, Come 03212 08798, let us meet 03259 08735 together 03162 in [some one of] the villages 03715 in the plain 01237 of Ono 0207. But they thought 02803 08802 to do 06213 08800 me mischief 07451.
3 And I sent 07971 08799 messengers 04397 unto them, saying 0559 08800, I [am] doing 06213 08802 a great 01419 work 04399, so that I cannot 03201 08799 come down 03381 08800: why should the work 04399 cease 07673 08799, whilst 0834 I leave 07503 08686 it, and come down 03381 08804 to you?
4 Yet they sent 07971 08799 unto me four 0702 times 06471 after this sort 01697; and I answered 07725 08686 them after the same manner 01697.
5 Then sent 07971 08799 Sanballat 05571 his servant 05288 unto me in like manner 01697 the fifth 02549 time 06471 with an open 06605 08803 letter 0107 in his hand 03027;
6 Wherein [was] written 03789 08803, It is reported 08085 08738 among the heathen 01471, and Gashmu 01654 saith 0559 08802 [it, that] thou and the Jews 03064 think 02803 08802 to rebel 04775 08800: for which cause 03651 thou buildest 01129 08802 the wall 02346, that thou mayest be 01933 08802 their king 04428, according to these words 01697.
7 And thou hast also appointed 05975 08689 prophets 05030 to preach 07121 08800 of thee at Jerusalem 03389, saying 0559 08800, [There is] a king 04428 in Judah 03063: and now shall it be reported 08085 08735 to the king 04428 according to these words 01697. Come 03212 08798 now therefore, and let us take counsel 03289 08735 together 03162.
8 Then I sent 07971 08799 unto him, saying 0559 08800, There are 01961 00 no such things 01697 done 01961 08738 as thou sayest 0559 08802, but thou feignest 0908 08802 them out of thine own heart 03820.
9 For they all made us afraid 03372 08764, saying 0559 08800, Their hands 03027 shall be weakened 07503 08799 from the work 04399, that it be not done 06213 08735. Now therefore, [O God], strengthen 02388 08761 my hands 03027.
10 Afterward I came 0935 08804 unto the house 01004 of Shemaiah 08098 the son 01121 of Delaiah 01806 the son 01121 of Mehetabeel 04105, who [was] shut up 06113 08803; and he said 0559 08799, Let us meet together 03259 08735 in the house 01004 of God 0430, within 08432 the temple 01964, and let us shut 05462 08799 the doors 01817 of the temple 01964: for they will come 0935 08802 to slay 02026 08800 thee; yea, in the night 03915 will they come 0935 08802 to slay 02026 08800 thee.
11 And I said 0559 08799, Should such 03644 a man 0376 as I flee 01272 08799? and who [is there], that, [being] as I [am], would go 0935 08799 into the temple 01964 to save his life 02425 08804? I will not go in 0935 08799.
12 And, lo, I perceived 05234 08686 that God 0430 had not sent 07971 08804 him; but that he pronounced 01696 08765 this prophecy 05016 against me: for Tobiah 02900 and Sanballat 05571 had hired 07936 08804 him.
13 Therefore [was] he hired 07936 08803, that I should be afraid 03372 08799, and do so 06213 08799, and sin 02398 08804, and [that] they might have [matter] for an evil 07451 report 08034, that they might reproach 02778 08762 me.
14 My God 0430, think 02142 08798 thou upon Tobiah 02900 and Sanballat 05571 according to these their works 04639, and on the prophetess 05031 Noadiah 05129, and the rest 03499 of the prophets 05030, that would have put me in fear 03372 08764.
15 So the wall 02346 was finished 07999 08799 in the twenty 06242 and fifth 02568 [day] of [the month] Elul 0435, in fifty 02572 and two 08147 days 03117.
16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies 0341 08802 heard 08085 08804 [thereof], and all the heathen 01471 that [were] about us 05439 saw 07200 08799 [these things], they were much 03966 cast down 05307 08799 in their own eyes 05869: for they perceived 03045 08799 that this work 04399 was wrought 06213 08738 of our God 0430.
17 Moreover in those days 03117 the nobles 02715 of Judah 03063 sent 01980 08802 many 07235 08688 letters 0107 unto Tobiah 02900, and [the letters] of Tobiah 02900 came 0935 08802 unto them.
18 For [there were] many 07227 in Judah 03063 sworn 01167 07621 unto him, because he [was] the son in law 02860 of Shechaniah 07935 the son 01121 of Arah 0733; and his son 01121 Johanan 03076 had taken 03947 08804 the daughter 01323 of Meshullam 04918 the son 01121 of Berechiah 01296.
19 Also they reported 0559 08802 his good deeds 02896 before 06440 me, and uttered 03318 08688 my words 01697 to him. [And] Tobiah 02900 sent 07971 08804 letters 0107 to put me in fear 03372 08763.

1 Now it came to pass, when the wall 02346 was built 01129 08738, and I had set up 05975 08686 the doors 01817, and the porters 07778 and the singers 07891 08789 and the Levites 03881 were appointed 06485 08735,
2 That I gave my brother 0251 Hanani 02607, and Hananiah 02608 the ruler 08269 of the palace 01002, charge 06680 08762 over Jerusalem 03389: for he [was] a faithful 0571 man 0376, and feared 03372 08804 God 0430 above many 07227.
3 And I said 0559 08799 unto them, Let not the gates 08179 of Jerusalem 03389 be opened 06605 08735 until the sun 08121 be hot 02527; and while they stand by 05975 08802, let them shut 01479 08686 the doors 01817, and bar 0270 08798 [them]: and appoint 05975 08687 watches 04931 of the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389, every one 0376 in his watch 04929, and every one 0376 [to be] over against his house 01004.
4 Now the city 05892 [was] large 07342 03027 and great 01419: but the people 05971 [were] few 04592 therein 08432, and the houses 01004 [were] not builded 01129 08803.
5 And my God 0430 put 05414 08799 into mine heart 03820 to gather together 06908 08799 the nobles 02715, and the rulers 05461, and the people 05971, that they might be reckoned by genealogy 03187 08692. And I found 04672 08799 a register 05612 of the genealogy 03188 of them which came up 05927 08802 at the first 07223, and found 04672 08799 written 03789 08803 therein,
6 These [are] the children 01121 of the province 04082, that went up 05927 08802 out of the captivity 07628, of those that had been carried away 01473, whom Nebuchadnezzar 05019 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 had carried away 01540 08689, and came again 07725 08799 to Jerusalem 03389 and to Judah 03063, every one 0376 unto his city 05892;

65 And the Tirshatha 08660 said 0559 08799 unto them, that they should not eat 0398 08799 of the most 06944 holy things 06944, till there stood 05975 08800 [up] a priest 03548 with Urim 0224 and Thummim 08550.

1 And all the people 05971 gathered themselves together 0622 08735 as one 0259 man 0376 into the street 07339 that [was] before 06440 the water 04325 gate 08179; and they spake 0559 08799 unto Ezra 05830 the scribe 05608 08802 to bring 0935 08687 the book 05612 of the law 08451 of Moses 04872, which the LORD 03068 had commanded 06680 08765 to Israel 03478.
2 And Ezra 05830 the priest 03548 brought 0935 08686 the law 08451 before 06440 the congregation 06951 both of men 0376 and women 0802, and all that could hear 08085 08800 with understanding 0995 08688, upon the first 0259 day 03117 of the seventh 07637 month 02320.
3 And he read 07121 08799 therein before 06440 the street 07339 that [was] before 06440 the water 04325 gate 08179 from the morning 0216 until midday 04276 03117, before the men 0582 and the women 0802, and those that could understand 0995 08688; and the ears 0241 of all the people 05971 [were attentive] unto the book 05612 of the law 08451.
4 And Ezra 05830 the scribe 05608 08802 stood 05975 08799 upon a pulpit 04026 of wood 06086, which they had made 06213 08804 for the purpose 01697; and beside 0681 him stood 05975 08799 Mattithiah 04993, and Shema 08087, and Anaiah 06043, and Urijah 0223, and Hilkiah 02518, and Maaseiah 04641, on his right hand 03225; and on his left hand 08040, Pedaiah 06305, and Mishael 04332, and Malchiah 04441, and Hashum 02828, and Hashbadana 02806, Zechariah 02148, [and] Meshullam 04918.
5 And Ezra 05830 opened 06605 08799 the book 05612 in the sight 05869 of all the people 05971; (for he was above all the people 05971;) and when he opened 06605 08800 it, all the people 05971 stood up 05975 08804:
6 And Ezra 05830 blessed 01288 08762 the LORD 03068, the great 01419 God 0430. And all the people 05971 answered 06030 08799, Amen 0543, Amen 0543, with lifting up 04607 their hands 03027: and they bowed 06915 08799 their heads, and worshipped 07812 08691 the LORD 03068 with [their] faces 0639 to the ground 0776.
7 Also Jeshua 03442, and Bani 01137, and Sherebiah 08274, Jamin 03226, Akkub 06126, Shabbethai 07678, Hodijah 01941, Maaseiah 04641, Kelita 07042, Azariah 05838, Jozabad 03107, Hanan 02605, Pelaiah 06411, and the Levites 03881, caused the people 05971 to understand 0995 08688 the law 08451: and the people 05971 [stood] in their place 05977.
8 So they read 07121 08799 in the book 05612 in the law 08451 of God 0430 distinctly 06567 08794, and gave 07760 08800 the sense 07922, and caused [them] to understand 0995 08799 the reading 04744.
9 And Nehemiah 05166, which [is] the Tirshatha 08660, and Ezra 05830 the priest 03548 the scribe 05608 08802, and the Levites 03881 that taught 0995 08688 the people 05971, said 0559 08799 unto all the people 05971, This day 03117 [is] holy 06918 unto the LORD 03068 your God 0430; mourn 056 08691 not, nor weep 01058 08799. For all the people 05971 wept 01058 08802, when they heard 08085 08800 the words 01697 of the law 08451.
10 Then he said 0559 08799 unto them, Go your way 03212 08798, eat 0398 08798 the fat 04924, and drink 08354 08798 the sweet 04477, and send 07971 08798 portions 04490 unto them for whom nothing is prepared 03559 08737: for [this] day 03117 [is] holy 06918 unto our Lord 0113: neither be ye sorry 06087 08735; for the joy 02304 of the LORD 03068 is your strength 04581.
11 So the Levites 03881 stilled 02814 08688 all the people 05971, saying 0559 08800, Hold your peace 02013 08761, for the day 03117 [is] holy 06918; neither be ye grieved 06087 08735.
12 And all the people 05971 went their way 03212 08799 to eat 0398 08800, and to drink 08354 08800, and to send 07971 08763 portions 04490, and to make 06213 08800 great 01419 mirth 08057, because they had understood 0995 08689 the words 01697 that were declared 03045 08689 unto them.
13 And on the second 08145 day 03117 were gathered together 0622 08738 the chief 07218 of the fathers 01 of all the people 05971, the priests 03548, and the Levites 03881, unto Ezra 05830 the scribe 05608 08802, even to understand 07919 08687 the words 01697 of the law 08451.
14 And they found 04672 08799 written 03789 08803 in the law 08451 which the LORD 03068 had commanded 06680 08765 by 03027 Moses 04872, that the children 01121 of Israel 03478 should dwell 03427 08799 in booths 05521 in the feast 02282 of the seventh 07637 month 02320:
15 And that they should publish 08085 08686 and proclaim 05674 08686 06963 in all their cities 05892, and in Jerusalem 03389, saying 0559 08800, Go forth 03318 08798 unto the mount 02022, and fetch 0935 08685 olive 02132 branches 05929, and pine 08081 branches 06086 05929, and myrtle 01918 branches 05929, and palm 08558 branches 05929, and branches 05929 of thick 05687 trees 06086, to make 06213 08800 booths 05521, as [it is] written 03789 08803.
16 So the people 05971 went forth 03318 08799, and brought 0935 08686 [them], and made 06213 08799 themselves booths 05521, every one 0376 upon the roof of his house 01406, and in their courts 02691, and in the courts 02691 of the house 01004 of God 0430, and in the street 07339 of the water 04325 gate 08179, and in the street 07339 of the gate 08179 of Ephraim 0669.
17 And all the congregation 06951 of them that were come again 07725 08802 out of the captivity 07628 made 06213 08799 booths 05521, and sat 03427 08799 under the booths 05521: for since the days 03117 of Jeshua 03442 the son 01121 of Nun 05126 unto that day 03117 had not the children 01121 of Israel 03478 done so 06213 08804. And there was very 03966 great 01419 gladness 08057.
18 Also day 03117 by day 03117, from the first 07223 day 03117 unto the last 0314 day 03117, he read 07121 08799 in the book 05612 of the law 08451 of God 0430. And they kept 06213 08799 the feast 02282 seven 07651 days 03117; and on the eighth 08066 day 03117 [was] a solemn assembly 06116, according unto the manner 04941.

1 Now in the twenty 06242 and fourth 0702 day 03117 of this month 02320 the children 01121 of Israel 03478 were assembled 0622 08738 with fasting 06685, and with sackclothes 08242, and earth 0127 upon them.
2 And the seed 02233 of Israel 03478 separated 0914 08735 themselves from all strangers 01121 05236, and stood 05975 08799 and confessed 03034 08691 their sins 02403, and the iniquities 05771 of their fathers 01.
3 And they stood up 06965 08799 in their place 05977, and read 07121 08799 in the book 05612 of the law 08451 of the LORD 03068 their God 0430 [one] fourth part 07243 of the day 03117; and [another] fourth part 07243 they confessed 03034 08693, and worshipped 07812 08693 the LORD 03068 their God 0430.
4 Then stood up 06965 08799 upon the stairs 04608, of the Levites 03881, Jeshua 03442, and Bani 01137, Kadmiel 06934, Shebaniah 07645, Bunni 01138, Sherebiah 08274, Bani 01137, [and] Chenani 03662, and cried 02199 08799 with a loud 01419 voice 06963 unto the LORD 03068 their God 0430.
5 Then the Levites 03881, Jeshua 03442, and Kadmiel 06934, Bani 01137, Hashabniah 02813, Sherebiah 08274, Hodijah 01941, Shebaniah 07645, [and] Pethahiah 06611, said 0559 08799, Stand up 06965 08798 [and] bless 01288 08761 the LORD 03068 your God 0430 for ever 05769 and ever 05769: and blessed 01288 08762 be thy glorious 03519 name 08034, which is exalted 07311 08784 above all blessing 01293 and praise 08416.
6 Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD 03068 alone; thou hast made 06213 08804 heaven 08064, the heaven 08064 of heavens 08064, with all their host 06635, the earth 0776, and all [things] that [are] therein, the seas 03220, and all that [is] therein, and thou preservest 02421 08764 them all; and the host 06635 of heaven 08064 worshippeth 07812 08693 thee.
7 Thou [art] the LORD 03068 the God 0430, who didst choose 0977 08804 Abram 087, and broughtest him forth 03318 08689 out of Ur 0218 of the Chaldees 03778, and gavest 07760 08804 him the name 08034 of Abraham 085;
8 And foundest 04672 08804 his heart 03824 faithful 0539 08737 before 06440 thee, and madest 03772 08800 a covenant 01285 with him to give 05414 08800 the land 0776 of the Canaanites 03669, the Hittites 02850, the Amorites 0567, and the Perizzites 06522, and the Jebusites 02983, and the Girgashites 01622, to give 05414 08800 [it, I say], to his seed 02233, and hast performed 06965 08686 thy words 01697; for thou [art] righteous 06662:
9 And didst see 07200 08799 the affliction 06040 of our fathers 01 in Egypt 04714, and heardest 08085 08804 their cry 02201 by the Red 05488 sea 03220;
10 And shewedst 05414 08799 signs 0226 and wonders 04159 upon Pharaoh 06547, and on all his servants 05650, and on all the people 05971 of his land 0776: for thou knewest 03045 08804 that they dealt proudly 02102 08689 against them. So didst thou get 06213 08799 thee a name 08034, as [it is] this day 03117.
11 And thou didst divide 01234 08804 the sea 03220 before 06440 them, so that they went through 05674 08799 the midst 08432 of the sea 03220 on the dry land 03004; and their persecutors 07291 08802 thou threwest 07993 08689 into the deeps 04688, as a stone 068 into the mighty 05794 waters 04325.
12 Moreover thou leddest 05148 08689 them in the day 03119 by a cloudy 06051 pillar 05982; and in the night 03915 by a pillar 05982 of fire 0784, to give them light 0215 08687 in the way 01870 wherein they should go 03212 08799.
13 Thou camest down 03381 08804 also upon mount 02022 Sinai 05514, and spakest 01696 08763 with them from heaven 08064, and gavest 05414 08799 them right 03477 judgments 04941, and true 0571 laws 08451, good 02896 statutes 02706 and commandments 04687:
14 And madest known 03045 08689 unto them thy holy 06944 sabbath 07676, and commandedst 06680 08765 them precepts 04687, statutes 02706, and laws 08451, by the hand 03027 of Moses 04872 thy servant 05650:
15 And gavest 05414 08804 them bread 03899 from heaven 08064 for their hunger 07458, and broughtest forth 03318 08689 water 04325 for them out of the rock 05553 for their thirst 06772, and promisedst 0559 08799 them that they should go in 0935 08800 to possess 03423 08800 the land 0776 which thou hadst sworn 03027 05375 08804 to give 05414 08800 them.
16 But they and our fathers 01 dealt proudly 02102 08689, and hardened 07185 08686 their necks 06203, and hearkened 08085 08804 not to thy commandments 04687,
17 And refused 03985 08762 to obey 08085 08800, neither were mindful 02142 08804 of thy wonders 06381 08737 that thou didst 06213 08804 among them; but hardened 07185 08686 their necks 06203, and in their rebellion 04805 appointed 05414 08799 a captain 07218 to return 07725 08800 to their bondage 05659: but thou [art] a God 0433 ready to pardon 05547, gracious 02587 and merciful 07349, slow 0750 to anger 0639, and of great 07227 kindness 02617, and forsookest 05800 08804 them not.
18 Yea, when they had made 06213 08804 them a molten 04541 calf 05695, and said 0559 08799, This [is] thy God 0430 that brought thee up 05927 08689 out of Egypt 04714, and had wrought 06213 08799 great 01419 provocations 05007;
19 Yet thou in thy manifold 07227 mercies 07356 forsookest 05800 08804 them not in the wilderness 04057: the pillar 05982 of the cloud 06051 departed 05493 08804 not from them by day 03119, to lead 05148 08687 them in the way 01870; neither the pillar 05982 of fire 0784 by night 03915, to shew them light 0215 08687, and the way 01870 wherein they should go 03212 08799.
20 Thou gavest 05414 08804 also thy good 02896 spirit 07307 to instruct 07919 08687 them, and withheldest 04513 08804 not thy manna 04478 from their mouth 06310, and gavest 05414 08804 them water 04325 for their thirst 06772.
21 Yea, forty 0705 years 08141 didst thou sustain 03557 08773 them in the wilderness 04057, [so that] they lacked 02637 08804 nothing; their clothes 08008 waxed not old 01086 08804, and their feet 07272 swelled 01216 08804 not.
22 Moreover thou gavest 05414 08799 them kingdoms 04467 and nations 05971, and didst divide 02505 08799 them into corners 06285: so they possessed 03423 08799 the land 0776 of Sihon 05511, and the land 0776 of the king 04428 of Heshbon 02809, and the land 0776 of Og 05747 king 04428 of Bashan 01316.
23 Their children 01121 also multipliedst 07235 08689 thou as the stars 03556 of heaven 08064, and broughtest 0935 08686 them into the land 0776, concerning which thou hadst promised 0559 08804 to their fathers 01, that they should go in 0935 08800 to possess 03423 08800 [it].
24 So the children 01121 went in 0935 08799 and possessed 03423 08799 the land 0776, and thou subduedst 03665 08686 before 06440 them the inhabitants 03427 08802 of the land 0776, the Canaanites 03669, and gavest 05414 08799 them into their hands 03027, with their kings 04428, and the people 05971 of the land 0776, that they might do 06213 08800 with them as they would 07522.
25 And they took 03920 08799 strong 01219 08803 cities 05892, and a fat 08082 land 0127, and possessed 03423 08799 houses 01004 full 04392 of all goods 02898, wells 0953 digged 02672 08803, vineyards 03754, and oliveyards 02132, and fruit 03978 trees 06086 in abundance 07230: so they did eat 0398 08799, and were filled 07646 08799, and became fat 08080 08686, and delighted 05727 08691 themselves in thy great 01419 goodness 02898.
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient 04784 08686, and rebelled 04775 08799 against thee, and cast 07993 08686 thy law 08451 behind 0310 their backs 01458, and slew 02026 08804 thy prophets 05030 which testified 05749 08689 against them to turn 07725 08687 them to thee, and they wrought 06213 08799 great 01419 provocations 05007.
27 Therefore thou deliveredst 05414 08799 them into the hand 03027 of their enemies 06862, who vexed 06887 08686 them: and in the time 06256 of their trouble 06869, when they cried 06817 08799 unto thee, thou heardest 08085 08799 [them] from heaven 08064; and according to thy manifold 07227 mercies 07356 thou gavest 05414 08799 them saviours 03467 08688, who saved 03467 08686 them out of the hand 03027 of their enemies 06862.
28 But after they had rest 05117 08800, they did 06213 08800 evil 07451 again 07725 08799 before 06440 thee: therefore leftest 05800 08799 thou them in the hand 03027 of their enemies 0341 08802, so that they had the dominion 07287 08799 over them: yet when they returned 07725 08799, and cried 02199 08799 unto thee, thou heardest 08085 08799 [them] from heaven 08064; and many 07227 times 06256 didst thou deliver 05337 08686 them according to thy mercies 07356;
29 And testifiedst 05749 08686 against them, that thou mightest bring them again 07725 08687 unto thy law 08451: yet they dealt proudly 02102 08689, and hearkened 08085 08804 not unto thy commandments 04687, but sinned 02398 08804 against thy judgments 04941, (which if a man 0120 do 06213 08799, he shall live 02421 08804 in them;) and withdrew 05414 08799 05637 08802 the shoulder 03802, and hardened 07185 08689 their neck 06203, and would not hear 08085 08804.
30 Yet many 07227 years 08141 didst thou forbear 04900 08799 them, and testifiedst 05749 08686 against them by thy spirit 07307 in 03027 thy prophets 05030: yet would they not give ear 0238 08689: therefore gavest 05414 08799 thou them into the hand 03027 of the people 05971 of the lands 0776.
31 Nevertheless for thy great 07227 mercies' 07356 sake thou didst 06213 08804 not utterly consume 03617 them, nor forsake 05800 08804 them; for thou [art] a gracious 02587 and merciful 07349 God 0410.
32 Now therefore, our God 0430, the great 01419, the mighty 01368, and the terrible 03372 08737 God 0410, who keepest 08104 08802 covenant 01285 and mercy 02617, let not all the trouble 08513 seem little 04591 08799 before 06440 thee, that hath come 04672 08804 upon us, on our kings 04428, on our princes 08269, and on our priests 03548, and on our prophets 05030, and on our fathers 01, and on all thy people 05971, since the time 03117 of the kings 04428 of Assyria 0804 unto this day 03117.
33 Howbeit thou [art] just 06662 in all that is brought 0935 08802 upon us; for thou hast done 06213 08804 right 0571, but we have done wickedly 07561 08689:
34 Neither have our kings 04428, our princes 08269, our priests 03548, nor our fathers 01, kept 06213 08804 thy law 08451, nor hearkened 07181 08689 unto thy commandments 04687 and thy testimonies 05715, wherewith thou didst testify 05749 08689 against them.
35 For they have not served 05647 08804 thee in their kingdom 04438, and in thy great 07227 goodness 02898 that thou gavest 05414 08804 them, and in the large 07342 and fat 08082 land 0776 which thou gavest 05414 08804 before 06440 them, neither turned 07725 08804 they from their wicked 07451 works 04611.
36 Behold, we [are] servants 05650 this day 03117, and [for] the land 0776 that thou gavest 05414 08804 unto our fathers 01 to eat 0398 08800 the fruit 06529 thereof and the good 02898 thereof, behold, we [are] servants 05650 in it:
37 And it yieldeth much 07235 08688 increase 08393 unto the kings 04428 whom thou hast set 05414 08804 over us because of our sins 02403: also they have dominion 04910 08802 over our bodies 01472, and over our cattle 0929, at their pleasure 07522, and we [are] in great 01419 distress 06869.

24 And the chief 07218 of the Levites 03881: Hashabiah 02811, Sherebiah 08274, and Jeshua 03442 the son 01121 of Kadmiel 06934, with their brethren 0251 over against them, to praise 01984 08763 [and] to give thanks 03034 08687, according to the commandment 04687 of David 01732 the man 0376 of God 0430, ward 04929 over against 05980 ward 04929.
25 Mattaniah 04983, and Bakbukiah 01229, Obadiah 05662, Meshullam 04918, Talmon 02929, Akkub 06126, [were] porters 07778 keeping 08104 08802 the ward 04929 at the thresholds 0624 of the gates 08179.
26 These [were] in the days 03117 of Joiakim 03113 the son 01121 of Jeshua 03442, the son 01121 of Jozadak 03136, and in the days 03117 of Nehemiah 05166 the governor 06346, and of Ezra 05830 the priest 03548, the scribe 05608 08802.
27 And at the dedication 02598 of the wall 02346 of Jerusalem 03389 they sought 01245 08765 the Levites 03881 out of all their places 04725, to bring 0935 08687 them to Jerusalem 03389, to keep 06213 08800 the dedication 02598 with gladness 08057, both with thanksgivings 08426, and with singing 07892, [with] cymbals 04700, psalteries 05035, and with harps 03658.
28 And the sons 01121 of the singers 07891 08789 gathered themselves together 0622 08735, both out of the plain country 03603 round about 05439 Jerusalem 03389, and from the villages 02691 of Netophathi 05200;
29 Also from the house 01004 of Gilgal 01537 08677 01019, and out of the fields 07704 of Geba 01387 and Azmaveth 05820: for the singers 07891 08789 had builded 01129 08804 them villages 02691 round about 05439 Jerusalem 03389.
30 And the priests 03548 and the Levites 03881 purified 02891 08691 themselves, and purified 02891 08762 the people 05971, and the gates 08179, and the wall 02346.
31 Then I brought up 05927 08686 the princes 08269 of Judah 03063 upon the wall 02346, and appointed 05975 08686 two 08147 great 01419 [companies of them that gave] thanks 08426, [whereof one] went 08418 on the right hand 03225 upon the wall 02346 toward the dung 0830 gate 08179:
32 And after 0310 them went 03212 08799 Hoshaiah 01955, and half 02677 of the princes 08269 of Judah 03063,
33 And Azariah 05838, Ezra 05830, and Meshullam 04918,
34 Judah 03063, and Benjamin 01144, and Shemaiah 08098, and Jeremiah 03414,
35 And [certain] of the priests' 03548 sons 01121 with trumpets 02689; [namely], Zechariah 02148 the son 01121 of Jonathan 03129, the son 01121 of Shemaiah 08098, the son 01121 of Mattaniah 04983, the son 01121 of Michaiah 04320, the son 01121 of Zaccur 02139, the son 01121 of Asaph 0623:
36 And his brethren 0251, Shemaiah 08098, and Azarael 05832, Milalai 04450, Gilalai 01562, Maai 04597, Nethaneel 05417, and Judah 03063, Hanani 02607, with the musical 07892 instruments 03627 of David 01732 the man 0376 of God 0430, and Ezra 05830 the scribe 05608 08802 before 06440 them.
37 And at the fountain 05869 gate 08179, which was over against them, they went up 05927 08804 by the stairs 04609 of the city 05892 of David 01732, at the going up 04608 of the wall 02346, above the house 01004 of David 01732, even unto the water 04325 gate 08179 eastward 04217.
38 And the other 08145 [company of them that gave] thanks 08426 went 01980 08802 over against 04136 [them], and I after 0310 them, and the half 02677 of the people 05971 upon the wall 02346, from beyond the tower 04026 of the furnaces 08574 even unto the broad 07342 wall 02346;
39 And from above the gate 08179 of Ephraim 0669, and above the old 03465 gate 08179, and above the fish 01709 gate 08179, and the tower 04026 of Hananeel 02606, and the tower 04026 of Meah 03968, even unto the sheep 06629 gate 08179: and they stood still 05975 08804 in the prison 04307 gate 08179.
40 So stood 05975 08799 the two 08147 [companies of them that gave] thanks 08426 in the house 01004 of God 0430, and I, and the half 02677 of the rulers 05461 with me:
41 And the priests 03548; Eliakim 0471, Maaseiah 04641, Miniamin 04509, Michaiah 04320, Elioenai 0454, Zechariah 02148, [and] Hananiah 02608, with trumpets 02689;
42 And Maaseiah 04641, and Shemaiah 08098, and Eleazar 0499, and Uzzi 05813, and Jehohanan 03076, and Malchijah 04441, and Elam 05867, and Ezer 05829. And the singers 07891 08789 sang loud 08085 08686, with Jezrahiah 03156 [their] overseer 06496.
43 Also that day 03117 they offered 02076 08799 great 01419 sacrifices 02077, and rejoiced 08055 08799: for God 0430 had made them rejoice 08055 08765 with great 01419 joy 08057: the wives 0802 also and the children 03206 rejoiced 08055 08804: so that the joy 08057 of Jerusalem 03389 was heard 08085 08735 even afar off 07350.
44 And at that time 03117 were some 0582 appointed 06485 08735 over the chambers 05393 for the treasures 0214, for the offerings 08641, for the firstfruits 07225, and for the tithes 04643, to gather 03664 08800 into them out of the fields 07704 of the cities 05892 the portions 04521 of the law 08451 for the priests 03548 and Levites 03881: for Judah 03063 rejoiced 08057 for the priests 03548 and for the Levites 03881 that waited 05975 08802.
45 And both the singers 07891 08789 and the porters 07778 kept 08104 08799 the ward 04931 of their God 0430, and the ward 04931 of the purification 02893, according to the commandment 04687 of David 01732, [and] of Solomon 08010 his son 01121.
46 For in the days 03117 of David 01732 and Asaph 0623 of old 06924 [there were] chief 07218 of the singers 07891 08789, and songs 07892 of praise 08416 and thanksgiving 03034 08687 unto God 0430.
47 And all Israel 03478 in the days 03117 of Zerubbabel 02216, and in the days 03117 of Nehemiah 05166, gave 05414 08802 the portions 04521 of the singers 07891 08789 and the porters 07778, every day 03117 his portion 01697: and they sanctified 06942 08688 [holy things] unto the Levites 03881; and the Levites 03881 sanctified 06942 08688 [them] unto the children 01121 of Aaron 0175.

#### Neh 13

1 On that day 03117 they read 07121 08738 in the book 05612 of Moses 04872 in the audience 0241 of the people 05971; and therein was found 04672 08738 written 03789 08803, that the Ammonite 05984 and the Moabite 04125 should not come 0935 08799 into the congregation 06951 of God 0430 for 05704 ever 05769;
2 Because they met 06923 08765 not the children 01121 of Israel 03478 with bread 03899 and with water 04325, but hired 07936 08799 Balaam 01109 against them, that he should curse 07043 08763 them: howbeit our God 0430 turned 02015 08799 the curse 07045 into a blessing 01293.
3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard 08085 08800 the law 08451, that they separated 0914 08686 from Israel 03478 all the mixed multitude 06154.
4 And before 06440 this, Eliashib 0475 the priest 03548, having the oversight 05414 08803 of the chamber 03957 of the house 01004 of our God 0430, [was] allied 07138 unto Tobiah 02900:
5 And he had prepared 06213 08799 for him a great 01419 chamber 03957, where aforetime 06440 they laid 05414 08802 the meat offerings 04503, the frankincense 03828, and the vessels 03627, and the tithes 04643 of the corn 01715, the new wine 08492, and the oil 03323, which was commanded 04687 [to be given] to the Levites 03881, and the singers 07891 08789, and the porters 07778; and the offerings 08641 of the priests 03548.
6 But in all this [time] was not I at Jerusalem 03389: for in the two 08147 and thirtieth 07970 year 08141 of Artaxerxes 0783 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 came 0935 08804 I unto the king 04428, and after 07093 certain days 03117 obtained I leave 07592 08738 of the king 04428:
7 And I came 0935 08799 to Jerusalem 03389, and understood 0995 08799 of the evil 07451 that Eliashib 0475 did 06213 08804 for Tobiah 02900, in preparing 06213 08800 him a chamber 05393 in the courts 02691 of the house 01004 of God 0430.
8 And it grieved 03415 08799 me sore 03966: therefore I cast forth 07993 08686 all the household 01004 stuff 03627 of Tobiah 02900 out of 02351 the chamber 03957.
9 Then I commanded 0559 08799, and they cleansed 02891 08762 the chambers 03957: and thither brought I again 07725 08686 the vessels 03627 of the house 01004 of God 0430, with the meat offering 04503 and the frankincense 03828.
10 And I perceived 03045 08799 that the portions 04521 of the Levites 03881 had not been given 05414 08738 [them]: for the Levites 03881 and the singers 07891 08789, that did 06213 08802 the work 04399, were fled 01272 08799 every one 0376 to his field 07704.
11 Then contended 07378 08799 I with the rulers 05461, and said 0559 08799, Why is the house 01004 of God 0430 forsaken 05800 08738? And I gathered them together 06908 08762, and set 05975 08686 them in their place 05977.
12 Then brought 0935 08689 all Judah 03063 the tithe 04643 of the corn 01715 and the new wine 08492 and the oil 03323 unto the treasuries 0214.
13 And I made treasurers 0686 08799 over the treasuries 0214, Shelemiah 08018 the priest 03548, and Zadok 06659 the scribe 05608 08802, and of the Levites 03881, Pedaiah 06305: and next to them 03027 [was] Hanan 02605 the son 01121 of Zaccur 02139, the son 01121 of Mattaniah 04983: for they were counted 02803 08738 faithful 0539 08737, and their office [was] to distribute 02505 08800 unto their brethren 0251.
14 Remember 02142 08798 me, O my God 0430, concerning this, and wipe not out 04229 08686 my good 02617 deeds that I have done 06213 08804 for the house 01004 of my God 0430, and for the offices 04929 thereof.
15 In those days 03117 saw 07200 08804 I in Judah 03063 [some] treading 01869 08802 wine presses 01660 on the sabbath 07676, and bringing in 0935 08688 sheaves 06194, and lading 06006 08802 asses 02543; as also wine 03196, grapes 06025, and figs 08384, and all [manner of] burdens 04853, which they brought 0935 08688 into Jerusalem 03389 on the sabbath 07676 day 03117: and I testified 05749 08686 [against them] in the day 03117 wherein they sold 04376 08800 victuals 06718.
16 There dwelt 03427 08804 men of Tyre 06876 also therein, which brought 0935 08688 fish 01709 08675 01709, and all manner of ware 04377, and sold 04376 08802 on the sabbath 07676 unto the children 01121 of Judah 03063, and in Jerusalem 03389.
17 Then I contended 07378 08799 with the nobles 02715 of Judah 03063, and said 0559 08799 unto them, What evil 07451 thing 01697 [is] this that ye do 06213 08802, and profane 02490 08764 the sabbath 07676 day 03117?
18 Did 06213 08804 not your fathers 01 thus, and did 0935 00 not our God 0430 bring 0935 08686 all this evil 07451 upon us, and upon this city 05892? yet ye bring 0935 08686 more 03254 08688 wrath 02740 upon Israel 03478 by profaning 02490 08763 the sabbath 07676.
19 And it came to pass, that when the gates 08179 of Jerusalem 03389 began to be dark 06751 08804 before 06440 the sabbath 07676, I commanded 0559 08799 that the gates 01817 should be shut 05462 08735, and charged 0559 08799 that they should not be opened 06605 08799 till after 0310 the sabbath 07676: and [some] of my servants 05288 set 05975 08689 I at the gates 08179, [that] there should no burden 04853 be brought in 0935 08799 on the sabbath 07676 day 03117.
20 So the merchants 07402 08802 and sellers 04376 08802 of all kind of ware 04465 lodged 03885 08799 without 02351 Jerusalem 03389 once 06471 or twice 08147.
21 Then I testified 05749 08686 against them, and said 0559 08799 unto them, Why lodge 03885 08801 ye about 05048 the wall 02346? if ye do [so] again 08138 08799, I will lay 07971 08799 hands 03027 on you. From that time 06256 forth came 0935 08804 they no [more] on the sabbath 07676.
22 And I commanded 0559 08799 the Levites 03881 that they should cleanse 02891 08693 themselves, and [that] they should come 0935 08802 [and] keep 08104 08802 the gates 08179, to sanctify 06942 08763 the sabbath 07676 day 03117. Remember 02142 08798 me, O my God 0430, [concerning] this also, and spare 02347 08798 me according to the greatness 07230 of thy mercy 02617.
23 In those days 03117 also saw 07200 08804 I Jews 03064 [that] had married 03427 08689 wives 0802 of Ashdod 0796, of Ammon 05984, [and] of Moab 04125:
24 And their children 01121 spake 01696 08764 half 02677 in the speech of Ashdod 0797, and could 05234 08688 not speak 01696 08763 in the Jews' language 03066, but according to the language 03956 of each 05971 people 05971.
25 And I contended 07378 08799 with them, and cursed 07043 08762 them, and smote 05221 08686 certain 0582 of them, and plucked off their hair 04803 08799, and made them swear 07650 08686 by God 0430, [saying], Ye shall not give 05414 08799 your daughters 01323 unto their sons 01121, nor take 05375 08799 their daughters 01323 unto your sons 01121, or for yourselves.
26 Did not Solomon 08010 king 04428 of Israel 03478 sin 02398 08804 by these things? yet among many 07227 nations 01471 was there no king 04428 like him, who was beloved 0157 08803 of his God 0430, and God 0430 made 05414 08799 him king 04428 over all Israel 03478: nevertheless even him 01571 did outlandish 05237 women 0802 cause to sin 02398 08689.
27 Shall we then hearken 08085 08799 unto you to do 06213 08800 all this great 01419 evil 07451, to transgress 04603 08800 against our God 0430 in marrying 03427 08687 strange 05237 wives 0802?
28 And [one] of the sons 01121 of Joiada 03111, the son 01121 of Eliashib 0475 the high 01419 priest 03548, [was] son in law 02860 to Sanballat 05571 the Horonite 02772: therefore I chased 01272 08686 him from me.
29 Remember 02142 08798 them, O my God 0430, because they have defiled 01352 the priesthood 03550, and the covenant 01285 of the priesthood 03550, and of the Levites 03881.
30 Thus cleansed 02891 08765 I them from all strangers 05236, and appointed 05975 08686 the wards 04931 of the priests 03548 and the Levites 03881, every one 0376 in his business 04399;
31 And for the wood 06086 offering 07133, at times 06256 appointed 02163 08794, and for the firstfruits 01061. Remember 02142 08798 me, O my God 0430, for good 02896.
