00001 Ezr _ 08 _ 01 6 These are now the chief <07218 ro>sh> of

from Babylon <00894 Babel>, in the reign <04438 malkuwth> of

Artaxerxes <00783 >Artachshashta>> the king <04428 melek>.

00001 Ezr _ 08 _ 28 And I said <00559 >amar> (8799) unto them,

Ye are holy <06944 qodesh> unto the LORD <03068 Y@hovah>; the

vessels <03627 k@liy> are holy <06944 qodesh> also; and the

silver <03701 keceph> and the gold <02091 zahab> are a freewill

offering <05071 n@dabah> unto the LORD <03068 Y@hovah> God

<00430 >elohiym> of your fathers <{00001} >ab>.

00001 Ezr _ 07 _ 27 6 Blessed <01288 barak> (8803) be the LORD

<03068 Y@hovah> God <00430 >elohiym> of our fathers <{00001}

in the king's <04428 melek> heart <03820 leb>, to beautify

<06286 pa>ar> (8763) the house <01004 bayith> of the LORD <03068

Y@hovah> which is in Jerusalem <03389 Y@ruwshalaim>:

00001 Ezr _ 02 _ 68 And some of the chief <07218 ro>sh> of the

house <01004 bayith> of the LORD <03068 Y@hovah> which is at

Jerusalem <03389 Y@ruwshalaim>, offered freely <05068 nadab>

set it up <05975 <amad> (8687) in his place <04349 makown>:

00001 Ezr _ 10 _ 11 Now therefore make <05414 nathan> (8798)

confession <08426 towdah> unto the LORD <03068 Y@hovah> God

<00430 >elohiym> of your fathers <{00001} >ab>, and do <06213

<asah> (8798) his pleasure <07522 ratsown>: and separate <00914

badal> (8734) yourselves from the people <05971 <am> of the land

<00776 >erets>, and from the strange <05237 nokriy> wives <00802

00001 Ezr _ 02 _ 59 And these were they which went up <05927

Tel Charsha>>, Cherub <03743 K@ruwb>, Addan <00135 >Addan>, and

Immer <00564 >Immer>: but they could <03201 yakol> (8804) not

shew <05046 nagad> (8687) their father's <{00001} >ab> house

<01004 bayith>, and their seed <02233 zera<>, whether they were

of Israel <03478 Yisra>el>:

00001 Ezr _ 08 _ 29 Watch <08245 shaqad> (8798) ye, and keep

<08104 shamar> (8798) them, until ye weigh <08254 shaqal> (8799)

Jerusalem <03389 Y@ruwshalaim>, in the chambers <03957 lishkah>

of the house <01004 bayith> of the LORD <03068 Y@hovah>.

00001 Ezr _ 01 _ 05 6 Then rose up <06965 quwm> (8799) the chief

00001 Ezr _ 04 _ 02 Then they came <05066 nagash> (8799) to

Zerubbabel <02216 Z@rubbabel>, and to the chief <07218 ro>sh> of

them, Let us build <01129 banah> (8799) with you: for we seek

<01875 darash> (8799) your God <00430 >elohiym>, as ye do; and

we do sacrifice <02076 zabach> (8802) unto him since the days

00001 Ezr _ 09 _ 07 Since the days <03117 yowm> of our fathers

<{00001} >ab> have we been in a great <01419 gadowl> trespass

<00819 >ashmah> unto this day <03117 yowm>; and for our

our priests <03548 kohen>, been delivered <05414 nathan> (8738)

into the hand <03027 yad> of the kings <04428 melek> of the

00001 Ezr _ 10 _ 16 And the children <01121 ben> of the

nothing to do with us to build <01129 banah> (8800) an house

<01004 bayith> unto our God <00430 >elohiym>; but we ourselves

00002 Ezr _ 04 _ 15 That search <01240 b@qar> (8741) may be made

house <01005 bayith> of God <00426 >elahh> which is in Jerusalem

00116 Ezr _ 05 _ 02 Then <{00116} >edayin> rose up <06966 quwm>

00116 Ezr _ 05 _ 05 But the eye <05870 <ayin> of their God

00430 Ezr _ 09 _ 15 O LORD <03068 Y@hovah> God <{00430}

00430 Ezr _ 09 _ 04 Then were assembled <00622 >acaph> (8735)

00430 Ezr _ 09 _ 06 And said <00559 >amar> (8799), O my God

<00430 >elohiym>, I am ashamed <00954 buwsh> (8804) and blush

00430 Ezr _ 08 _ 25 And weighed <08254 shaqal> (8799) unto them

the silver <03701 keceph>, and the gold <02091 zahab>, and the

00430 Ezr _ 01 _ 02 Thus saith <00559 >amar> (8804) Cyrus <03566

Kowresh> king <04428 melek> of Persia <06539 Parac>, The LORD

<03068 Y@hovah> God <{00430} >elohiym> of heaven <08064

which is in Judah <03063 Y@huwdah>.

00430 Ezr _ 01 _ 05 6 Then rose up <06965 quwm> (8799) the chief

<07218 ro>sh> of the fathers <00001 >ab> of Judah <03063

Y@huwdah> and Benjamin <01144 Binyamiyn>, and the priests <03548

banah> (8800) the house <01004 bayith> of the LORD <03068

Y@hovah> which is in Jerusalem <03389 Y@ruwshalaim>.

00430 Ezr _ 01 _ 04 And whosoever remaineth <07604 sha>ar>

<05071 n@dabah> for the house <01004 bayith> of God <{00430}

00430 Ezr _ 10 _ 03 Now therefore let us make <03772 karath>

(8799) a covenant <01285 b@riyth> with our God <00430 >elohiym>

to put away <03318 yatsa>> (8687) all the wives <00802 >ishshah>,

 and such as are born <03205 yalad> (8737) of them, according to

the counsel <06098 <etsah> of my lord <00136 >Adonay>, and of

those that tremble <02730 chared> at the commandment <04687

<06213 <asah> (8735) according to the law <08451 towrah>.

00430 Ezr _ 10 _ 03 Now therefore let us make <03772 karath>

00430 Ezr _ 04 _ 02 Then they came <05066 nagash> (8799) to

Zerubbabel <02216 Z@rubbabel>, and to the chief <07218 ro>sh> of

the fathers <00001 >ab>, and said <00559 >amar> (8799) unto them,

 Let us build <01129 banah> (8799) with you: for we seek <01875

darash> (8799) your God <{00430} >elohiym>, as ye do; and we do

sacrifice <02076 zabach> (8802) unto him since the days <03117

yowm> of Esarhaddon <00634 >Ecar-Chaddown> king <04428 melek> of

Assur <00804 >Ashshuwr>, which brought us up hither <05927

<alah> (8688).

00430 Ezr _ 07 _ 06 This Ezra <05830 <Ezra>> went up <05927

<alah> (8804) from Babylon <00894 Babel>; and he was a ready

<04106 mahiyr> scribe <05608 caphar> (8802) in the law <08451

towrah> of Moses <04872 Mosheh>, which the LORD <03068 Y@hovah>

God <{00430} >elohiym> of Israel <03478 Yisra>el> had given

<05414 nathan> (8804): and the king <04428 melek> granted <05414

nathan> (8799) him all his request <01246 baqqashah>, according

to the hand <03027 yad> of the LORD <03068 Y@hovah> his God

00430 Ezr _ 07 _ 06 This Ezra <05830 <Ezra>> went up <05927

<{00430} >elohiym> upon him.

00430 Ezr _ 08 _ 31 6 Then we departed <05265 naca<> (8799) from

the river <05104 nahar> of Ahava <00163 >Ahava>> on the twelfth

<08147 sh@nayim> <06240 <asar> day of the first <07223 ri>shown>

month <02320 chodesh>, to go <03212 yalak> (8800) unto Jerusalem

<03389 Y@ruwshalaim>: and the hand <03027 yad> of our God

<{00430} >elohiym> was upon us, and he delivered <05337 natsal>

(8686) us from the hand <03709 kaph> of the enemy <00341 >oyeb>

(8802), and of such as lay in wait <00693 >arab> (8802) by the

way <01870 derek>.

00430 Ezr _ 07 _ 28 And hath extended <05186 natah> (8689) mercy

<02617 checed> unto me before <06440 paniym> the king <04428

melek>, and his counsellors <03289 ya<ats> (8802), and before

all the king's <04428 melek> mighty <01368 gibbowr> princes

<08269 sar>. And I was strengthened <02388 chazaq> (8694) as the

hand <03027 yad> of the LORD <03068 Y@hovah> my God <{00430}

>elohiym> was upon me, and I gathered together <06908 qabats>

(8799) out of Israel <03478 Yisra>el> chief men <07218 ro>sh> to

go up <05927 <alah> (8800) with me.

00430 Ezr _ 03 _ 09 Then stood <05975 <amad> (8799) Jeshua

<03442 Yeshuwa<> with his sons <01121 ben> and his brethren

<00251 >ach>, Kadmiel <06934 Qadmiy>el> and his sons <01121 ben>,

Henadad <02582 Chenadad>, with their sons <01121 ben> and their

brethren <00251 >ach> the Levites <03881 Leviyiy>.

00430 Ezr _ 10 _ 02 And Shechaniah <07935 Sh@kanyah> the son

<01121 ben> of Jehiel <03171 Y@chiy>el>, one of the sons <01121

ben> of Elam <05867 <Eylam>, answered <06030 <anah> (8799) and

said <00559 >amar> (8799) unto Ezra <05830 <Ezra>>, We have

trespassed <04603 ma<al> (8804) against our God <{00430}

>elohiym>, and have taken <03427 yashab> (8686) strange <05237

nokriy> wives <00802 >ishshah> of the people <05971 <am> of the

land <00776 >erets>: yet now there is <03426 yesh> hope <04723

miqveh> in Israel <03478 Yisra>el> concerning this thing.

00430 Ezr _ 09 _ 08 And now for a little <04592 m@<at> space

<07281 rega<> grace <08467 t@chinnah> hath been shewed from the

LORD <03068 Y@hovah> our God <00430 >elohiym>, to leave <07604

give <05414 nathan> (8800) us a nail <03489 yathed> in his holy

 and give <05414 nathan> (8800) us a little <04592 m@<at>

reviving <04241 michyah> in our bondage <05659 <abduwth>.

00430 Ezr _ 09 _ 08 And now for a little <04592 m@<at> space

<07281 rega<> grace <08467 t@chinnah> hath been shewed from the

LORD <03068 Y@hovah> our God <{00430} >elohiym>, to leave <07604

00430 Ezr _ 06 _ 22 And kept <06213 <asah> (8799) the feast

<02282 chag> of unleavened bread <04682 matstsah> seven <07651

sheba<> days <03117 yowm> with joy <08057 simchah>: for the LORD

<03068 Y@hovah> had made them joyful <08055 samach> (8765), and

turned <05437 cabab> (8689) the heart <03820 leb> of the king

<04428 melek> of Assyria <00804 >Ashshuwr> unto them, to

strengthen <02388 chazaq> (8763) their hands <03027 yad> in the

work <04399 m@la>kah> of the house <01004 bayith> of God <00430

>elohiym>, the God <{00430} >elohiym> of Israel <03478 Yisra>el>.

00430 Ezr _ 06 _ 22 And kept <06213 <asah> (8799) the feast

<02282 chag> of unleavened bread <04682 matstsah> seven <07651

sheba<> days <03117 yowm> with joy <08057 simchah>: for the LORD

<03068 Y@hovah> had made them joyful <08055 samach> (8765), and

turned <05437 cabab> (8689) the heart <03820 leb> of the king

<04428 melek> of Assyria <00804 >Ashshuwr> unto them, to

strengthen <02388 chazaq> (8763) their hands <03027 yad> in the

work <04399 m@la>kah> of the house <01004 bayith> of God

<{00430} >elohiym>, the God <00430 >elohiym> of Israel <03478

Yisra>el>.

00430 Ezr _ 10 _ 06 6 Then Ezra <05830 <Ezra>> rose up <06965

quwm> (8799) from before <06440 paniym> the house <01004 bayith>

of God <{00430} >elohiym>, and went <03212 yalak> (8799) into

the chamber <03957 lishkah> of Johanan <03076 Y@howchanan> the

son <01121 ben> of Eliashib <00475 >Elyashiyb>: and when he came

<03212 yalak> (8799) thither, he did eat <00398 >akal> (8804) no

bread <03899 lechem>, nor drink <08354 shathah> (8804) water

<04325 mayim>: for he mourned <00056 >abal> (8693) because of

the transgression <04604 ma<al> of them that had been carried

away <01473 gowlah>.

00430 Ezr _ 10 _ 14 Let now our rulers <08269 sar> of all the

congregation <06951 qahal> stand <05975 <amad> (8799), and let

all them which have taken <03427 yashab> (8689) strange <05237

nokriy> wives <00802 >ishshah> in our cities <05892 <iyr> come

<00935 bow>> (8799) at appointed <02163 zaman> (8794) times

<06256 <eth>, and with them the elders <02205 zaqen> of every

city <05892 <iyr>, and the judges <08199 shaphat> (8802) thereof,

 until the fierce <02740 charown> wrath <00639 >aph> of our God

<{00430} >elohiym> for this matter <01697 dabar> be turned

<07725 shuwb> (8687) from us.

00430 Ezr _ 10 _ 01 6 Now when Ezra <05830 <Ezra>> had prayed

<06419 palal> (8692), and when he had confessed <03034 yadah>

(8692), weeping <01058 bakah> (8802) and casting himself down

<05307 naphal> (8693) before <06440 paniym> the house <01004

bayith> of God <{00430} >elohiym>, there assembled <06908

qabats> (8738) unto him out of Israel <03478 Yisra>el> a very

<03966 m@<od> great <07227 rab> congregation <06951 qahal> of

men <00582 >enowsh> and women <00802 >ishshah> and children

<03206 yeled>: for the people <05971 <am> wept <01058 bakah>

(8804) very <07235 rabah> (8687) sore <01059 bekeh>.

00430 Ezr _ 08 _ 22 For I was ashamed <00954 buwsh> (8804) to

require <07592 sha>al> (8800) of the king <04428 melek> a band

of soldiers <02428 chayil> and horsemen <06571 parash> to help

<05826 <azar> (8800) us against the enemy <00341 >oyeb> (8802)

in the way <01870 derek>: because we had spoken <00559 >amar>

(8804) unto the king <04428 melek>, saying <00559 >amar> (8800),

The hand <03027 yad> of our God <{00430} >elohiym> is upon all

them for good <02896 towb> that seek <01245 baqash> (8764) him;

but his power <05797 <oz> and his wrath <00639 >aph> is against

all them that forsake <05800 <azab> (8802) him.

00430 Ezr _ 08 _ 17 And I sent <06680 tsavah> (8762) them with

trespassed <04603 ma<al> (8804) against our God <00430 >elohiym>,

00559 Ezr _ 09 _ 11 Which thou hast commanded <06680 tsavah>

yarash> (8800) it, is an unclean <05079 niddah> land <00776

tow<ebah>, which have filled <04390 male>> (8765) it from one

end <06310 peh> to another <06310 peh> with their uncleanness

00559 Ezr _ 08 _ 22 For I was ashamed <00954 buwsh> (8804) to

(8800), The hand <03027 yad> of our God <00430 >elohiym> is upon

all them for good <02896 towb> that seek <01245 baqash> (8764)

him; but his power <05797 <oz> and his wrath <00639 >aph> is

00559 Ezr _ 08 _ 22 For I was ashamed <00954 buwsh> (8804) to

nothing to do with us to build <01129 banah> (8800) an house

said <00559 >amar> (8799) unto Ezra <05830 <Ezra>>, We have

trespassed <04603 ma<al> (8804) against our God <00430 >elohiym>,

Zerubbabel <02216 Z@rubbabel>, and to the chief <07218 ro>sh> of

00818 Ezr _ 10 _ 19 And they gave <05414 nathan> (8799) their

hands <03027 yad> that they would put away <03318 yatsa>> (8687)

they offered a ram <00352 >ayil> of the flock <06629 tso>n> for

their trespass <00819 >ashmah>.

00819 Ezr _ 10 _ 19 And they gave <05414 nathan> (8799) their

00819 Ezr _ 09 _ 15 O LORD <03068 Y@hovah> God <00430 >elohiym>

of Israel <03478 Yisra>el>, thou art righteous <06662 tsaddiyq>:

00819 Ezr _ 09 _ 07 Since the days <03117 yowm> of our fathers
