 : 01 .  The words <1697 dabar > of Nehemiah <5166 N@chemyah >

the son <1121 ben > of Hachaliah <2446 Chakalyah > .  And it

came <1961 hayah > to pass in the month <2320 chodesh > Chisleu

<3691 Kiclev > ,  in the twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141

shaneh > ,  as I was in Shushan <7800 Shuwshan > the palace

<1002 biyrah > ,

 : 02 That Hanani <2607 Chananiy > ,  one <0259 >echad > of my

brethren <0251 >ach > ,  came <0935 bow> > ,  he and  [ certain

]  men <0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ;  and I asked

<7592 sha>al > them concerning <5921 <al > the Jews <3064

Y@huwdiy > that had escaped <6413 p@leytah > ,  which <0834

>aher > were left <7604 sha>ar > of the captivity <7628 sh@biy >

 : 03 And they said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  The remnant <7604

sha>ar > that are left <7604 sha>ar > of the captivity <7628

sh@biy > there <8033 sham > in the province <4082 m@diynah >  [

and the gates <8179 sha<ar > thereof are burned <3341 yatsath >

 : 04 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when I heard <8085

shama< > these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > ,  that I

sat <3427 yashab > down and wept <1058 bakah > ,  and mourned

<56>  [ certain ]  days <3117 yowm > ,  and fasted <6684 tsuwm >

,  and prayed <6419 palal > before <6440 paniym > the God <0430

>elohiym > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ,

 : 05 .  And said <0559 >amar > ,  I beseech <0577 >anna> > thee

,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of heaven <8064

shamayim > ,  the great <1419 gadowl > and terrible <3372 yare>

 : 06 Let thine ear <0241 >ozen > now <4994 na> > be attentive

<7183 qashshab > ,  and thine eyes <5869 <ayin > open <6605

pathach > ,  that thou mayest hear <8085 shama< > the prayer

<8605 t@phillah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,  which <0834

>aher > I pray <6419 palal > before <6440 paniym > thee now

<3117 yowm > ,  day <3119 yowmam > and night <3915 layil > ,  

for the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > thy

servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and confess <3034 yadah > the sins

<2403 chatta>ah > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478

Yisra>el > ,  which <0834 >aher > we have sinned <2398 chata> >

against thee : both I and my father s <1> house <1004 bayith >

have sinned <2398 chata> > .

 : 07 We have dealt very corruptly <2254 chabal > against thee ,

 and have not kept <8104 shamar > the commandments <4687 mitsvah

mishpat > ,  which <0834 >aher > thou commandedst <6680 tsavah >

thy servant <5650 <ebed > Moses <4872 Mosheh > .

 : 08 Remember <2142 zakar > ,  I beseech <4994 na> > thee ,  

the word <1697 dabar > that thou commandedst <6680 tsavah > thy

servant <5650 <ebed > Moses <4872 Mosheh > ,  saying <0559 >amar

<6327 puwts > you abroad <6327 puwts > among the nations <5971

<am > :

 : 09 But  [ if ]  ye turn <7725 shuwb > unto me ,  and keep

<8104 shamar > mycommandments <4687 mitsvah > ,  and do <6213

<asah > them ;  though <0518 >im > there were of you cast <5080

nadach > out unto the uttermost <7097 qatseh > part of the

heaven <8064 shamayim > ,   [ yet ]  will I gather <6908 qabats

them unto the place <4725 maqowm > that I have chosen <0970

bachuwr > to set <7931 shakan > my name <8034 shem > there <8033

sham > .

 : 10 Now these <1992 hem >  [ are ]  thy servants <5650 <ebed >

and thy people <5971 <am > ,  whom <0834 >aher > thou hast

redeemed <6299 padah > by thy great <1419 gadowl > power <3581

koach > ,  and by thy strong <2389 chazaq > hand <3027 yad > .

 : 11 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  I beseech <0577 >anna> > thee ,  

let now <4994 na> > thine ear <0241 >ozen > be attentive <7183

qashshab > to the prayer <8605 t@phillah > of thy servant <5650

<ebed > ,  and to the prayer <8605 t@phillah > of thy servants

<5650 <ebed > ,  who desire <2655 chaphets > to fear <3372 yare>

> thy name <8034 shem > : and prosper <6743 tsalach > ,  I pray

<4994 na> > thee ,  thy servant <5650 <ebed > this day <3117

yowm > ,  and grant <5414 nathan > him mercy <7356 racham > in

the sight <6440 paniym > of this <2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh > .

 For I was the king s <4428 melek > cupbearer <4945 mashqeh > .

 : Nehemiah 2

 : 01 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the month <2320

chodesh > Nisan <5212 Niycan > ,  in the twentieth <6242 <esriym

> year <8141 shaneh > of Artaxerxes <0783 >Artachshashta> > the

king <4428 melek > ,   [ that ]  wine <3196 yayin >  [ was ]  

before <6440 paniym > him : and I took <5375 nasa> > up the wine

<3196 yayin > ,  and gave <5414 nathan >  [ it ]  unto the king

<4428 melek > .  Now I had not been <1961 hayah >  [ beforetime

]  sad <7451 ra< > in his presence <6440 paniym > .

 : 02 Wherefore the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto

me ,  Why <4069 madduwa< >  [ is ]  thy countenance <6440 paniym

> sad <7451 ra< > ,  seeing thou  [ art ]  not sick <2470 chalah

> ?  this <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  nothing <0369 >ayin >  [ else ]  

but sorrow <7455 roa< > of heart <3820 leb > .  Then I was very

<3966 m@<od > sore <7235 rabah > afraid <3372 yare> > ,

 : 03 And said <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > ,  Let

the king <4428 melek > live <2421 chayah > for ever <5769 <owlam

> : why <4069 madduwa< > should not my countenance <6440 paniym

> be sad <7489 ra<a< > ,  when <0834 >aher > the city <5892 <iyr

> ,  the place <1004 bayith > of my fathers <1>  sepulchres

<6913 qeber > ,   [ lieth ]  waste <2720 chareb > ,  and the

gates <8179 sha<ar > thereof are consumed <0398 >akal > with

fire <0784 >esh > ?

 : 04 Then the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  

For what <4100 mah > dost thou make request <1245 baqash > ?  So

I prayed <6419 palal > to the God <0430 >elohiym > of heaven

<8064 shamayim > .

 : 05 And I said <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > ,  If

<0518 >im > it please <2895 towb > the king <4428 melek > ,  and

if <0518 >im > thy servant <5650 <ebed > have found favour <3190

yatab > in thy sight <6440 paniym > ,  that thou wouldest send

<7971 shalach > me unto Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  unto the city

<5892 <iyr > of my fathers <1>  sepulchres <6913 qeber > ,  that

I may build <1129 banah > it .

 : 06 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  

( the queen <7694 shegal > also sitting <3427 yashab > by him ,  

)  For how <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall thy journey <4109

mahalak > be ?  and when <4970 mathay > wilt thou return <7725

shuwb > ?  So it pleased <3190 yatab > the king <4428 melek > to

send <7971 shalach > me ;  and I set <5414 nathan > him a time

<2165 z@man > .

 : 07 Moreover I said <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > ,

  If it please <2895 towb > the king <4428 melek > ,  let

letters <0107 >iggereth > be given <5414 nathan > me to the

governors <6346 pechah > beyond <5676 <eber > the river <5104

nahar > ,  that they may convey <5674 <abar > me over <5674

<abar > till <5704 <ad > I come <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el >

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ;

 : 08 And a letter <0107 >iggereth > unto Asaph <0623 >Acaph >

the keeper <8104shamar > of the king s <4428 melek > forest

<6508 pardec > ,  that he may give <5414 nathan > me timber

<6086 <ets > to make beams <7136 qarah > for the gates <8179

sha<ar > of the palace <1002 biyrah > which <0834 >aher >  [

appertained ]  to the house <1004 bayith > ,  and for the wall

<2346 chowmah > of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and for the house

<1004 bayith > that I shall enter <0935 bow> > into <5921 <al > .

  And the king <4428 melek > granted <5414 nathan > me ,  

according to the good <2896 towb > hand <3027 yad > of my God

<0430 >elohiym > upon me .

 : 09 .  Then I came <0935 bow> > to the governors <6346 pechah

> beyond <5676 <eber > the river <5104 nahar > ,  and gave <5414

nathan > them the king s <4428 melek > letters <0107 >iggereth >

.  Now the king <4428 melek > had sent <7971 shalach > captains

<8269 sar > of the army <2428 chayil > and horsemen <6571 parash

> with me .

 : 10 When Sanballat <5571 Canballat > the Horonite <2772

Choroniy > ,  and Tobiah <2900 Towbiyah > the servant <5650

<ebed > ,  the Ammonite <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  heard <8085 shama<

>  [ of it ]  ,  it grieved <7489 ra<a< > them exceedingly <1419

gadowl > that there was come <0935 bow> > a man <0120 >adam > to

seek <1245 baqash > the welfare <2896 towb > of the children

<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 11 So I came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,

 and was there <8033 sham > three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117

yowm > .

 : 12 And I arose <6965 quwm > in the night <3915 layil > ,  I

and some <4592 m@<at > few <4592 m@<at > men <0582 >enowsh >

with me ;  neither <3808 lo> > told <5046 nagad > I  [ any ]  

man <0120 >adam > what <4100 mah > my God <0430 >elohiym > had

put <5414 nathan > in my heart <3820 leb > to do <6213 <asah >

at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : neither <0369 >ayin >  [ was

there any ]  beast <0929 b@hemah > with me ,  save the beast

<0929 b@hemah > that I rode <7392 rakab > upon .

 : 13 And I went <3318 yatsa> > out by night <3915 layil > by

the gate <8179 sha<ar > of the valley <1516 gay> > ,  even

before the dragon <8577 tanniyn > well <2869 tab > ,  and to the

dung <0830 >ashpoth > port <8179 sha<ar > ,  and viewed <7663

sabar > the walls <2346 chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim > ,  which <0834 >aher > were broken <6555 parats >

down ,  and the gates <8179 sha<ar > thereof were consumed <0398

>akal > with fire <0784 >esh > .

 : 14 Then I went <5674 <abar > on <0413 >el > to the gate <8179

sha<ar > of the fountain <5869 <ayin > ,  and to the king s

<4428 melek > pool <1295 b@rekah > : but  [ there was ]  no

<0369 >ayin > place <4725 maqowm > for the beast <0929 b@hemah >

 [ that was ]  under <8478 tachath > me to pass <5674 <abar > .

 : 15 Then went <5927 <alah > I up in the night <3915 layil > by

the brook <5158 nachal > ,  and viewed <7663 sabar > the wall

<2346 chowmah > ,  and turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > ,

 and entered <0935 bow> > by the gate <8179 sha<ar > of the

valley <1516 gay> > ,  and  [ so ]  returned <7725 shuwb > .

 : 16 And the rulers <5461 cagan > knew <3045 yada< > not

whither <0575 >an > I went <1980 halak > ,  or what <4100 mah >

I did <6213 <asah > ;  neither <3808 lo> > had I as yet told

<5046 nagad >  [ it ]  to the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > ,  nor to

the priests <3548 kohen > ,  nor to the nobles <2715 chor > ,  

nor to the rulers <5461 cagan > ,  nor to the rest <3499 yether

> that did <6213 <asah > the work <4399 m@la>kah > .

 : 17 Then said <0559 >amar > I unto them ,  Ye see <7200 ra>ah

> the distress <7451 ra< > that we  [ are ]  in ,  how <0834

>aher > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >  [ lieth ]  waste <2720

chareb > ,  and the gates <8179 sha<ar > thereof are burned

<3341 yatsath > with fire <0784 >esh > : come <3212 yalak > ,  

and let us build <1129 banah > up the wall <2346 chowmah > of

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  that we be no <3808 lo> > more

<5720 <Adiyn > a reproach <2781 cherpah > .

 : 18 Then I told <5046 nagad > them of the hand <3027 yad > of

my God <0430 >elohiym > which <0834 >aher > was good <2896 towb

> upon me ;  as also <0637 >aph > the king s <4428 melek > words

<1697 dabar > that he had spoken <0559 >amar > unto me .  And

they said <0559 >amar > ,  Let us rise <6965 quwm > up and build

<1129 banah > .  So they strengthened <2388 chazaq > their hands

<3027 yad > for  [ this ]  good <2896 towb >  [ work ]  .

 : 19 But when Sanballat <5571 Canballat > the Horonite <2772

Choroniy > ,  and Tobiah <2900 Towbiyah > the servant <5650

<ebed > ,  the Ammonite <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  and Geshem <1654

Geshem > the Arabian <6163 <Arabiy > ,  heard <8085 shama< >  [

it ]  ,  they laughed <3932 la<ag > us to scorn ,  and despised

<0959 bazah > us ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah >  

[ is ]  this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > that ye do <6213

<asah > ?  will ye rebel <4775 marad > against <5921 <al > the

king <4428 melek > ?

 : 20 Then answered <1697 dabar > I them ,  and said <0559 >amar

> unto them ,  The God <0430 >elohiym > of heaven <8064 shamayim

> ,  he will prosper <6743 tsalach > us ;  therefore we his

servants <5650 <ebed > will arise <6965 quwm > and build <1129

banah > : but ye have no <0369 >ayin > portion <2506 cheleq > ,  

nor right <6666 ts@daqah > ,  nor memorial <2146 zikrown > ,  in

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : Nehemiah 4

 : 01 .  But it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  that when <0834

>aher > Sanballat <5571 Canballat > heard <8085 shama< > that we

builded <1129 banah > the wall <2346 chowmah > ,  he was wroth

<2734 charah > ,  and took great <7235 rabah > indignation <3707

ka<ac > ,  and mocked <3932 la<ag > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > .

 : 02 And he spake <0559 >amar > before <6440 paniym > his

brethren <0251 >ach > and the army <2428 chayil > of Samaria

<8111 Shom@rown > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah >

do <6213 <asah > these feeble <0537 >amelal > Jews <3064

Y@huwdiy > ?  will they fortify <5800 <azab > themselves <1992

hem > ?  will they sacrifice <2076 zabach > ?  will they make an

end <3615 kalah > in a day <3117 yowm > ?  will they revive

<2421 chayah > the stones <68> out of the heaps <6194 <arem > of

the rubbish <6083 <aphar > which <1992 hem > are burned <8313

saraph > ?

 : 03 Now Tobiah <2900 Towbiyah > the Ammonite <5984 <Ammowniy >

 [ was ]  by him ,  and he said <0559 >amar > ,  Even <1571 gam

> that which <0834 >aher > they build <1129 banah > ,  if <0518

>im > a fox <7776 shuw<al > go <5927 <alah > up ,  he shall even

break <6565 parar > down their stone <68> wall <2346 chowmah > .

 : 04 Hear <8085 shama< > ,  O our God <0430 >elohiym > ;  for

we are despised <0939 buwzah > : and turn <7725 shuwb > their

reproach <2781 cherpah > upon their own head <7218 ro>sh > ,  

and give <5414 nathan > them for a prey <0961 bizzah > in the

land <0776 >erets > of captivity <7633 shibyah > :

 : 05 And cover <3680 kacah > not their iniquity <5771 <avon > ,

 and let not their sin <2403 chatta>ah > be blotted <4229 machah

[ thee ]  to anger <3707 ka<ac > before <5048 neged > the

builders <1129 banah > .

 : 06 So built <1129 banah > we the wall <2346 chowmah > ;  and

all <3605 kol > the wall <2346 chowmah > was joined <7194 qashar

> together unto the half <2677 chetsiy > thereof : for the

people <5971 <am > had <1961 hayah > a mind <3820 leb > to work

<6213 <asah > .

 : 07 .  But it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,   [ that ]  when

<0834 >aher > Sanballat <5571 Canballat > ,  and Tobiah <2900

Towbiyah > ,  and the Arabians <6163 <Arabiy > ,  and the

Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  and the Ashdodites <0796

>Ashdowdiy > ,  heard <8085 shama< > that the walls <2346

chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > were made up ,   [

and ]  that the breaches <6555 parats > began <2490 chalal > to

be stopped <5640 catham > ,  then they were very <3966 m@<od >

wroth <2734 charah > ,

 : 08 And conspired <7194 qashar > all <3605 kol > of them

together <3162 yachad > to come <0935 bow> >  [ and ]  to fight

<3898 lacham > against Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and to

hinder it .

 : 09 Nevertheless we made our prayer <6419 palal > unto our God

<0430 >elohiym > ,  and set <5975 <amad > a watch <4929 mishmar

> against <5921 <al > them day <3119 yowmam > and night <3915

layil > ,  because <6440 paniym > of them .

 : 10 And Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > said <0559 >amar > ,  The

strength <3581 koach > of the bearers <5449 cabbal > of burdens

<5449 cabbal > is decayed <3782 kashal > ,  and  [ there is ]  

much <7235 rabah > rubbish <6083 <aphar > ;  so that we are not

able <3201 yakol > to build <1129 banah > the wall <2346 chowmah

 : 11 And our adversaries <6862 tsar > said <0559 >amar > ,  

They shall not know <3045 yada< > ,  neither <3808 lo> > see

<7200 ra>ah > ,  till <5704 <ad > we come <0935 bow> > in the

midst <8432 tavek > among <8432 tavek > them ,  and slay <2026

harag > them ,  and cause the work <4399 m@la>kah > to cease

<7673 shabath > .

 : 12 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  that when <0834 >aher

> the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > which dwelt <3427 yashab > by them

came <0935 bow> > ,  they said <0559 >amar > unto us ten <6235

<eser > times <6471 pa<am > ,  From all <3605 kol > places <4725

maqowm > whence <0370 >aiyn > ye shall return <7725 shuwb > unto

us  [ they will be upon you ]  .

 : 13 Therefore set <5975 <amad > I in the lower <8482 tachtiy >

places <4725 maqowm > behind <0310 >achar > the wall <2346

chowmah > ,   [ and ]  on the higher <6706 ts@chiyach > places ,

 I even set <5975 <amad > the people <5971 <am > after their

families <4940 mishpachah > with their swords <2719 chereb > ,  

their spears <7420 romach > ,  and their bows <7198 qesheth > .

 : 14 And I looked <6437 panah > ,  and rose <6965 quwm > up ,  

and said <0559 >amar > unto the nobles <2715 chor > ,  and to

the rulers <5461 cagan > ,  and to the rest <3499 yether > of

the people <5971 <am > ,  Be not ye afraid <3372 yare> > of them

: remember <2142 zakar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,   [ which is

]  great <1419 gadowl > and terrible <3372 yare> > ,  and fight

<3898 lacham > for your brethren <0251 >ach > ,  your sons <1121

ben > ,  and your daughters <1121 ben > ,  your wives <0802

>ishshah > ,  and your houses <1004 bayith > .

 : 15 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <0834 >aher >

our enemies <0341 >oyeb > heard <8085 shama< > that it was known

<3045 yada< > unto us ,  and God <0430 >elohiym > had brought

<6565 parar > their counsel <6098 <etsah > to nought <6565 parar

wall <2346 chowmah > ,  every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >

unto his work <4399 m@la>kah > .

 : 16 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass from that time <3117

yowm > forth ,   [ that ]  the half <2677 chetsiy > of my

servants <5288 na<ar > wrought <6213 <asah > in the work <4399

m@la>kah > ,  and the other half <2677 chetsiy > of them held

<2388 chazaq > both the spears <7420 romach > ,  the shields

<4043 magen > ,  and the bows <7198 qesheth > ,  and the

habergeons <8302 shiryown > ;  and the rulers <8269 sar >  [

were ]  behind <0310 >achar > all <3605 kol > the house <1004

bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 17 They which builded <1129 banah > on the wall <2346 chowmah

> ,  and they that bare <5375 nasa> > burdens <5447 cebel > ,  

with those that laded <6006 <amac > ,   [ every <0376 >iysh >

one ]  with one <0259 >echad > of his hands <3027 yad > wrought

<6213 <asah > in the work <4399 m@la>kah > ,  and with the other

<0259 >echad >  [ hand ]  held <2388 chazaq > a weapon <7973

shelach > .

 : 18 For the builders <1129 banah > ,  every <0376 >iysh > one

<0376 >iysh > had his sword <2719 chereb > girded <0631 >acar >

by his side <4975 mothen > ,  and  [ so ]  builded <1129 banah >

.  And he that sounded <8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar

>  [ was ]  by me .

 : 19 And I said <0559 >amar > unto the nobles <2715 chor > ,  

and to the rulers <5461 cagan > ,  and to the rest <3499 yether

> of the people <5971 <am > ,  The work <4399 m@la>kah >  [ is ]

 great <7235 rabah > and large <7342 rachab > ,  and we are

separated <6504 parad > upon the wall <2346 chowmah > ,  one far

<7350 rachowq > from another <0250 >Ezrachiy > .

 : 20 In what <0834 >aher > place <4725 maqowm >  [ therefore ]  

ye hear <8085 shama< > the sound <6963 qowl > of the trumpet

<7782 showphar > ,  resort <6908 qabats > ye thither <8033 sham

> unto us : our God <0430 >elohiym > shall fight <3898 lacham >

for us .

 : 21 So we laboured <6213 <asah > in the work <4399 m@la>kah > :

 and half <2677 chetsiy > of them held <2388 chazaq > the spears

<7420 romach > from the rising <5927 <alah > of the morning

<7837 shachar > till <5704 <ad > the stars <3556 kowkab >

appeared <3318 yatsa> > .

 : 22 Likewise <1571 gam > at the same <1931 huw> > time <6256

<eth > said <0559 >amar > I unto the people <5971 <am > ,  Let

every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > with his servant <5650

<ebed > lodge <3885 luwn > within <8432 tavek > Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim > ,  that in the night <3915 layil > they may be a

guard <4929 mishmar > to us ,  and labour <4399 m@la>kah > on

the day <3117 yowm > .

 : 23 So neither <0369 >ayin > I ,  nor my brethren <0251 >ach >

,  nor my servants <5288 na<ar > ,  nor the men <0582 >enowsh >

of the guard <4929 mishmar > which <0834 >aher > followed <0310

>achar > me ,  none <0369 >ayin > of us put <6584 pashat > off

our clothes <0899 beged > ,   [ saving that ]  every <0376 >iysh

<4325 mayim > .

 : Nehemiah 5

 : 01 .  And there was a great <1419 gadowl > cry <6818 tsa<aqah

> of the people <5971 <am > and of their wives <0802 >ishshah >

against <0413 >el > their brethren <0251 >ach > the Jews <3064

Y@huwdiy > .

 : 02 For there were that said <0559 >amar > ,  We ,  our sons

<1121 ben > ,  and our daughters <1121 ben > ,   [ are ]  many

<7227 rab > : therefore we take <3947 laqach > up corn <1715

dagan >  [ for them ]  ,  that we may eat <0398 >akal > ,  and

live <2421 chayah > .

 : 03  [ Some ]  also there were that said <0559 >amar > ,  We

have mortgaged <6148 <arab > our lands <7704 sadeh > ,  

vineyards <3754 kerem > ,  and houses <1004 bayith > ,  that we

might buy <3947 laqach > corn <1715 dagan > ,  because of the

dearth <7458 ra<ab > .

 : 04 There were also that said <0559 >amar > ,  We have

borrowed <3867 lavah > money <3701 keceph > for the king s <4428

melek > tribute <4060 middah > ,   [ and that upon ]  our lands

<7704 sadeh > and vineyards <3754 kerem > .

 : 05 Yet now <6258 <attah > our flesh <1320 basar >  [ is ]  as

the flesh <1320 basar > of our brethren <0251 >ach > ,  our

children <1121 ben > as their children <1121 ben > : and ,  lo

<2009 hinneh > ,  we bring <3533 kabash > into bondage <3533

kabash > our sons <1121 ben > and our daughters <1121 ben > to

be servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and  [ some ]  of our daughters

<1121 ben > are brought <3533 kabash > unto bondage <3533 kabash

<3027 yad >  [ to redeem them ]  ;  for other <0312 >acher > men

<0582 >enowsh > have our lands <7704 sadeh > and vineyards <3754

kerem > .

 : 06 .  And I was very <3966 m@<od > angry <2734 charah > when

<0834 >aher > I heard <8085 shama< > their cry <2201 za<aq > and

these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > .

 : 07 Then I consulted <4427 malak > with myself ,  and I

rebuked <7378 riyb > the nobles <2715 chor > ,  and the rulers

<5461 cagan > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Ye exact

<5378 nasha> > usury <5383 nashah > ,  every <0376 >iysh > one

<0376 >iysh > of his brother <0251 >ach > .  And I set <5414

nathan > a great <1419 gadowl > assembly <6952 q@hillah >

against <5921 <al > them .

 : 08 And I said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  We after <1767 day >

our ability <1767 day > have redeemed <7069 qanah > our brethren

<0251 >ach > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > ,  which were sold <4376

makar > unto the heathen <1471 gowy > ;  and will ye even <1571

gam > sell <4376 makar > your brethren <0251 >ach > ?  or shall

they be sold <4376 makar > unto us ?  Then held <2790 charash >

they their peace <2790 charash > ,  and found <4672 matsa> >

nothing <3808 lo> >  [ to answer <1696 dabar > ]  .

 : 09 Also I said <0559 >amar > ,  It  [ is ]  not good <2896

towb > that ye do <6213 <asah > : ought ye not to walk <3212

yalak > in the fear <3374 yir>ah > of our God <0430 >elohiym >

because of the reproach <2781 cherpah > of the heathen <1471

gowy > our enemies <0341 >oyeb > ?

 : 10 I likewise <1571 gam > ,   [ and ]  my brethren <0251 >ach

of them money <3701 keceph > and corn <1715 dagan > : I pray

<4994 na> > you ,  let us leave <5800 <azab > off this <2088 zeh

 : 11 Restore <7725 shuwb > ,  I pray <4994 na> > you ,  to them

,  even this day <3117 yowm > ,  their lands <7704 sadeh > ,  

their vineyards <3754 kerem > ,  their oliveyards <2132 zayith >

,  and their houses <1004 bayith > ,  also the hundredth <3967

me>ah >  [ part ]  of the money <3701 keceph > ,  and of the

corn <1715 dagan > ,  the wine <8492 tiyrowsh > ,  and the oil

<3323 yitshar > ,  that ye exact <5383 nashah > of them .

 : 12 Then said <0559 >amar > they ,  We will restore <7725

shuwb >  [ them ]  ,  and will require <1245 baqash > nothing

<3808 lo> > of them ;  so <3651 ken > will we do <6213 <asah >

as thou sayest <0559 >amar > .  Then I called <7121 qara> > the

priests <3548 kohen > ,  and took an oath <7650 shaba< > of them

,  that they should do <6213 <asah > according to this <2088 zeh

 : 13 Also <1571 gam > I shook <5287 na<ar > my lap <2684

chotsen > ,  and said<0559 >amar > ,  So <3602 kakah > God <0430

>elohiym > shake <5287 na<ar > out every man <0376 >iysh > from

his house <1004 bayith > ,  and from his labour <3018 y@giya< > ,

  that performeth <6965 quwm > not this <2088 zeh > promise

<1697 dabar > ,  even <3602 kakah > thus <3602 kakah > be he

shaken <5287 na<ar > out ,  and emptied <7386 reyq > .  And all

<3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > said <0559 >amar > ,  

Amen <0543 >amen > ,  and praised <1984 halal > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > .  And the people <5971 <am > did <6213 <asah >

according to this <2088 zeh > promise <1697 dabar > .

 : 14 .  Moreover <1571 gam > from the time <3117 yowm > that I

was appointed <6680 tsavah > to be their governor <6346 pechah >

in the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  from the

twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh > even unto the two

<8147 sh@nayim > and thirtieth <7970 sh@lowshiym > year <8141

shaneh > of Artaxerxes <0783 >Artachshashta> > the king <4428

melek > ,   [ that is ]  ,  twelve years <8141 shaneh > ,  I and

my brethren <0251 >ach > have not eaten <0398 >akal > the bread

<3899 lechem > of the governor <6346 pechah > .

 : 15 But the former <7223 ri>shown > governors <6346 pechah >

that  [ had been ]  before <6440 paniym > me were chargeable

<3513 kabad > unto the people <5971 <am > ,  and had taken <3947

laqach > of them bread <3899 lechem > and wine <3196 yayin > ,  

beside <0310 >achar > forty <0705 >arba<iym > shekels <8255

sheqel > of silver <3701 keceph > ;  yea <1571 gam > ,  even

their servants <5288 na<ar > bare <7980 shalat > rule <7980

shalat > over <5921 <al > the people <5971 <am > : but so <3651

ken > did <6213 <asah > not I ,  because <6440 paniym > of the

fear <3374 yir>ah > of God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 16 Yea <1571 gam > ,  also <1571 gam > I continued <2388

chazaq > in the work <4399 m@la>kah > of this <2063 zo>th > wall

<2346 chowmah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > bought <7069 qanah > we

any land <7704 sadeh > : and all <3605 kol > my servants <5288

na<ar >  [ were ]  gathered <6908 qabats > thither <8033 sham >

unto the work <4399 m@la>kah > .

 : 17 Moreover  [ there were ]  at <5921 <al > my table <7979

shulchan > an hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym

beside those that came <0935 bow> > unto us from among <4480 min

 : 18 Now  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher > was prepared <6213

<asah >  [ for me ]  daily  [ was ]  one <0259 >echad > ox <7794

showr >  [ and ]  six <8337 shesh > choice <1305 barar > sheep

<6629 tso>n > ;  also fowls <6833 tsippowr > were prepared <6213

<asah > for me ,  and once <0996 beyn > in ten <6235 <eser >

days <3117 yowm > store <7235 rabah > of all <3605 kol > sorts

of wine <3196 yayin > : yet for all <5973 <im > this <2088 zeh >

required <1245 baqash > not I the bread <3899 lechem > of the

governor <6346 pechah > ,  because <3588 kiy > the bondage <5656

<abodah > was heavy <3513 kabad > upon this <2088 zeh > people

<5971 <am > .

 : 19 Think <2142 zakar > upon me ,  my God <0430 >elohiym > ,  

for good <2896 towb > ,   [ according ]  to all <3605 kol > that

I have done <6213 <asah > for this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am

 : Nehemiah 6

 : 01 .  Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <0834 >aher >

Sanballat <5571 Canballat > ,  and Tobiah <2900 Towbiyah > ,  

and Geshem <1654 Geshem > the Arabian <6163 <Arabiy > ,  and the

rest <3499 yether > of our enemies <0341 >oyeb > ,  heard <8085

shama< > that I had builded <1129 banah > the wall <2346 chowmah

time <6256 <eth > I had not set <5975 <amad > up the doors <1817

deleth > upon the gates <8179 sha<ar > ;  )

 : 02 That Sanballat <5571 Canballat > and Geshem <1654 Geshem >

sent <7971 shalach > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Come

<3212 yalak > ,  let us meet <3259 ya<ad > together <3162 yachad

> in  [ some one of ]  the villages <3715 k@phiyr > in the plain

<1237 biq<ah > of Ono <0207 >Ownow > .  But they thought <2803

chashab > to do <6213 <asah > me mischief <7451 ra< > .

 : 03 And I sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > unto

them ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  I  [ am ]  doing <6213 <asah > a

great <1419 gadowl > work <4399 m@la>kah > ,  so that I cannot

<0369 >ayin > come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > : why <4100

mah > should the work <4399 m@la>kah > cease <7673 shabath > ,  

whilst <0834 >aher > I leave <7503 raphah > it ,  and come <3381

yarad > down <3381 yarad > to you ?

 : 04 Yet they sent <7971 shalach > unto me four <0702 >arba< >

times <6471 pa<am > after this <2088 zeh > sort <1697 dabar > ;  

and I answered <7725 shuwb > them after the same <2088 zeh >

manner <1697 dabar > .

 : 05 Then sent <7971 shalach > Sanballat <5571 Canballat > his

servant <5650 <ebed > unto me in like <2088 zeh > manner <1697

dabar > the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > time <6471 pa<am > with an

open <6605 pathach > letter <0107 >iggereth > in his hand <3027

yad > ;

 : 06 Wherein  [ was ]  written <3789 kathab > ,  It is reported

<8085 shama< > among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  and Gashmu

<1654 Geshem > saith <0559 >amar >  [ it ,  that ]  thou and the

Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > think <2803 chashab > to rebel <4775 marad

wall <2346 chowmah > ,  that thou mayest be their king <4428

melek > ,  according to these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697

dabar > .

 : 07 And thou hast also <1571 gam > appointed <5975 <amad >

prophets <5030 nabiy> > to preach <7121 qara> > of thee at

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,   [

There is ]  a king <4428 melek > in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > : and

now <6258 <attah > shall it be reported <8085 shama< > to the

king <4428 melek > according to these <0428 >el - leh > words

<1697 dabar > .  Come <3212 yalak > now <6258 <attah > therefore

,  and let us take counsel <3289 ya<ats > together <3162 yachad

 : 08 Then I sent <7971 shalach > unto him ,  saying <0559 >amar

> ,  There are no <3808 lo> > such <0428 >el - leh > things

<1697 dabar > done as thou sayest <0559 >amar > ,  but thou

feignest <0908 bada> > them out of thine own heart <3820 leb > .

 : 09 For they all <3605 kol > made us afraid <3372 yare> > ,  

saying <0559 >amar > ,  Their hands <3027 yad > shall be

weakened <7503 raphah > from the work <4399 m@la>kah > ,  that

it be not done <6213 <asah > .  Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  

[ O God ]  ,  strengthen <2388 chazaq > my hands <3027 yad > .

 : 10 .  Afterward I came <0935 bow> > unto the house <1004

bayith > of Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the son <1121 ben > of

Delaiah <1806 D@layah > the son <1121 ben > of Mehetabeel <4105

M@heytab>el > ,  who <1931 huw> >  [ was ]  shut <6113 <atsar >

up ;  and he said <0559 >amar > ,  Let us meet <3259 ya<ad >

together in the house <1004 bayith > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  

within <8432 tavek > the temple <1964 heykal > ,  and let us

shut <5462 cagar > the doors <1817 deleth > of the temple <1964

heykal > : for they will come <0935 bow> > to slay <2026 harag >

thee ;  yea ,  in the night <3915 layil > will they come <0935

bow> > to slay <2026 harag > thee .

 : 11 And I said <0559 >amar > ,  Should such <3644 k@mow > a

man <0376 >iysh > as I flee <1272 barach > ?  and who <4310 miy

>  [ is there ]  ,  that ,   [ being ]  as I  [ am ]  ,  would

go <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the temple <1964 heykal > to

save <2425 chayay > his life <2425 chayay > ?  I will not go

<0935 bow> > in .

 : 12 And ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  I perceived <5234 nakar > that

God <0430 >elohiym > had not sent <7971 shalach > him ;  but

that he pronounced <1696 dabar > this prophecy <5016 n@buw>ah >

against <5921 <al > me : for Tobiah <2900 Towbiyah > and

Sanballat <5571 Canballat > had hired <7936 sakar > him .

 : 13 Therefore  [ was ]  he hired <7936 sakar > ,  that I

should be afraid <3372 yare> > ,  and do <6213 <asah > so <3651

ken > ,  and sin <2398 chata> > ,  and  [ that ]  they might

have  [ matter ]  for an evil <7451 ra< > report <8034 shem > ,  

that they might reproach <2778 charaph .  > me .

 : 14 My God <0430 >elohiym > ,  think <2142 zakar > thou upon

Tobiah <2900 Towbiyah > and Sanballat <5571 Canballat >

according to these <0428 >el - leh > their works <4639 ma<aseh >

,  and on the prophetess <5031 n@biy>ah > Noadiah <5129

Now<adyah > ,  and the rest <3499 yether > of the prophets <5030

nabiy> > ,  that would have put me in fear <3372 yare> > .

 : 15 .  So the wall <2346 chowmah > was finished <7999 shalam >

in the twenty <6242 <esriym > and fifth <2568 chamesh >  [ day ]

 of  [ the month ]  Elul <0435 >Eluwl > ,  in fifty <2572

chamishshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > days <3117 yowm > .

 : 16 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  that when <0834 >aher

> all <3605 kol > our enemies <0341 >oyeb > heard <8085 shama< >

 [ thereof ]  ,  and all <3605 kol > the heathen <1471 gowy >

that  [ were ]  about us saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ these things ]  ,  

they were much <3966 m@<od > cast <5307 naphal > down <5307

naphal > in their own eyes <5869 <ayin > : for they perceived

<3045 yada< > that this <2063 zo>th > work <4399 m@la>kah > was

wrought <6213 <asah > of our God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 17 Moreover <1571 gam > in those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm

> the nobles <2715 chor > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > sent <1980

halak > many <7235 rabah > letters <0107 >iggereth > unto Tobiah

<2900 Towbiyah > ,  and  [ the letters ]  of Tobiah <2900

Towbiyah > came <0935 bow> > unto them .

 : 18 For  [ there were ]  many <7227 rab > in Judah <3063

Y@huwdah > sworn unto him ,  because <3588 kiy > he  [ was ]  

the son <2860 chathan > in law <2859 chathan > of Shechaniah

<7935 Sh@kanyah > the son <1121 ben > of Arah <0733 >Arach > ;  

and his son <1121 ben > Johanan <3076 Y@howchanan > had taken

<3947 laqach > the daughter <1323 bath > of Meshullam <4918

M@shullam > the son <1121 ben > of Berechiah <1296 Berekyah > .

 : 19 Also <1571 gam > they reported <0559 >amar > his good

<2896 towb > deeds before <6440 paniym > me ,  and uttered <3318

yatsa> > my words <1697 dabar > to him .   [ And ]  Tobiah <2900

Towbiyah > sent <7971 shalach > letters <0107 >iggereth > to put

me in fear <3372 yare> > .

 : Nehemiah 7

 : 01 .  Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <0834 >aher >

the wall <2346 chowmah > was built <1129 banah > ,  and I had

set <5975 <amad > up the doors <1817 deleth > ,  and the porters

<7778 show<er > and the singers <7891 shiyr > and the Levites

<3881 Leviyiy > were appointed <6485 paqad > ,

 : 02 That I gave my brother <0251 >ach > Hanani <2607 Chananiy

palace <1002 biyrah > ,  charge <6680 tsavah > over <5921 <al >

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : for he  [ was ]  a faithful

<0571 >emeth > man <0376 >iysh > ,  and feared <3372 yare> > God

<0430 >elohiym > above many <7227 rab > .

 : 03 And I said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Let not the gates

<8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > be opened <6605

pathach > until <5704 <ad > the sun <8121 shemesh > be hot <2527

chom > ;  and while <5704 <ad > they stand <5975 <amad > by ,  

let them shut <1479 guwph > the doors <1817 deleth > ,  and bar

<0270 >achaz >  [ them ]  : and appoint <5975 <amad > watches

<4931 mishmereth > of the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  every <0376 >iysh > one <0376

one <0376 >iysh >  [ to be ]  over <5048 neged > against <5048

neged > his house <1004 bayith > .

 : 04 Now the city <5892 <iyr >  [ was ]  large and great <1419

gadowl > : but the people <5971 <am >  [ were ]  few <4592 m@<at

.

 : 05 .  And my God <0430 >elohiym > put <5414 nathan > into

<0413 >el > mine heart <3820 leb > to gather <6908 qabats >

together the nobles <2715 chor > ,  and the rulers <5461 cagan >

,  and the people <5971 <am > ,  that they might be reckoned

<3187 yachas > by genealogy <3188 yachas > .  And I found <4672

matsa> > a register <5612 cepher > of the genealogy <3188 yachas

  for the joy <2304 chedvah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is

your strength <4581 ma<owz > .

 : 11 So the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > stilled <2814 chashah > all

<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  

Hold <2013 hacah > your peace <2013 hacah > ,  for the day <3117

 : 12 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > went <3212

yalak > their way <1870 derek > to eat <0398 >akal > ,  and to

drink <8354 shathah > ,  and to send <7971 shalach > portions

<4490 manah > ,  and to make <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl >

mirth <8057 simchah > ,  because <3588 kiy > they had understood

<0995 biyn > the words <1697 dabar > that were declared <3045

yada< > unto them .

 : 13 .  And on the second <8145 sheniy > day <3117 yowm > were

gathered <0622 >acaph > together the chief <7218 ro>sh > of the

fathers <1> of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  the

Ezra <5830 <Ezra> > the scribe <5608 caphar > ,  even to

understand <7919 sakal > the words <1697 dabar > of the law

<8451 towrah > .

 : 14 And they found <4672 matsa> > written <3789 kathab > in

the law <8451 towrah > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > had commanded <6680 tsavah > by Moses <4872 Mosheh > ,

 that the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > should

 : 15 And that they should publish <8085 shama< > and proclaim

and in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  

Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto the mount <2022 har

booths <5521 cukkah > ,  as  [ it is ]  written <3789 kathab > .

 : 16 So the people <5971 <am > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

 : 17 And all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > of them

that were come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > out of the

captivity <7628 sh@biy > made <6213 <asah > booths <5521 cukkah

for since the days <3117 yowm > of Jeshua <3442 Yeshuwa< > the

son <1121 ben > of Nun <5126 Nuwn > unto that day <3117 yowm >

had not the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > done

<6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > .  And there was very <3966 m@<od >

great <1419 gadowl > gladness <8057 simchah > .

 : 18 Also day <3117 yowm > by day <3117 yowm > ,  from the

seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > ;  and on the eighth

<8066 sh@miyniy > day <3117 yowm >  [ was ]  a solemn <6116

<atsarah > assembly <6116 <atsarah > ,  according unto the

manner <4941 mishpat > .

 : Nehemiah 9

 : 01 .  Now in the twenty <6242 <esriym > and fourth <0702

>arba< > day <3117 yowm > of this <2088 zeh > month <2320

chodesh > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

were assembled <0622 >acaph > with fasting <6685 tsowm > ,  and

with sackclothes <8242 saq > ,  and earth <0127 >adamah > upon

them .

 : 02 And the seed <2233 zera< > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

separated <0914 badal > themselves from all <3605 kol >

strangers ,  and stood <5975 <amad > and confessed <3034 yadah >

their sins <2403 chatta>ah > ,  and the iniquities <5771 <avon >

of their fathers <1> .

 : 03 And they stood <6965 quwm > up in their place <5977 <omed

they confessed <3034 yadah > ,  and worshipped <7812 shachah >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 04 .  Then stood <6965 quwm > up upon the stairs <4608

Sherebiah <8274 Sherebyah > ,  Bani <1137 Baniy > ,   [ and ]  

Chenani <3662 K@naniy > ,  and cried <2199 za<aq > with a loud

their God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 05 Then the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > ,  Jeshua <3442 Yeshuwa<

Hashabniah <2813 Chashabn@yah > ,  Sherebiah <8274 Sherebyah > ,

 Hodijah <1940 Howdiyah > ,  Shebaniah <7645 Sh@banyah > ,   [

Stand <6965 quwm > up  [ and ]  bless <1288 barak > the LORD

B@rakah > and praise <8416 t@hillah > .

 : 06 Thou ,   [ even ]  thou ,   [ art ]  LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

alone <0905 bad > ;  thou hast made <6213 <asah > heaven <8064

shamayim > ,  the heaven <8064 shamayim > of heavens <8064

 : 07 Thou  [ art ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > the God <0430

Abram <87> ,  and broughtest <3318 yatsa> > him forth <3318

yatsa> > out of Ur <0218 >Uwr > of the Chaldees <3778 Kasdiy > ,

 and gavest <7760 suwm > him the name <8034 shem > of Abraham

<85> ;

 : 08 And foundest <4372 mikceh > his heart <3824 lebab >

faithful <0539 >aman > before <6440 paniym > thee ,  and madest

<3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with him to give <5414

nathan > the land <0776 >erets > of the Canaanites <3669

K@na<aniy > ,  the Hittites <2850 Chittiy > ,  the Amorites

the Jebusites <2983 Yebuwciy > ,  and the Girgashites <1622

Girgashiy > ,  to give <5414 nathan >  [ it ,  I say ]  ,  to

his seed <2233 zera< > ,  and hast performed <6965 quwm > thy

words <1697 dabar > ;  for thou  [ art ]  righteous <6662

tsaddiyq > :

 : 09 And didst see <7200 ra>ah > the affliction <6040 <oniy >

of our fathers <1> in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and heardest

<8085 shama< > their cry <2201 za<aq > by the Red <5488 cuwph >

sea <3220 yam > ;

 : 10 And shewedst <5414 nathan > signs <0226 >owth > and

wonders <4159 mowpheth > upon Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > ,  and on

all <3605 kol > his servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and on all <3605

thou knewest <3045 yada< > that they dealt proudly <2102 zuwd >

against <5921 <al > them .  So didst thou get <6213 <asah > thee

a name <8034 shem > ,  as  [ it is ]  this <2088 zeh > day <3117

yowm > .

 : 11 And thou didst divide <1234 baqa< > the sea <3220 yam >

before <6440 paniym > them ,  so that they went <5674 <abar >

through <8432 tavek > the midst <8432 tavek > of the sea <3220

yam > on the dry <3004 yabbashah > land ;  and their persecutors

<7291 radaph > thou threwest <7993 shalak > into the deeps <4688

m@tsowlah > ,  as a stone <68> into the mighty <5794 <az >

waters <4325 mayim > .

 : 12 Moreover thou leddest <5148 nachah > them in the day <3119

yowmam > by a cloudy <6051 <anan > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > ;  and

in the night <3915 layil > by a pillar <5982 <ammuwd > of fire

<0784 >esh > ,  to give them light <0216 >owr > in the way <1870

derek > wherein <0834 >aher > they should go <3212 yalak > .

 : 13 Thou camest <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > also upon

mount <2022 har > Sinai <5514 Ciynay > ,  and spakest <1696

dabar > with them from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and gavest

<5414 nathan > them right <3477 yashar > judgments <4941 mishpat

towb > statutes <2706 choq > and commandments <4687 mitsvah > :

 : 14 And madest <3045 yada< > known <3045 yada< > unto them thy

holy <6944 qodesh > sabbath <7676 shabbath > ,  and commandedst

<6680 tsavah > them precepts <4687 mitsvah > ,  statutes <2706

choq > ,  and laws <8451 towrah > ,  by the hand <3027 yad > of

Moses <4872 Mosheh > thy servant <5650 <ebed > :

 : 15 And gavest <5414 nathan > them bread <3899 lechem > from

heaven <8064 shamayim > for their hunger <7457 ra<eb > ,  and

broughtest <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > water <4325 mayim

tsama> > ,  and promisedst <0559 >amar > them that they should

go <0935 bow> > in to possess <3423 yarash > the land <0776

>erets > which <0834 >aher > thou hadst sworn <5375 nasa> > to

give <5414 nathan > them .

 : 16 But they and our fathers <1> dealt proudly <2102 zuwd > ,  

and hardened <7185 qashah > their necks <6203 <oreph > ,  and

hearkened <8085 shama< > not to thy commandments <4687 mitsvah >

,

 : 17 And refused <3985 ma>en > to obey <8085 shama< > ,  

neither <3808 lo> > were mindful <2142 zakar > of thy wonders

<6381 pala> > that thou didst <6213 <asah > among <5973 <im >

them ;  but hardened <7185 qashah > their necks <6203 <oreph > ,

 and in their rebellion <4805 m@riy > appointed <5414 nathan > a

captain <7218 ro>sh > to return <7725 shuwb > to their bondage

<5659 <abduwth > : but thou  [ art ]  a God <0430 >elohiym >

ready to pardon <5547 c@liychah > ,  gracious <2587 channuwn >

and merciful <7349 rachuwm > ,  slow <0750 >arek > to anger

<0639 >aph > ,  and of great <7227 rab > kindness <2617 checed >

,  and forsookest <5800 <azab > them not .

 : 18 Yea <0637 >aph > ,  when <3588 kiy > they had made <6213

<asah > them a molten <4541 maccekah > calf <5695 <egel > ,  and

said <0559 >amar > ,  This <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  thy God <0430

>elohiym > that brought <5927 <alah > thee up out of Egypt <4714

Mitsrayim > ,  and had wrought <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl

 : 19 Yet thou in thy manifold <7227 rab > mercies <7356 racham

midbar > : the pillar <5982 <ammuwd > of the cloud <6051 <anan >

departed <5493 cuwr > not from them by day <3119 yowmam > ,  to

lead <5148 nachah > them in the way <1870 derek > ;  neither the

pillar <5982 <ammuwd > of fire <0784 >esh > by night <3915 layil

 : 20 Thou gavest <5414 nathan > also thy good <2896 towb >

spirit <7307 ruwach > to instruct <7919 sakal > them ,  and

withheldest <4513 mana< > not thy manna <4478 man > from their

mouth <6310 peh > ,  and gavest <5414 nathan > them water <4325

mayim > for their thirst <6772 tsama> > .

 : 21 Yea ,  forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > didst

thou sustain <3557 kuwl > them in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,

   [ so that ]  they lacked <2637 chacer > nothing <3808 lo> > ;

 their clothes <8008 salmah > waxed not old <1086 balah > ,  and

their feet <7272 regel > swelled <1216 batseq > not .

 : 22 Moreover thou gavest <5414 nathan > them kingdoms <4467

mamlakah > and nations <5971 <am > ,  and didst divide <2505

chalaq > them into corners <6285 pe>ah > : so they possessed

<3423 yarash > the land <0776 >erets > of Sihon <5511 Ciychown >

,  and the land <0776 >erets > of the king <4428 melek > of

Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown > ,  and the land <0776 >erets > of Og

<5747 <Owg > king <4428 melek > of Bashan <1316 Bashan > .

 : 23 Their children <1121 ben > also multipliedst <7235 rabah >

thou as the stars <3556 kowkab > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  

and broughtest <0935 bow> > them into <0413 >el > the land <0776

>erets > ,  concerning which <0834 >aher > thou hadst promised

<0559 >amar > to their fathers <1> ,  that they should go <0935

bow> > in to possess <3423 yarash >  [ it ]  .

 : 24 So the children <1121 ben > went <0935 bow> > in and

possessed <3423 yarash > the land <0776 >erets > ,  and thou

subduedst <3665 kana< > before <6440 paniym > them the

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > ,  the

Canaanites <3669 K@na<aniy > ,  and gavest <5414 nathan > them

into their hands <3027 yad > ,  with their kings <4428 melek > ,

 and the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets > ,  that

they might do <6213 <asah > with them as they would .

 : 25 And they took <3920 lakad > strong <1219 batsar > cities

<5892 <iyr > ,  and a fat <8082 shamen > land <0127 >adamah > ,  

and possessed <3423 yarash > houses <1004 bayith > full <4392

male> > of all <3605 kol > goods <2898 tuwb > ,  wells <0953

bowr > digged <2672 chatsab > ,  vineyards <3754 kerem > ,  and

oliveyards <2132 zayith > ,  and fruit <3978 ma>akal > trees

<6086 <ets > in abundance <7230 rob > : so they did eat <0398

>akal > ,  and were filled <7646 saba< > ,  and became <8080

shaman > fat <8082 shamen > ,  and delighted <5727 <adan >

themselves in thy great <1419 gadowl > goodness <2898 tuwb > .

 : 26 Nevertheless they were disobedient <4784 marah > ,  and

rebelled <4775 marad > against thee ,  and cast <7993 shalak >

thy law <8451 towrah > behind <0310 >achar > their backs <1458

gav > ,  and slew <2026 harag > thy prophets <5030 nabiy> >

which <0834 >aher > testified <5749 <uwd > against them to turn

<7725 shuwb > them to thee ,  and they wrought <6213 <asah >

great <1419 gadowl > provocations <5007 n@>atsah > .

 : 27 Therefore thou deliveredst <5414 nathan > them into the

hand <3027 yad > of their enemies <6862 tsar > ,  who vexed

<6887 tsarar > them : and in the time <6256 <eth > of their

trouble <6869 tsarah > ,  when they cried <6817 tsa<aq > unto

thee ,  thou heardest <8085 shama< >  [ them ]  from heaven

<8064 shamayim > ;  and according to thy manifold <7227 rab >

mercies <7356 racham > thou gavest <5414 nathan > them saviours

<3467 yasha< > ,  who saved <3467 yasha< > them out of the hand

<3027 yad > of their enemies <6862 tsar > .

 : 28 But after they had rest <5117 nuwach > ,  they did <6213

<asah > evil <7451 ra< > again <7725 shuwb > before <6440 paniym

of their enemies <0341 >oyeb > ,  so that they had the dominion

<7287 radah > over them : yet when they returned <7725 shuwb > ,

 and cried <2199 za<aq > unto thee ,  thou heardest <8085 shama<

according to thy mercies <7356 racham > ;

 : 29 And testifiedst <5749 <uwd > against them ,  that thou

mightest bring <7725 shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb > unto thy

law <8451 towrah > : yet they dealt proudly <2102 zuwd > ,  and

hearkened <8085 shama< > not unto thy commandments <4687 mitsvah

mishpat > ,   ( which if a man <0120 >adam > do <6213 <asah > ,  

he shall live <2421 chayah > in them ;  )  and withdrew the

shoulder <3802 katheph > ,  and hardened <7185 qashah > their

neck <6203 <oreph > ,  and would not hear <8085 shama< > .

 : 30 Yet many <7227 rab > years <8141 shaneh > didst thou

forbear <4900 mashak > them ,  and testifiedst <5749 <uwd >

against them by thy spirit <7307 ruwach > in thy prophets <5030

nabiy> > : yet would they not give ear <0238 >azan > : therefore

gavest <5414 nathan > thou them into the hand <3027 yad > of the

people <5971 <am > of the lands <0776 >erets > .

 : 31 Nevertheless for thy great <7227 rab > mercies <7356

racham >  sake thou didst not utterly consume <3615 kalah > them

,  nor <3808 lo> > forsake <5800 <azab > them ;  for thou  [ art

]  a gracious <2587 channuwn > and merciful <7349 rachuwm > God

<0410 >el > .

 : 32 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  our God <0430 >elohiym > ,

 the great <1419 gadowl > ,  the mighty <1368 gibbowr > ,  and

the terrible <3372 yare> > God <0410 >el > ,  who keepest <8104

shamar > covenant <1285 b@riyth > and mercy <2617 checed > ,  

let not all <3605 kol > the trouble <8513 t@la>ah > seem <4591

ma<at > little <4591 ma<at > before <6440 paniym > thee ,  that

hath come <4672 matsa> > upon us ,  on our kings <4428 melek > ,

kohen > and for the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > that waited <5975

<amad > .

 : 45 And both the singers <7891 shiyr > and the porters <7778

show<er > kept <8104 shamar > the ward <4931 mishmereth > of

their God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and the ward <4931 mishmereth > of

the purification <2893 tohorah > ,  according to the commandment

<4687 mitsvah > of David <1732 David > ,   [ and ]  of Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > his son <1121 ben > .

 : 46 For in the days <3117 yowm > of David <1732 David > and

Asaph <0623 >Acaph > of old <6924 qedem >  [ there were ]  chief

<7218 ro>sh > of the singers <7891 shiyr > ,  and songs <7892

shiyr > of praise <8416 t@hillah > and thanksgiving unto God

<0430 >elohiym > .

 : 47 And all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the days

<3117 yowm > of Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > ,  and in the days

<3117 yowm > of Nehemiah <5166 N@chemyah > ,  gave <5414 nathan

> the portions <4521 m@nath > of the singers <7891 shiyr > and

the porters <7778 show<er > ,  every day <3117 yowm > his

portion <1697 dabar > : and they sanctified <6942 qadash >  [

holy things ]  unto the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > ;  and the

Levites <3881 Leviyiy > sanctified <6942 qadash >  [ them ]  

unto the children <1121 ben > of Aaron <0175 >Aharown > .

 : Nehemiah 13

 : 01 .  On that day <3117 yowm > they read <7121 qara> > in the

book <5612 cepher > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > in the audience

<0241 >ozen > of the people <5971 <am > ;  and therein was found

<4672 matsa> > written <3789 kathab > ,  that the Ammonite <5984

<Ammowniy > and the Moabite <4125 Mow>abiy > should not come

<0935 bow> > into the congregation <6951 qahal > of God <0430

>elohiym > for ever <5769 <owlam > ;

 : 02 Because <3588 kiy > they met <6923 qadam > not the

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > with bread <3899

lechem > and with water <4325 mayim > ,  but hired <7936 sakar >

Balaam <1109 Bil<am > against <5921 <al > them ,  that he should

curse <7043 qalal > them : howbeit our God <0430 >elohiym >

turned <2015 haphak > the curse <7045 q@lalah > into a blessing

<1293 B@rakah > .

 : 03 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when they had heard

<8085 shama< > the law <8451 towrah > ,  that they separated

<0914 badal > from Israel <3478 Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > the

mixed <6154 <ereb > multitude <6154 <ereb > .

 : 04 And before <6440 paniym > this <2088 zeh > ,  Eliashib

<0475 >Elyashiyb > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  having the

oversight <5414 nathan > of the chamber <3957 lishkah > of the

house <1004 bayith > of our God <0430 >elohiym > ,   [ was ]  

allied <7138 qarowb > unto Tobiah <2900 Towbiyah > :

 : 05 And he had prepared <6213 <asah > for him a great <1419

gadowl > chamber <3957 lishkah > ,  where <8033 sham > aforetime

<6440 paniym > they laid <5414 nathan > the meat offerings <4503

minchah > ,  the frankincense <3828 l@bownah > ,  and the

vessels <3627 k@liy > ,  and the tithes <4643 ma<aser > of the

corn <1715 dagan > ,  the new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine <8492

tiyrowsh > ,  and the oil <3323 yitshar > ,  which was commanded

<4687 mitsvah >  [ to be given ]  to the Levites <3881 Leviyiy >

,  and the singers <7891 shiyr > ,  and the porters <7778

show<er > ;  and the offerings <4503 minchah > of the priests

<3548 kohen > .

 : 06 But in all <3605 kol > this <2088 zeh >  [ time ]  was not

I at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : for in the two <8147

sh@nayim > and thirtieth <7970 sh@lowshiym > year <8141 shaneh >

of Artaxerxes <0783 >Artachshashta> > king <4428 melek > of

Babylon <0894 Babel > came <0935 bow> > I unto the king <4428

melek > ,  and after <7093 qets > certain days <3117 yowm >

obtained <7592 sha>al > I leave <7592 sha>al > of the king <4428

melek > :

 : 07 And I came <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,

  and understood <0995 biyn > of the evil <7451 ra< > that

Eliashib <0475 >Elyashiyb > did <6213 <asah > for Tobiah <2900

Towbiyah > ,  in preparing <6213 <asah > him a chamber <5393

nishkah > in the courts <2691 chatser > of the house <1004

bayith > of God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 08 And it grieved <7489 ra<a< > me sore <3966 m@<od > :

therefore I cast <7903 sh@kobeth > forth all <3605 kol > the

household <1004 bayith > stuff <3627 k@liy > of Tobiah <2900

Towbiyah > out of the chamber <3957 lishkah > .

 : 09 Then I commanded <0559 >amar > ,  and they cleansed <2891

taher > the chambers <3957 lishkah > : and thither <8033 sham >

brought <7725 shuwb > I again <7725 shuwb > the vessels <3627

k@liy > of the house <1004 bayith > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  

with the meat offering <4503 minchah > and the frankincense

<3828 l@bownah > .

 : 10 .  And I perceived <3045 yada< > that the portions <4521

m@nath > of the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > had not been given <5414

nathan >  [ them ]  : for the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > and the

singers <7891 shiyr > ,  that did <6213 <asah > the work <4399

m@la>kah > ,  were fled <1272 barach > every <0376 >iysh > one

<0376 >iysh > to his field <7704 sadeh > .

 : 11 Then contended <7378 riyb > I with the rulers <5461 cagan

<1004 bayith > of God <0430 >elohiym > forsaken <5800 <azab > ?  

And I gathered <6908 qabats > them together ,  and set <5975

<amad > them in their place <5977 <omed > .

 : 12 Then brought <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol > Judah <3063

Y@huwdah > the tithe <4643 ma<aser > of the corn <1715 dagan >

and the new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine <8492 tiyrowsh > and the oil

<3323 yitshar > unto the treasuries <0214 >owtsar > .

 : 13 And I made treasurers <0686 >atsar > over <5921 <al > the

treasuries <0214 >owtsar > ,  Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah > the

priest <3548 kohen > ,  and Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the scribe

<5608 caphar > ,  and of the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > ,  Pedaiah

<6305 P@dayah > : and next to them  [ was ]  Hanan <2605 Chanan

> the son <1121 ben > of Zaccur <2139 Zakkuwr > ,  the son <1121

ben > of Mattaniah <4983 Mattanyah > : for they were counted

<2803 chashab > faithful <0539 >aman > ,  and their office  [

was ]  to distribute <2505 chalaq > unto their brethren <0251

>ach > .

 : 14 Remember <2142 zakar > me ,  O my God <0430 >elohiym > ,  

concerning <5921 <al > this <2088 zeh > ,  and wipe <4229 machah

> not out my good <2617 checed > deeds that I have done <6213

<asah > for the house <1004 bayith > of my God <0430 >elohiym > ,

  and for the offices <4929 mishmar > thereof .

 : 15 .  In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > saw <7200 ra>ah

> I in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >  [ some ]  treading <1869 darak >

wine presses on the sabbath <7676 shabbath > ,  and bringing

<0935 bow> > in sheaves <6194 <arem > ,  and lading <6006 <amac

<3605 kol >  [ manner of ]  burdens <4853 massa> > ,  which they

brought <0935 bow> > into Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > on the

sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > : and I testified

<5749 <uwd >  [ against them ]  in the day <3117 yowm > wherein

they sold <4376 makar > victuals <6718 tsayid > .

 : 16 There dwelt <3427 yashab > men <0582 >enowsh > of Tyre

<6876 Tsoriy > also therein ,  which brought <0935 bow> > fish

<1709 dag > ,  and all <3605 kol > manner of ware <4377 meker > ,

  and sold <4376 makar > on the sabbath <7676 shabbath > unto

the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and in

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 17 Then I contended <7378 riyb > with the nobles <2715 chor >

of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  

What <4100 mah > evil <7451 ra< > thing <1697 dabar >  [ is ]  

this <2088 zeh > that ye do <6213 <asah > ,  and profane <2490

chalal > the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > ?

 : 18 Did <6213 <asah > not your fathers <1> thus <3541 koh > ,  

and did <6213 <asah > not our God <0430 >elohiym > bring <0935

bow> > all <3605 kol > this <2088 zeh > evil <7451 ra< > upon us

,  and upon this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ?  yet ye bring

<0935 bow> > more <3254 yacaph > wrath <2740 charown > upon

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > by profaning <2490 chalal > the sabbath

<7676 shabbath > .

 : 19 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  that when <0834 >aher

> the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >

began <6751 tsalal > to be dark <6751 tsalal > before <6440

paniym > the sabbath <7676 shabbath > ,  I commanded <0559 >amar

> that the gates <1817 deleth > should be shut <5462 cagar > ,  

and charged <0559 >amar > that they should not be opened <6605

pathach > till <5704 <ad > after <0310 >achar > the sabbath

<7676 shabbath > : and  [ some ]  of my servants <5288 na<ar >

set <5975 <amad > I at <5921 <al > the gates <8179 sha<ar > ,  

[ that ]  there should no <3808 lo> > burden <4853 massa> > be

brought <0935 bow> > in on the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day

<3117 yowm > .

 : 20 So the merchants <7402 rakal > and sellers <4376 makar >

of all <3605 kol > kind of ware <4465 mimkar > lodged <3885 luwn

> without <2351 chuwts > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > once

<6471 pa<am > or twice <8147 sh@nayim > .

 : 21 Then I testified <5749 <uwd > against them ,  and said

<0559 >amar > untothem ,  Why <4069 madduwa< > lodge <3885 luwn

shalach > hands <3027 yad > on you .  From that time <6256 <eth

sabbath <7676 shabbath > .

 : 22 And I commanded <0559 >amar > the Levites <3881 Leviyiy >

that theyshould cleanse <2891 taher > themselves ,  and  [ that

]  they should come <0935 bow> >  [ and ]  keep <8104 shamar >

the gates <8179 sha<ar > ,  to sanctify <6942 qadash > the

sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > .  Remember <2142

zakar > me ,  O my God <0430 >elohiym > ,   [ concerning ]  this

<2063 zo>th > also <1571 gam > ,  and spare <2347 chuwc > me

according to the greatness <7230 rob > of thy mercy <2617 checed

 : 23 .  In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > also <1571 gam >

saw <7200 ra>ah > I Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy >  [ that ]  had married

<3427 yashab > wives <0802 >ishshah > of Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd >

,  of Ammon <5983 <Ammown > ,   [ and ]  of Moab <4125 Mow>abiy

 : 24 And their children <1121 ben > spake <1696 dabar > half

<2677 chetsiy > in the speech <3066 Y@huwdiyth > of Ashdod <0795

>Ashdowd > ,  and could <5234 nakar > not speak <1696 dabar > in

the Jews <3066 Y@huwdiyth >  language ,  but according to the

language <3956 lashown > of each people <5971 <am > .

 : 25 And I contended <7378 riyb > with them ,  and cursed <7043

qalal > them ,  and smote <5221 nakah > certain <0582 >enowsh >

of them ,  and plucked <4803 marat > off their hair ,  and made

them swear <7650 shaba< > by God <0430 >elohiym > ,   [ saying ]

 ,  Ye shall not give <5414 nathan > your daughters <1121 ben >

unto their sons <1121 ben > ,  nor <0518 >im > take <5375 nasa>

for yourselves .

 : 26 Did not Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > king <4428 melek > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > sin <2398 chata> > by these things ?  

yet among many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > was there no

<3808 lo> > king <4428 melek > like <3644 k@mow > him ,  who was

beloved <0157 >ahab > of his God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and God

<0430 >elohiym > made <5414 nathan > him king <4428 melek > over

<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :

nevertheless <1571 gam > even him did outlandish <5237 nokriy >

women <0802 >ishshah > cause to sin <2398 chata> > .

 : 27 Shall we then hearken <8085 shama< > unto you to do <6213

<asah > all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > great <1419 gadowl >

evil <7451 ra< > ,  to transgress <4603 ma<al > against our God

<0430 >elohiym > in marrying <3427 yashab > strange <5237 nokriy

 : 28 And  [ one <0259 >echad > ]  of the sons <1121 ben > of

Joiada <3111 Yowyada< > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Eliashib <0475

>Elyashiyb > the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen > ,   [

was ]  son <2860 chathan > in law <2859 chathan > to Sanballat

<5571 Canballat > the Horonite <2772 Choroniy > : therefore I

chased <1272 barach > him from me .

 : 29 Remember <2142 zakar > them ,  O my God <0430 >elohiym > ,

 because <5921 <al > they have defiled <1351 ga>al > the

priesthood <3550 k@hunnah > ,  and the covenant <1285 b@riyth >

of the priesthood <3550 k@hunnah > ,  and of the Levites <3881

Leviyiy > .

 : 30 Thus cleansed <2891 taher > I them from all <3605 kol >

strangers <5236 nekar > ,  and appointed <5975 <amad > the wards

<4931 mishmereth > of the priests <3548 kohen > and the Levites

<3881 Leviyiy > ,  every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > in his

business <4399 m@la>kah > ;

 : 31 And for the wood <6086 <ets > offering <7133 qorban > ,  

at times <6256 <eth > appointed <2163 zaman > ,  and for the

firstfruits <1061 bikkuwr > .  Remember <2142 zakar > me ,  O my

God <0430 >elohiym > ,  for good <2896 towb > .
