Neh 01:01 ¶ 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>,

Neh 01:02  That Hanani <02607>, one <0259> of my brethren <0251>,

 came <0935> (8799), he and certain men <0582> of Judah <03063>;

and I asked <07592> (8799) them concerning the Jews <03064> that

had escaped <06413>, which were left <07604> (8738) of the

captivity <07628>, and concerning Jerusalem <03389>.

Neh 01:03  And they said <0559> (8799) unto me, The remnant

<07604> (8737) that are left <07604> (8738) 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> (8794), and the

gates <08179> thereof are burned <03341> (8738) with fire <0784>.

Neh 01:04  And it came to pass, when I heard <08085> (8800)

these words <01697>, that I sat down <03427> (8804) and wept

<01058> (8799), and mourned <056> (8691) certain days <03117>,

and fasted <06684> (8802), and prayed <06419> (8693) before

<06440> the God <0430> of heaven <08064>,

Neh 01:05 ¶ And said <0559> (8799), I beseech <0577> thee, O

LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven <08064>, the great <01419> and

terrible <03372> (8737) God <0410>, that keepeth <08104> (8802)

covenant <01285> and mercy <02617> for them that love <0157>

(8802) him and observe <08104> (8802) his commandments <04687>:

Neh 01:06  Let thine ear <0241> now be attentive <07183>, and

thine eyes <05869> open <06605> (8803), that thou mayest hear

<08085> (8800) the prayer <08605> of thy servant <05650>, which

I pray <06419> (8693) before <06440> thee now <03117>, day

<03119> and night <03915>, for the children <01121> of Israel

<03478> thy servants <05650>, and confess <03034> (8693) the

sins <02403> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, which we

have sinned <02398> (8804) against thee: both I and my father’s

<01> house <01004> have sinned <02398> (8804).

Neh 01:07  We have dealt very <02254> (8800) corruptly <02254>

(8804) against thee, and have not kept <08104> (8804) the

commandments <04687>, nor the statutes <02706>, nor the

judgments <04941>, which thou commandedst <06680> (8765) thy

servant <05650> Moses <04872>.

Neh 01:08  Remember <02142> (8798), I beseech thee, the word

<01697> that thou commandedst <06680> (8765) thy servant <05650>

Moses <04872>, saying <0559> (8800), If ye transgress <04603>

(8799), I will scatter you abroad <06327> (8686) among the

nations <05971>:

Neh 01:09  But if ye turn <07725> (8804) unto me, and keep

<08104> (8804) my commandments <04687>, and do <06213> (8804)

them; though there were of you cast out <05080> (8737) unto the

uttermost part <07097> of the heaven <08064>, yet will I gather

<06908> (8762) them from thence, and will bring <0935> (8689)

them unto the place <04725> that I have chosen <0977> (8804) to

set <07931> (8763) my name <08034> there.

Neh 01:10  Now these are thy servants <05650> and thy people

<05971>, whom thou hast redeemed <06299> (8804) by thy great

<01419> power <03581>, and by thy strong <02389> hand <03027>.

Neh 01:11  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> (8800) thy name

<08034>: and prosper <06743> (8685), I pray thee, thy servant

<05650> this day <03117>, and grant <05414> (8798) him mercy

<07356> in the sight <06440> of this man <0376>. For I was the

king’s <04428> cupbearer <08248> (8688).

Neh 02:01 ¶ 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> (8799) the wine <03196>, and gave

<05414> (8799) it unto the king <04428>. Now I had not been

beforetime sad <07451> in his presence <06440>.

Neh 02:02  Wherefore the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto me,

 Why is thy countenance <06440> sad <07451>, seeing thou art not

sick <02470> (8802)? this is nothing else but sorrow <07455> of

heart <03820>. Then I was very <03966> sore <07235> (8687)

afraid <03372> (8799),

Neh 02:03  And said <0559> (8799) unto the king <04428>, Let the

king <04428> live <02421> (8799) for ever <05769>: why should

not my countenance <06440> be sad <03415> (8799), when the city

<05892>, the place <01004> of my fathers <01>‘ sepulchres

<06913>, lieth waste <02720>, and the gates <08179> thereof are

consumed <0398> (8795) with fire <0784>?

Neh 02:04  Then the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto me, For

what dost thou make request <01245> (8764)? So I prayed <06419>

(8691) to the God <0430> of heaven <08064>.

Neh 02:05  And I said <0559> (8799) unto the king <04428>, If it

please <02895> (8804) the king <04428>, and if thy servant

<05650> have found favour <03190> (8799) in thy sight <06440>,

that thou wouldest send <07971> (8799) me unto Judah <03063>,

unto the city <05892> of my fathers <01>‘ sepulchres <06913>,

that I may build <01129> (8799) it.

Neh 02:06  And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto me, (the

queen <07694> also sitting <03427> (8802) by him <0681>,) For

how long shall thy journey <04109> be? and when wilt thou return

<07725> (8799)? So it pleased <03190> (8799) <06440> the king

<04428> to send <07971> (8799) me; and I set <05414> (8799) him

a time <02165>.

Neh 02:07  Moreover I said <0559> (8799) unto the king <04428>,

If it please <02895> (8804) the king <04428>, let letters <0107>

be given <05414> (8799) me to the governors <06346> beyond

<05676> the river <05104>, that they may convey me over <05674>

(8686) till I come <0935> (8799) into Judah <03063>;

Neh 02:08  And a letter <0107> unto Asaph <0623> the keeper

<08104> (8802) of the king’s <04428> forest <06508>, that he may

give <05414> (8799) me timber <06086> to make beams <07136>

(8763) 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> (8799). And the king <04428> granted <05414> (8799)

me, according to the good <02896> hand <03027> of my God <0430>

upon me.

Neh 02:09 ¶ Then I came <0935> (8799) to the governors <06346>

beyond <05676> the river <05104>, and gave <05414> (8799) them

the king’s <04428> letters <0107>. Now the king <04428> had sent

<07971> (8799) captains <08269> of the army <02428> and horsemen

<06571> with me.

Neh 02:10  When Sanballat <05571> the Horonite <02772>, and

Tobiah <02900> the servant <05650>, the Ammonite <05984>, heard

<08085> (8799) of it, it grieved <03415> (8799) them exceedingly

<07451> <01419> that there was come <0935> (8804) a man <0120>

to seek <01245> (8763) the welfare <02896> of the children

<01121> of Israel <03478>.

Neh 02:11  So I came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>, and was

there three <07969> days <03117>.

Neh 02:12  And I arose <06965> (8799) in the night <03915>, I

and some <04592> few <04592> men <0582> with me; neither told

<05046> (8689) I any man <0120> what my God <0430> had put

<05414> (8802) in my heart <03820> to do <06213> (8800) at

Jerusalem <03389>: neither was there any beast <0929> with me,

save the beast <0929> that I rode upon <07392> (8802).

Neh 02:13  And I went out <03318> (8799) by night <03915> by the

gate <08179> of the valley <01516>, even before <06440> the

dragon <08577> well <05869> (8677) <05886>, and to the dung

<0830> port <08179>, and viewed <07663> (8802) (8675) <07665>

(8799) the walls <02346> of Jerusalem <03389>, which were broken

down <06555> (8803), and the gates <08179> thereof were consumed

<0398> (8795) with fire <0784>.

Neh 02:14  Then I went on <05674> (8799) 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> (8800).

Neh 02:15  Then went I up <05927> (8802) in the night <03915> by

the brook <05158>, and viewed <07663> (8802) (8675) <07665>

(8799) the wall <02346>, and turned back <07725> (8799), and

entered <0935> (8799) by the gate <08179> of the valley <01516>,

and so returned <07725> (8799).

Neh 02:16  And the rulers <05461> knew <03045> (8804) not

whither I went <01980> (8804), or what I did <06213> (8802);

neither had I as yet <03651> told <05046> (8689) 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> (8802) the work <04399>.

Neh 02:17  Then said <0559> (8799) I unto them, Ye see <07200>

(8802) the distress <07451> that we are in, how Jerusalem

<03389> lieth waste <02720>, and the gates <08179> thereof are

burned <03341> (8738) with fire <0784>: come <03212> (8798), and

let us build up <01129> (8799) the wall <02346> of Jerusalem

<03389>, that we be no more a reproach <02781>.

Neh 02:18  Then I told <05046> (8686) 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> (8804)

unto me. And they said <0559> (8799), Let us rise up <06965>

(8799) and build <01129> (8804). So they strengthened <02388>

(8762) their hands <03027> for this good <02896> work.

Neh 02:19  But when Sanballat <05571> the Horonite <02772>, and

Tobiah <02900> the servant <05650>, the Ammonite <05984>, and

Geshem <01654> the Arabian <06163>, heard <08085> (8799) it,

they laughed us to scorn <03932> (8686), and despised <0959>

(8799) us, and said <0559> (8799), What is this thing <01697>

that ye do <06213> (8802)? will ye rebel <04775> (8802) against

the king <04428>?

Neh 02:20  Then answered <07725> (8686) <01697> I them, and said

<0559> (8799) unto them, The God <0430> of heaven <08064>, he

will prosper <06743> (8686) us; therefore we his servants

<05650> will arise <06965> (8799) and build <01129> (8804): but

ye have no portion <02506>, nor right <06666>, nor memorial

<02146>, in Jerusalem <03389>.

Neh 03:01 ¶ Then Eliashib <0475> the high <01419> priest <03548>

rose up <06965> (8799) with his brethren <0251> the priests

<03548>, and they builded <01129> (8799) the sheep <06629> gate

<08179>; they sanctified <06942> (8765) it, and set up <05975>

(8686) the doors <01817> of it; even unto the tower <04026> of

Meah <03968> they sanctified <06942> (8765) it, unto the tower

<04026> of Hananeel <02606>.

Neh 03:02  And next unto him <03027> builded <01129> (8804) the

men <0582> of Jericho <03405>. And next to them builded <01129>

(8804) Zaccur <02139> the son <01121> of Imri <0566>.

Neh 03:03  But the fish <01709> gate <08179> did the sons

<01121> of Hassenaah <05570> build <01129> (8804), who also laid

the beams <07136> (8765) thereof, and set up <05975> (8686) the

doors <01817> thereof, the locks <04514> thereof, and the bars

<01280> thereof.

Neh 03:04  And next unto them <03027> repaired <02388> (8689)

Meremoth <04822> the son <01121> of Urijah <0223>, the son

<01121> of Koz <06976>. And next unto them <03027> repaired

<02388> (8689) Meshullam <04918> the son <01121> of Berechiah

<01296>, the son <01121> of Meshezabeel <04898>. And next unto

them <03027> repaired <02388> (8689) Zadok <06659> the son

<01121> of Baana <01195>.

Neh 03:05  And next unto them <03027> the Tekoites <08621>

repaired <02388> (8689); but their nobles <0117> put <0935>

(8689) not their necks <06677> to the work <05656> of their Lord

<0113>.

Neh 03:06  Moreover the old <03465> gate <08179> repaired

<02388> (8689) Jehoiada <03111> the son <01121> of Paseah

<06454>, and Meshullam <04918> the son <01121> of Besodeiah

<01152>; they laid the beams <07136> (8765) thereof, and set up

<05975> (8686) the doors <01817> thereof, and the locks <04514>

thereof, and the bars <01280> thereof.

Neh 03:07  And next unto them <03027> repaired <02388> (8689)

Melatiah <04424> the Gibeonite <01393>, and Jadon <03036> the

Meronothite <04824>, the men <0582> of Gibeon <01391>, and of

Mizpah <04709>, unto the throne <03678> of the governor <06346>

on this side <05676> the river <05104>.

Neh 03:08  Next unto him <03027> repaired <02388> (8689) Uzziel

<05816> the son <01121> of Harhaiah <02736>, of the goldsmiths

<06884> (8802). Next unto him <03027> also repaired <02388>

(8689) Hananiah <02608> the son <01121> of one of the

apothecaries <07546>, and they fortified <05800> (8799)

Jerusalem <03389> unto the broad <07342> wall <02346>.

Neh 03:09  And next unto them <03027> repaired <02388> (8689)

Rephaiah <07509> the son <01121> of Hur <02354>, the ruler

<08269> of the half <02677> part <06418> of Jerusalem <03389>.

Neh 03:10  And next unto them <03027> repaired <02388> (8689)

Jedaiah <03042> the son <01121> of Harumaph <02739>, even over

against his house <01004>. And next unto him <03027> repaired

<02388> (8689) Hattush <02407> the son <01121> of Hashabniah

<02813>.

and Hashub <02815> the son <01121> of Pahathmoab <06355>,

(8686) the doors <01817> thereof, the locks <04514> thereof, and

the bars <01280> thereof, and a thousand <0505> cubits <0520> on

Neh 03:18  After <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) their

brethren <0251>, Bavai <0942> the son <01121> of Henadad <02582>,

 the ruler <08269> of the half <02677> part <06418> of Keilah

<07084>.

Neh 03:19  And next to him <03027> repaired <02388> (8762) Ezer

<05829> the son <01121> of Jeshua <03442>, the ruler <08269> of

Mizpah <04709>, another <08145> piece <04060> over against the

going up <05927> (8800) to the armoury <05402> at the turning

<04740> of the wall.

Neh 03:20  After <0310> him Baruch <01263> the son <01121> of

Zabbai <02079> earnestly <02734> (8689) repaired <02388> (8689)

the other <08145> piece <04060>, from the turning <04740> of the

wall unto the door <06607> of the house <01004> of Eliashib

<0475> the high <01419> priest <03548>.

Neh 03:21  After <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) Meremoth

<04822> the son <01121> of Urijah <0223> the son <01121> of Koz

<06976> another <08145> piece <04060>, from the door <06607> of

the house <01004> of Eliashib <0475> even to the end <08503> of

the house <01004> of Eliashib <0475>.

Neh 03:22  And after <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) the

priests <03548>, the men <0582> of the plain <03603>.

Neh 03:23  After <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) Benjamin

<01144> and Hashub <02815> over against their house <01004>.

After <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) Azariah <05838> the son

<01121> of Maaseiah <04641> the son <01121> of Ananiah <06055>

by <0681> his house <01004>.

Neh 03:24  After <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) Binnui

<01131> the son <01121> of Henadad <02582> another <08145> piece

<04060>, from the house <01004> of Azariah <05838> unto the

turning <04740> of the wall, even unto the corner <06438>.

Neh 03:25  Palal <06420> the son <01121> of Uzai <0186>, over

against the turning <04740> of the wall, and the tower <04026>

which lieth out <03318> (8802) from the king’s <04428> high

<05945> house <01004>, that was by the court <02691> of the

prison <04307>. After <0310> him Pedaiah <06305> the son <01121>

of Parosh <06551>.

Neh 03:26  Moreover the Nethinims <05411> dwelt <03427> (8802)

in Ophel <06077>, unto the place over against the water <04325>

gate <08179> toward the east <04217>, and the tower <04026> that

lieth out <03318> (8802).

Neh 03:27  After <0310> them the Tekoites <08621> repaired

<02388> (8689) another <08145> piece <04060>, over against the

great <01419> tower <04026> that lieth out <03318> (8802), even

unto the wall <02346> of Ophel <06077>.

Neh 03:28  From above the horse <05483> gate <08179> repaired

<02388> (8689) the priests <03548>, every one <0376> over

against <05048> his house <01004>.

Neh 03:29  After <0310> them repaired <02388> (8689) Zadok

<06659> the son <01121> of Immer <0564> over against his house

<01004>. After <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) also Shemaiah

<08098> the son <01121> of Shechaniah <07935>, the keeper

<08104> (8802) of the east <04217> gate <08179>.

Neh 03:30  After <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) 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> (8689)

Meshullam <04918> the son <01121> of Berechiah <01296> over

against his chamber <05393>.

Neh 03:31  After <0310> him repaired <02388> (8689) Malchiah

<04441> the goldsmith’s <06885> son <01121> unto the place

<01004> of the Nethinims <05411>, and of the merchants <07402>

(8802), over against the gate <08179> Miphkad <04663>, and to

the going up <05944> of the corner <06438>.

Neh 03:32  And between the going up <05944> of the corner

<06438> unto the sheep <06629> gate <08179> repaired <02388>

(8689) the goldsmiths <06884> (8802) and the merchants <07402>

(8802).

Neh 04:01 ¶ But it came to pass, that when Sanballat <05571>

heard <08085> (8804) that we builded <01129> (8802) the wall

<02346>, he was wroth <02734> (8799), and took great <07235>

(8687) indignation <03707> (8799), and mocked <03932> (8686) the

Jews <03064>.

Neh 04:02  And he spake <0559> (8799) before <06440> his

brethren <0251> and the army <02428> of Samaria <08111>, and

said <0559> (8799), What do <06213> (8802) these feeble <0537>

Jews <03064>? will they fortify <05800> (8799) themselves? will

they sacrifice <02076> (8799)? will they make an end <03615>

(8762) in a day <03117>? will they revive <02421> (8762) the

stones <068> out of the heaps <06194> of the rubbish <06083>

which are burned <08313> (8803)?

Neh 04:03  Now Tobiah <02900> the Ammonite <05984> was by him

<0681>, and he said <0559> (8799), Even that which they build

<01129> (8802), if a fox <07776> go up <05927> (8799), he shall

even break down <06555> (8804) their stone <068> wall <02346>.

Neh 04:04  Hear <08085> (8798), O our God <0430>; for we are

despised <0939>: and turn <07725> (8685) their reproach <02781>

upon their own head <07218>, and give <05414> (8798) them for a

prey <0961> in the land <0776> of captivity <07633>:

Neh 04:05  And cover <03680> (8762) not their iniquity <05771>,

and let not their sin <02403> be blotted out <04229> (8735) from

before <06440> thee: for they have provoked thee to anger

<03707> (8689) before the builders <01129> (8802).

Neh 04:06  So built <01129> (8799) we the wall <02346>; and all

the wall <02346> was joined together <07194> (8735) unto the

half <02677> thereof: for the people <05971> had a mind <03820>

to work <06213> (8800).

Neh 04:07 ¶ 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> (8804) that

the walls <02346> of Jerusalem <03389> were made up <0724>

<05927> (8804), and that the breaches <06555> (8803) began

<02490> (8689) to be stopped <05640> (8736), then they were very

<03966> wroth <02734> (8799),

Neh 04:08  And conspired <07194> (8799) all of them together

<03162> to come <0935> (8800) and to fight <03898> (8736)

against Jerusalem <03389>, and to hinder <06213> (8800) <08442>

it.

Neh 04:09  Nevertheless we made our prayer <06419> (8691) unto

our God <0430>, and set <05975> (8686) a watch <04929> against

them day <03119> and night <03915>, because <06440> of them.

Neh 04:10  And Judah <03063> said <0559> (8799), The strength

<03581> of the bearers of burdens <05449> is decayed <03782>

(8804), and there is much <07235> (8687) rubbish <06083>; so

that we are not able <03201> (8799) to build <01129> (8800) the

wall <02346>.

Neh 04:11  And our adversaries <06862> said <0559> (8799), They

shall not know <03045> (8799), neither see <07200> (8799), till

we come <0935> (8799) in the midst <08432> among <08432> them,

and slay <02026> (8804) them, and cause the work <04399> to

cease <07673> (8689).

Neh 04:12  And it came to pass, that when the Jews <03064> which

dwelt <03427> (8802) by them <0681> came <0935> (8804), they

said <0559> (8799) unto us ten <06235> times <06471>, From all

places <04725> whence ye shall return <07725> (8799) unto us

they will be upon you.

Neh 04:13  Therefore set <05975> (8686) I in the lower <08482>

places <04725> behind <0310> the wall <02346>, and on the higher

places <06706> (8675) <06708>, I even set <05975> (8686) the

people <05971> after their families <04940> with their swords

<02719>, their spears <07420>, and their bows <07198>.

Neh 04:14  And I looked <07200> (8799), and rose up <06965>

(8799), and said <0559> (8799) unto the nobles <02715>, and to

the rulers <05461>, and to the rest <03499> of the people

<05971>, Be not ye afraid <03372> (8799) of them <06440>:

remember <02142> (8798) the Lord <0136>, which is great <01419>

and terrible <03372> (8737), and fight <03898> (8734) for your

brethren <0251>, your sons <01121>, and your daughters <01323>,

your wives <0802>, and your houses <01004>.

Neh 04:15  And it came to pass, when our enemies <0341> (8802)

heard <08085> (8804) that it was known <03045> (8738) unto us,

and God <0430> had brought <06565> <00> their counsel <06098> to

nought <06565> (8686), that we returned <07725> (8799) all of us

to the wall <02346>, every one <0376> unto his work <04399>.

Neh 04:16 ¶ And it came to pass from that time <03117> forth,

that the half <02677> of my servants <05288> wrought <06213>

(8802) in the work <04399>, and the other half <02677> of them

held <02388> (8688) 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>.

Neh 04:17  They which builded <01129> (8802) on the wall <02346>,

 and they that bare <05375> (8802) burdens <05447>, with those

that laded <06006> (8802), every one with one <0259> of his

hands <03027> wrought <06213> (8802) in the work <04399>, and

with the other <0259> hand held <02388> (8688) a weapon <07973>.

Neh 04:18  For the builders <01129> (8802), every one <0376> had

his sword <02719> girded <0631> (8803) by his side <04975>, and

so builded <01129> (8802). And he that sounded <08628> (8802)

the trumpet <07782> was by me <0681>.

Neh 04:19  And I said <0559> (8799) unto the nobles <02715>, and

to the rulers <05461>, and to the rest <03499> of the people

<05971>, The work <04399> is great <07235> (8687) and large

<07342>, and we are separated <06504> (8737) upon the wall

<02346>, one <0376> far from <07350> another <0251>.

Neh 04:20  In what place <04725> therefore ye hear <08085>

(8799) the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>, resort <06908>

(8735) ye thither unto us: our God <0430> shall fight <03898>

(8735) for us.

Neh 04:21  So we laboured <06213> (8802) in the work <04399>:

and half <02677> of them held <02388> (8688) the spears <07420>

from the rising <05927> (8800) of the morning <07837> till the

stars <03556> appeared <03318> (8800).

Neh 04:22  Likewise at the same time <06256> said <0559> (8804)

I unto the people <05971>, Let every one <0376> with his servant

<05288> lodge <03885> (8799) within <08432> Jerusalem <03389>,

that in the night <03915> they may be a guard <04929> to us, and

labour <04399> on the day <03117>.

Neh 04:23  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> (8802) our clothes

<0899>, saving that every one <0376> put them off <07973> for

washing <04325>.

Neh 05:01 ¶ And there was a great <01419> cry <06818> of the

people <05971> and of their wives <0802> against their brethren

<0251> the Jews <03064>.

Neh 05:02  For there were <03426> that said <0559> (8802), We,

our sons <01121>, and our daughters <01323>, are many <07227>:

therefore we take up <03947> (8799) corn <01715> for them, that

we may eat <0398> (8799), and live <02421> (8799).

Neh 05:03  Some also there were <03426> that said <0559> (8802),

We have mortgaged <06148> (8802) our lands <07704>, vineyards

<03754>, and houses <01004>, that we might buy <03947> (8799)

corn <01715>, because of the dearth <07458>.

Neh 05:04  There were <03426> also that said <0559> (8802), We

have borrowed <03867> (8804) money <03701> for the king’s

<04428> tribute <04060>, and that upon our lands <07704> and

vineyards <03754>.

Neh 05:05  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> (8802) our sons

<01121> and our daughters <01323> to be servants <05650>, and

some of our daughters <01323> are <03426> brought unto bondage

<03533> (8737) already: neither is it in our power <0410>

<03027> to redeem them; for other men <0312> have our lands

<07704> and vineyards <03754>.

Neh 05:06 ¶ And I was very <03966> angry <02734> (8799) when I

heard <08085> (8804) their cry <02201> and these words <01697>.

Neh 05:07  Then I consulted <04427> (8735) with myself <03820>,

and I rebuked <07378> (8799) the nobles <02715>, and the rulers

<05461>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye exact <05378>

(8801) (8678) <05383> (8802) (8675) <05375> (8802) usury <04855>,

 every one <0376> of his brother <0251>. And I set <05414>

(8799) a great <01419> assembly <06952> against them.

Neh 05:08  And I said <0559> (8799) unto them, We after our

ability <01767> have redeemed <07069> (8804) our brethren <0251>

the Jews <03064>, which were sold <04376> (8737) unto the

heathen <01471>; and will ye even sell <04376> (8799) your

brethren <0251>? or shall they be sold <04376> (8738) unto us?

Then held they their peace <02790> (8686), and found <04672>

(8804) nothing <01697> to answer.

Neh 05:09  Also I said <0559> (8799), It is not good <02896>

that <01697> ye do <06213> (8802): ought ye not to walk <03212>

(8799) in the fear <03374> of our God <0430> because of the

reproach <02781> of the heathen <01471> our enemies <0341>

(8802)?

Neh 05:10  I likewise, and my brethren <0251>, and my servants

<05288>, might exact <05383> (8802) of them money <03701> and

corn <01715>: I pray you, let us leave off <05800> (8799) this

usury <04855>.

Neh 05:11  Restore <07725> (8685), 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> (8802) of them.

Neh 05:12  Then said <0559> (8799) they, We will restore <07725>

(8686) them, and will require <01245> (8762) nothing of them; so

will we do <06213> (8799) as thou sayest <0559> (8802). Then I

called <07121> (8799) the priests <03548>, and took an oath

<07650> (8686) of them, that they should do <06213> (8800)

according to this promise <01697>.

Neh 05:13  Also I shook <05287> (8804) my lap <02684>, and said

<0559> (8799), So God <0430> shake out <05287> (8762) every man

<0376> from his house <01004>, and from his labour <03018>, that

performeth <06965> (8686) not this promise <01697>, even thus be

he shaken out <05287> (8803), and emptied <07386>. And all the

congregation <06951> said <0559> (8799), Amen <0543>, and

praised <01984> (8762) the LORD <03068>. And the people <05971>

did <06213> (8799) according to this promise <01697>.

Neh 05:14 ¶ Moreover from the time <03117> that I was appointed

<06680> (8765) 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> (8804) the bread <03899> of the governor <06346>.

Neh 05:15  But the former <07223> governors <06346> that had

been before <06440> me were chargeable <03513> (8689) unto the

people <05971>, and had taken <03947> (8799) 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> (8804) over the people <05971>: but so

did <06213> (8804) not I, because <06440> of the fear <03374> of

God <0430>.

Neh 05:16  Yea, also I continued <02388> (8689) in the work

<04399> of this wall <02346>, neither bought <07069> (8804) we

any land <07704>: and all my servants <05288> were gathered

<06908> (8803) thither unto the work <04399>.

Neh 05:17  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> (8802) unto us from among

the heathen <01471> that are about us <05439>.

Neh 05:18  Now that which was prepared <06213> (8737) for me

daily <03117> was one <0259> ox <07794> and six <08337> choice

<01305> (8803) sheep <06629>; also fowls <06833> were prepared

<06213> (8738) for me, and once in ten <06235> days <03117>

store <07235> (8687) of all sorts of wine <03196>: yet for all

<05973> this required <01245> (8765) not I the bread <03899> of

the governor <06346>, because the bondage <05656> was heavy

<03513> (8804) upon this people <05971>.

Neh 05:19  Think <02142> (8798) upon me, my God <0430>, for good

<02896>, according to all that I have done <06213> (8804) for

this people <05971>.

Neh 06:01 ¶ 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> (8802), heard <08085> (8738)

that I had builded <01129> (8804) the wall <02346>, and that

there was no breach <06556> left <03498> (8738) therein; (though

<01571> <05704> at that time <06256> I had not set up <05975>

(8689) the doors <01817> upon the gates <08179>;)

Neh 06:02  That Sanballat <05571> and Geshem <01654> sent

<07971> (8799) unto me, saying <0559> (8800), Come <03212>

(8798), let us meet <03259> (8735) together <03162> in some one

of the villages <03715> in the plain <01237> of Ono <0207>. But

they thought <02803> (8802) to do <06213> (8800) me mischief

<07451>.

Neh 06:03  And I sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> unto

them, saying <0559> (8800), I am doing <06213> (8802) a great

<01419> work <04399>, so that I cannot <03201> (8799) come down

<03381> (8800): why should the work <04399> cease <07673> (8799),

 whilst <0834> I leave <07503> (8686) it, and come down <03381>

(8804) to you?

Neh 06:04  Yet they sent <07971> (8799) unto me four <0702>

times <06471> after this sort <01697>; and I answered <07725>

(8686) them after the same manner <01697>.

Neh 06:05  Then sent <07971> (8799) Sanballat <05571> his

servant <05288> unto me in like manner <01697> the fifth <02549>

time <06471> with an open <06605> (8803) letter <0107> in his

hand <03027>;

Neh 06:06  Wherein was written <03789> (8803), It is reported

<08085> (8738) among the heathen <01471>, and Gashmu <01654>

saith <0559> (8802) it, that thou and the Jews <03064> think

<02803> (8802) to rebel <04775> (8800): for which cause <03651>

thou buildest <01129> (8802) the wall <02346>, that thou mayest

be <01933> (8802) their king <04428>, according to these words

<01697>.

Neh 06:07  And thou hast also appointed <05975> (8689) prophets

<05030> to preach <07121> (8800) of thee at Jerusalem <03389>,

saying <0559> (8800), There is a king <04428> in Judah <03063>:

and now shall it be reported <08085> (8735) to the king <04428>

according to these words <01697>. Come <03212> (8798) now

therefore, and let us take counsel <03289> (8735) together

<03162>.

Neh 06:08  Then I sent <07971> (8799) unto him, saying <0559>

(8800), There are <01961> <00> no such things <01697> done

<01961> (8738) as thou sayest <0559> (8802), but thou feignest

<0908> (8802) them out of thine own heart <03820>.

Neh 06:09  For they all made us afraid <03372> (8764), saying

<0559> (8800), Their hands <03027> shall be weakened <07503>

(8799) from the work <04399>, that it be not done <06213> (8735).

 Now therefore, O God, strengthen <02388> (8761) my hands

<03027>.

Neh 06:10 ¶ Afterward I came <0935> (8804) unto the house

<01004> of Shemaiah <08098> the son <01121> of Delaiah <01806>

the son <01121> of Mehetabeel <04105>, who was shut up <06113>

(8803); and he said <0559> (8799), Let us meet together <03259>

(8735) in the house <01004> of God <0430>, within <08432> the

temple <01964>, and let us shut <05462> (8799) the doors <01817>

of the temple <01964>: for they will come <0935> (8802) to slay

<02026> (8800) thee; yea, in the night <03915> will they come

<0935> (8802) to slay <02026> (8800) thee.

Neh 06:11  And I said <0559> (8799), Should such <03644> a man

<0376> as I flee <01272> (8799)? and who is there, that, being

as I am, would go <0935> (8799) into the temple <01964> to save

his life <02425> (8804)? I will not go in <0935> (8799).

Neh 06:12  And, lo, I perceived <05234> (8686) that God <0430>

had not sent <07971> (8804) him; but that he pronounced <01696>

(8765) this prophecy <05016> against me: for Tobiah <02900> and

Sanballat <05571> had hired <07936> (8804) him.

Neh 06:13  Therefore was he hired <07936> (8803), that I should

be afraid <03372> (8799), and do so <06213> (8799), and sin

<02398> (8804), and that they might have matter for an evil

<07451> report <08034>, that they might reproach <02778> (8762)

me.

Neh 06:14  My God <0430>, think <02142> (8798) 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> (8764).

Neh 06:15 ¶ So the wall <02346> was finished <07999> (8799) in

the twenty <06242> and fifth <02568> day of the month Elul

<0435>, in fifty <02572> and two <08147> days <03117>.

Neh 06:16  And it came to pass, that when all our enemies <0341>

(8802) heard <08085> (8804) thereof, and all the heathen <01471>

that were about us <05439> saw <07200> (8799) these things, they

were much <03966> cast down <05307> (8799) in their own eyes

<05869>: for they perceived <03045> (8799) that this work

<04399> was wrought <06213> (8738) of our God <0430>.

Neh 06:17  Moreover in those days <03117> the nobles <02715> of

Judah <03063> sent <01980> (8802) many <07235> (8688) letters

<0107> unto Tobiah <02900>, and the letters of Tobiah <02900>

came <0935> (8802) unto them.

Neh 06:18  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> (8804) the

daughter <01323> of Meshullam <04918> the son <01121> of

Berechiah <01296>.

Neh 06:19  Also they reported <0559> (8802) his good deeds

<02896> before <06440> me, and uttered <03318> (8688) my words

<01697> to him. And Tobiah <02900> sent <07971> (8804) letters

<0107> to put me in fear <03372> (8763).

Neh 07:01 ¶ Now it came to pass, when the wall <02346> was built

<01129> (8738), and I had set up <05975> (8686) the doors

<01817>, and the porters <07778> and the singers <07891> (8789)

and the Levites <03881> were appointed <06485> (8735),

Neh 07:02  That I gave my brother <0251> Hanani <02607>, and

Hananiah <02608> the ruler <08269> of the palace <01002>, charge

<06680> (8762) over Jerusalem <03389>: for he was a faithful

<0571> man <0376>, and feared <03372> (8804) God <0430> above

many <07227>.

Neh 07:03  And I said <0559> (8799) unto them, Let not the gates

<08179> of Jerusalem <03389> be opened <06605> (8735) until the

sun <08121> be hot <02527>; and while they stand by <05975>

(8802), let them shut <01479> (8686) the doors <01817>, and bar

<0270> (8798) them: and appoint <05975> (8687) watches <04931>

of the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>, every

one <0376> in his watch <04929>, and every one <0376> to be over

against his house <01004>.

Neh 07:04  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> (8803).

Neh 07:05 ¶ And my God <0430> put <05414> (8799) into mine heart

<03820> to gather together <06908> (8799) the nobles <02715>,

and the rulers <05461>, and the people <05971>, that they might

be reckoned by genealogy <03187> (8692). And I found <04672>

(8799) a register <05612> of the genealogy <03188> of them which

came up <05927> (8802) at the first <07223>, and found <04672>

(8799) written <03789> (8803) therein,

Neh 07:06  These are the children <01121> of the province

<04082>, that went up <05927> (8802) 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> (8689), and came again <07725> (8799) to

Jerusalem <03389> and to Judah <03063>, every one <0376> unto

his city <05892>;

Neh 07:07  Who came <0935> (8802) with Zerubbabel <02216>,

Jeshua <03442>, Nehemiah <05166>, Azariah <05838>, Raamiah

<07485>, Nahamani <05167>, Mordecai <04782>, Bilshan <01114>,

Mispereth <04559>, Bigvai <0902>, Nehum <05149>, Baanah <01196>.

The number <04557>, I say, of the men <0582> of the people

<05971> of Israel <03478> was this;

Neh 07:08  The children <01121> of Parosh <06551>, two <08147>

thousand <0505> an hundred <03967> seventy <07657> and two

<08147>.

<01121> of Sophereth <05618>, the children <01121> of Perida

<01121> of Darkon <01874>, the children <01121> of Giddel

children <01121> of Hattil <02411>, the children <01121> of

Pochereth of Zebaim <06380>, the children <01121> of Amon <0526>.

Neh 07:60  All the Nethinims <05411>, and the children <01121>

of Solomon’s <08010> servants <05650>, were three <07969>

hundred <03967> ninety <08673> and two <08147>.

Neh 07:61  And these were they which went up <05927> (8802) also

from Telmelah <08528>, Telharesha <08521>, Cherub <03743>, Addon

<0114>, and Immer <0564>: but they could <03201> (8804) not shew

<05046> (8687) their father’s <01> house <01004>, nor their seed

<02233>, whether they were of Israel <03478>.

Neh 07:62  The children <01121> of Delaiah <01806>, the children

<01121> of Tobiah <02900>, the children <01121> of Nekoda

Habaiah <02252>, the children <01121> of Koz <06976>, the

children <01121> of Barzillai <01271>, which took <03947> (8804)

one of the daughters <01323> of Barzillai <01271> the Gileadite

<01569> to wife <0802>, and was called <07121> (8735) after

their name <08034>.

Neh 07:64  These sought <01245> (8765) their register <03791>

among those that were reckoned by genealogy <03187> (8693), but

it was not found <04672> (8738): therefore were they, as

polluted <01351> (8792), put from the priesthood <03550>.

Neh 07:65  And the Tirshatha <08660> said <0559> (8799) unto

them, that they should not eat <0398> (8799) of the most <06944>

holy things <06944>, till there stood <05975> (8800) up a priest

<03548> with Urim <0224> and Thummim <08550>.

Neh 07:66  The whole congregation <06951> together <0259> was

forty <0702> <07239> and two thousand <0505> three <07969>

hundred <03967> and threescore <08346>,

Neh 07:67  Beside their manservants <05650> and their

maidservants <0519>, of whom there were seven <07651> thousand

<0505> three <07969> hundred <03967> thirty <07970> and seven

<07651>: and they had two hundred <03967> forty <0705> and five

<02568> singing men <07891> (8789) and singing women <07891>

(8789).

Neh 07:68  Their horses <05483>, seven <07651> hundred <03967>

thirty <07970> and six <08337>: their mules <06505>, two hundred

<03967> forty <0705> and five <02568>:

Neh 07:70  And some of <07117> the chief <07218> of the fathers

<01> gave <05414> (8804) unto the work <04399>. The Tirshatha

<08660> gave <05414> (8804) to the treasure <0214> a thousand

<0505> drams <01871> of gold <02091>, fifty <02572> basons

<04219>, five <02568> hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> priests

<03548>‘ garments <03801>.

Neh 07:71  And some of the chief <07218> of the fathers <01>

gave <05414> (8804) to the treasure <0214> of the work <04399>

twenty <08147> thousand <07239> drams <01871> of gold <02091>,

and two thousand <0505> and two hundred <03967> pound <04488> of

silver <03701>.

Neh 07:72  And that which the rest <07611> of the people <05971>

gave <05414> (8804) was twenty <08147> thousand <07239> drams

<01871> of gold <02091>, and two thousand <0505> pound <04488>

of silver <03701>, and threescore <08346> and seven <07651>

priests <03548>‘ garments <03801>.

Neh 07:73  So the priests <03548>, and the Levites <03881>, and

the porters <07778>, and the singers <07891> (8789), and some of

the people <05971>, and the Nethinims <05411>, and all Israel

<03478>, dwelt <03427> (8799) in their cities <05892>; and when

the seventh <07637> month <02320> came <05060> (8799), the

children <01121> of Israel <03478> were in their cities <05892>.

Neh 08:01 ¶ And all the people <05971> gathered themselves

together <0622> (8735) as one <0259> man <0376> into the street

<07339> that was before <06440> the water <04325> gate <08179>;

and they spake <0559> (8799) unto Ezra <05830> the scribe

<05608> (8802) to bring <0935> (8687) the book <05612> of the

law <08451> of Moses <04872>, which the LORD <03068> had

commanded <06680> (8765) to Israel <03478>.

Neh 08:02  And Ezra <05830> the priest <03548> brought <0935>

(8686) the law <08451> before <06440> the congregation <06951>

both of men <0376> and women <0802>, and all that could hear

<08085> (8800) with understanding <0995> (8688), upon the first

<0259> day <03117> of the seventh <07637> month <02320>.

Neh 08:03  And he read <07121> (8799) 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> (8688); and the ears <0241> of all the people

<05971> were attentive unto the book <05612> of the law <08451>.

Neh 08:04  And Ezra <05830> the scribe <05608> (8802) stood

<05975> (8799) upon a pulpit <04026> of wood <06086>, which they

had made <06213> (8804) for the purpose <01697>; and beside

<0681> him stood <05975> (8799) 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>.

Neh 08:05  And Ezra <05830> opened <06605> (8799) 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>

(8800) it, all the people <05971> stood up <05975> (8804):

Neh 08:06  And Ezra <05830> blessed <01288> (8762) the LORD

<03068>, the great <01419> God <0430>. And all the people

<05971> answered <06030> (8799), Amen <0543>, Amen <0543>, with

lifting up <04607> their hands <03027>: and they bowed <06915>

(8799) their heads, and worshipped <07812> (8691) the LORD

<03068> with their faces <0639> to the ground <0776>.

Neh 08:07  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> (8688) the law <08451>: and the people <05971> stood in

their place <05977>.

Neh 08:08  So they read <07121> (8799) in the book <05612> in

the law <08451> of God <0430> distinctly <06567> (8794), and

gave <07760> (8800) the sense <07922>, and caused them to

understand <0995> (8799) the reading <04744>.

Neh 08:09 ¶ And Nehemiah <05166>, which is the Tirshatha <08660>,

 and Ezra <05830> the priest <03548> the scribe <05608> (8802),

and the Levites <03881> that taught <0995> (8688) the people

<05971>, said <0559> (8799) unto all the people <05971>, This

day <03117> is holy <06918> unto the LORD <03068> your God

<0430>; mourn <056> (8691) not, nor weep <01058> (8799). For all

the people <05971> wept <01058> (8802), when they heard <08085>

(8800) the words <01697> of the law <08451>.

Neh 08:10  Then he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Go your way

<03212> (8798), eat <0398> (8798) the fat <04924>, and drink

<08354> (8798) the sweet <04477>, and send <07971> (8798)

portions <04490> unto them for whom nothing is prepared <03559>

(8737): for this day <03117> is holy <06918> unto our Lord

<0113>: neither be ye sorry <06087> (8735); for the joy <02304>

of the LORD <03068> is your strength <04581>.

Neh 08:11  So the Levites <03881> stilled <02814> (8688) all the

people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), Hold your peace <02013>

(8761), for the day <03117> is holy <06918>; neither be ye

grieved <06087> (8735).

Neh 08:12  And all the people <05971> went their way <03212>

(8799) to eat <0398> (8800), and to drink <08354> (8800), and to

send <07971> (8763) portions <04490>, and to make <06213> (8800)

great <01419> mirth <08057>, because they had understood <0995>

(8689) the words <01697> that were declared <03045> (8689) unto

them.

Neh 08:13 ¶ And on the second <08145> day <03117> were gathered

together <0622> (8738) 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> (8802), even to

understand <07919> (8687) the words <01697> of the law <08451>.

Neh 08:14  And they found <04672> (8799) written <03789> (8803)

in the law <08451> which the LORD <03068> had commanded <06680>

(8765) by <03027> Moses <04872>, that the children <01121> of

Israel <03478> should dwell <03427> (8799) in booths <05521> in

the feast <02282> of the seventh <07637> month <02320>:

Neh 08:15  And that they should publish <08085> (8686) and

proclaim <05674> (8686) <06963> in all their cities <05892>, and

in Jerusalem <03389>, saying <0559> (8800), Go forth <03318>

(8798) unto the mount <02022>, and fetch <0935> (8685) 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> (8800) booths <05521>, as it is written

<03789> (8803).

Neh 08:16  So the people <05971> went forth <03318> (8799), and

brought <0935> (8686) them, and made <06213> (8799) 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>.

Neh 08:17  And all the congregation <06951> of them that were

come again <07725> (8802) out of the captivity <07628> made

<06213> (8799) booths <05521>, and sat <03427> (8799) 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> (8804). And

there was very <03966> great <01419> gladness <08057>.

Neh 08:18  Also day <03117> by day <03117>, from the first

<07223> day <03117> unto the last <0314> day <03117>, he read

<07121> (8799) in the book <05612> of the law <08451> of God

<0430>. And they kept <06213> (8799) the feast <02282> seven

<07651> days <03117>; and on the eighth <08066> day <03117> was

a solemn assembly <06116>, according unto the manner <04941>.

Neh 09:01 ¶ Now in the twenty <06242> and fourth <0702> day

<03117> of this month <02320> the children <01121> of Israel

<03478> were assembled <0622> (8738) with fasting <06685>, and

with sackclothes <08242>, and earth <0127> upon them.

Neh 09:02  And the seed <02233> of Israel <03478> separated

<0914> (8735) themselves from all strangers <01121> <05236>, and

stood <05975> (8799) and confessed <03034> (8691) their sins

<02403>, and the iniquities <05771> of their fathers <01>.

Neh 09:03  And they stood up <06965> (8799) in their place

<05977>, and read <07121> (8799) 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> (8693), and worshipped <07812> (8693) the LORD

<03068> their God <0430>.

Neh 09:04 ¶ Then stood up <06965> (8799) 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>

(8799) with a loud <01419> voice <06963> unto the LORD <03068>

their God <0430>.

Neh 09:05  Then the Levites <03881>, Jeshua <03442>, and Kadmiel

<06934>, Bani <01137>, Hashabniah <02813>, Sherebiah <08274>,

Hodijah <01941>, Shebaniah <07645>, and Pethahiah <06611>, said

<0559> (8799), Stand up <06965> (8798) and bless <01288> (8761)

the LORD <03068> your God <0430> for ever <05769> and ever

<05769>: and blessed <01288> (8762) be thy glorious <03519> name

<08034>, which is exalted <07311> (8784) above all blessing

<01293> and praise <08416>.

Neh 09:06  Thou, even thou, art LORD <03068> alone; thou hast

made <06213> (8804) 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> (8764) them all; and the

host <06635> of heaven <08064> worshippeth <07812> (8693) thee.

Neh 09:07  Thou art the LORD <03068> the God <0430>, who didst

choose <0977> (8804) Abram <087>, and broughtest him forth

<03318> (8689) out of Ur <0218> of the Chaldees <03778>, and

gavest <07760> (8804) him the name <08034> of Abraham <085>;

Neh 09:08  And foundest <04672> (8804) his heart <03824>

faithful <0539> (8737) before <06440> thee, and madest <03772>

(8800) a covenant <01285> with him to give <05414> (8800) 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> (8800) it,

I say, to his seed <02233>, and hast performed <06965> (8686)

thy words <01697>; for thou art righteous <06662>:

Neh 09:09  And didst see <07200> (8799) the affliction <06040>

of our fathers <01> in Egypt <04714>, and heardest <08085>

(8804) their cry <02201> by the Red <05488> sea <03220>;

Neh 09:10  And shewedst <05414> (8799) 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> (8804) that they dealt proudly <02102> (8689)

against them. So didst thou get <06213> (8799) thee a name

<08034>, as it is this day <03117>.

Neh 09:11  And thou didst divide <01234> (8804) the sea <03220>

before <06440> them, so that they went through <05674> (8799)

the midst <08432> of the sea <03220> on the dry land <03004>;

and their persecutors <07291> (8802) thou threwest <07993>

(8689) into the deeps <04688>, as a stone <068> into the mighty

<05794> waters <04325>.

Neh 09:12  Moreover thou leddest <05148> (8689) 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> (8687) in the way <01870> wherein they should go <03212>

(8799).

Neh 09:13  Thou camest down <03381> (8804) also upon mount

<02022> Sinai <05514>, and spakest <01696> (8763) with them from

heaven <08064>, and gavest <05414> (8799) them right <03477>

judgments <04941>, and true <0571> laws <08451>, good <02896>

statutes <02706> and commandments <04687>:

Neh 09:14  And madest known <03045> (8689) unto them thy holy

<06944> sabbath <07676>, and commandedst <06680> (8765) them

precepts <04687>, statutes <02706>, and laws <08451>, by the

hand <03027> of Moses <04872> thy servant <05650>:

Neh 09:15  And gavest <05414> (8804) them bread <03899> from

heaven <08064> for their hunger <07458>, and broughtest forth

<03318> (8689) water <04325> for them out of the rock <05553>

for their thirst <06772>, and promisedst <0559> (8799) them that

they should go in <0935> (8800) to possess <03423> (8800) the

land <0776> which thou hadst sworn <03027> <05375> (8804) to

give <05414> (8800) them.

Neh 09:16  But they and our fathers <01> dealt proudly <02102>

(8689), and hardened <07185> (8686) their necks <06203>, and

hearkened <08085> (8804) not to thy commandments <04687>,

Neh 09:17  And refused <03985> (8762) to obey <08085> (8800),

neither were mindful <02142> (8804) of thy wonders <06381>

(8737) that thou didst <06213> (8804) among them; but hardened

<07185> (8686) their necks <06203>, and in their rebellion

<04805> appointed <05414> (8799) a captain <07218> to return

<07725> (8800) 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> (8804) them not.

Neh 09:18  Yea, when they had made <06213> (8804) them a molten

<04541> calf <05695>, and said <0559> (8799), This is thy God

<0430> that brought thee up <05927> (8689) out of Egypt <04714>,

and had wrought <06213> (8799) great <01419> provocations

<05007>;

Neh 09:19  Yet thou in thy manifold <07227> mercies <07356>

forsookest <05800> (8804) them not in the wilderness <04057>:

the pillar <05982> of the cloud <06051> departed <05493> (8804)

not from them by day <03119>, to lead <05148> (8687) them in the

way <01870>; neither the pillar <05982> of fire <0784> by night

<03915>, to shew them light <0215> (8687), and the way <01870>

wherein they should go <03212> (8799).

Neh 09:20  Thou gavest <05414> (8804) also thy good <02896>

spirit <07307> to instruct <07919> (8687) them, and withheldest

<04513> (8804) not thy manna <04478> from their mouth <06310>,

and gavest <05414> (8804) them water <04325> for their thirst

<06772>.

Neh 09:21  Yea, forty <0705> years <08141> didst thou sustain

<03557> (8773) them in the wilderness <04057>, so that they

lacked <02637> (8804) nothing; their clothes <08008> waxed not

old <01086> (8804), and their feet <07272> swelled <01216>

(8804) not.

Neh 09:22  Moreover thou gavest <05414> (8799) them kingdoms

<04467> and nations <05971>, and didst divide <02505> (8799)

them into corners <06285>: so they possessed <03423> (8799) 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>.

Neh 09:23  Their children <01121> also multipliedst <07235>

(8689) thou as the stars <03556> of heaven <08064>, and

broughtest <0935> (8686) them into the land <0776>, concerning

which thou hadst promised <0559> (8804) to their fathers <01>,

that they should go in <0935> (8800) to possess <03423> (8800)

it.

Neh 09:24  So the children <01121> went in <0935> (8799) and

possessed <03423> (8799) the land <0776>, and thou subduedst

<03665> (8686) before <06440> them the inhabitants <03427>

(8802) of the land <0776>, the Canaanites <03669>, and gavest

<05414> (8799) them into their hands <03027>, with their kings

<04428>, and the people <05971> of the land <0776>, that they

might do <06213> (8800) with them as they would <07522>.

Neh 09:25  And they took <03920> (8799) strong <01219> (8803)

cities <05892>, and a fat <08082> land <0127>, and possessed

<03423> (8799) houses <01004> full <04392> of all goods <02898>,

wells <0953> digged <02672> (8803), vineyards <03754>, and

oliveyards <02132>, and fruit <03978> trees <06086> in abundance

<07230>: so they did eat <0398> (8799), and were filled <07646>

(8799), and became fat <08080> (8686), and delighted <05727>

(8691) themselves in thy great <01419> goodness <02898>.

Neh 09:26  Nevertheless they were disobedient <04784> (8686),

and rebelled <04775> (8799) against thee, and cast <07993>

(8686) thy law <08451> behind <0310> their backs <01458>, and

slew <02026> (8804) thy prophets <05030> which testified <05749>

(8689) against them to turn <07725> (8687) them to thee, and

they wrought <06213> (8799) great <01419> provocations <05007>.

Neh 09:27  Therefore thou deliveredst <05414> (8799) them into

the hand <03027> of their enemies <06862>, who vexed <06887>

(8686) them: and in the time <06256> of their trouble <06869>,

when they cried <06817> (8799) unto thee, thou heardest <08085>

(8799) them from heaven <08064>; and according to thy manifold

<07227> mercies <07356> thou gavest <05414> (8799) them saviours

<03467> (8688), who saved <03467> (8686) them out of the hand

<03027> of their enemies <06862>.

Neh 09:28  But after they had rest <05117> (8800), they did

<06213> (8800) evil <07451> again <07725> (8799) before <06440>

thee: therefore leftest <05800> (8799) thou them in the hand

<03027> of their enemies <0341> (8802), so that they had the

dominion <07287> (8799) over them: yet when they returned

<07725> (8799), and cried <02199> (8799) unto thee, thou

heardest <08085> (8799) them from heaven <08064>; and many

<07227> times <06256> didst thou deliver <05337> (8686) them

according to thy mercies <07356>;

Neh 09:29  And testifiedst <05749> (8686) against them, that

thou mightest bring them again <07725> (8687) unto thy law

<08451>: yet they dealt proudly <02102> (8689), and hearkened

<08085> (8804) not unto thy commandments <04687>, but sinned

<02398> (8804) against thy judgments <04941>, (which if a man

<0120> do <06213> (8799), he shall live <02421> (8804) in them;)

and withdrew <05414> (8799) <05637> (8802) the shoulder <03802>,

and hardened <07185> (8689) their neck <06203>, and would not

hear <08085> (8804).

Neh 09:30  Yet many <07227> years <08141> didst thou forbear

<04900> (8799) them, and testifiedst <05749> (8686) against them

by thy spirit <07307> in <03027> thy prophets <05030>: yet would

they not give ear <0238> (8689): therefore gavest <05414> (8799)

thou them into the hand <03027> of the people <05971> of the

lands <0776>.

Neh 09:31  Nevertheless for thy great <07227> mercies <07356>‘

sake thou didst <06213> (8804) not utterly consume <03617> them,

nor forsake <05800> (8804) them; for thou art a gracious <02587>

and merciful <07349> God <0410>.

Neh 09:32  Now therefore, our God <0430>, the great <01419>, the

mighty <01368>, and the terrible <03372> (8737) God <0410>, who

keepest <08104> (8802) covenant <01285> and mercy <02617>, let

not all the trouble <08513> seem little <04591> (8799) before

<06440> thee, that hath come <04672> (8804) 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>.

Neh 09:33  Howbeit thou art just <06662> in all that is brought

<0935> (8802) upon us; for thou hast done <06213> (8804) right

<0571>, but we have done wickedly <07561> (8689):

Neh 09:34  Neither have our kings <04428>, our princes <08269>,

our priests <03548>, nor our fathers <01>, kept <06213> (8804)

thy law <08451>, nor hearkened <07181> (8689) unto thy

commandments <04687> and thy testimonies <05715>, wherewith thou

didst testify <05749> (8689) against them.

Neh 09:35  For they have not served <05647> (8804) thee in their

kingdom <04438>, and in thy great <07227> goodness <02898> that

thou gavest <05414> (8804) them, and in the large <07342> and

fat <08082> land <0776> which thou gavest <05414> (8804) before

<06440> them, neither turned <07725> (8804) they from their

wicked <07451> works <04611>.

Neh 09:36  Behold, we are servants <05650> this day <03117>, and

for the land <0776> that thou gavest <05414> (8804) unto our

fathers <01> to eat <0398> (8800) the fruit <06529> thereof and

the good <02898> thereof, behold, we are servants <05650> in it:

Neh 09:37  And it yieldeth much <07235> (8688) increase <08393>

unto the kings <04428> whom thou hast set <05414> (8804) over us

because of our sins <02403>: also they have dominion <04910>

(8802) over our bodies <01472>, and over our cattle <0929>, at

their pleasure <07522>, and we are in great <01419> distress

<06869>.

Neh 09:38  And because of all this we make <03772> (8802) a sure

<0548> covenant, and write <03789> (8802) it; and our princes

<08269>, Levites <03881>, and priests <03548>, seal <02856>

(8803) unto it.

Neh 10:01 ¶ Now those that sealed <02856> (8803) were, Nehemiah

<05166>, the Tirshatha <08660>, the son <01121> of Hachaliah

<02446>, and Zidkijah <06667>,

Neh 10:13  Hodijah <01941>, Bani <01137>, Beninu <01148>.

Neh 10:14  The chief <07218> of the people <05971>; Parosh

<06551>, Pahathmoab <06355>, Elam <05867>, Zatthu <02240>, Bani

<01137>,

Neh 10:15  Bunni <01138>, Azgad <05803>, Bebai <0893>,

Neh 10:16  Adonijah <0138>, Bigvai <0902>, Adin <05720>,

Neh 10:17  Ater <0333>, Hizkijah <02396>, Azzur <05809>,

Neh 10:18  Hodijah <01941>, Hashum <02828>, Bezai <01209>,

Neh 10:25  Rehum <07348>, Hashabnah <02812>, Maaseiah <04641>,

Neh 10:26  And Ahijah <0281>, Hanan <02605>, Anan <06052>,

Neh 10:27  Malluch <04409>, Harim <02766>, Baanah <01196>.

Neh 10:28  And the rest <07605> of the people <05971>, the

priests <03548>, the Levites <03881>, the porters <07778>, the

singers <07891> (8789), the Nethinims <05411>, and all they that

had separated <0914> (8737) themselves from the people <05971>

of the lands <0776> unto the law <08451> of God <0430>, their

wives <0802>, their sons <01121>, and their daughters <01323>,

every one having knowledge <03045> (8802), and having

understanding <0995> (8688);

Neh 10:29  They clave <02388> (8688) to their brethren <0251>,

their nobles <0117>, and entered <0935> (8802) into a curse

<0423>, and into an oath <07621>, to walk <03212> (8800) in

God’s <0430> law <08451>, which was given <05414> (8738) by

<03027> Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of God <0430>, and to

observe <08104> (8800) and do <06213> (8800) all the

commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068> our Lord <0113>, and

his judgments <04941> and his statutes <02706>;

Neh 10:30  And that we would not give <05414> (8799) our

daughters <01323> unto the people <05971> of the land <0776>,

nor take <03947> (8799) their daughters <01323> for our sons

<01121>:

Neh 10:31  And if the people <05971> of the land <0776> bring

<0935> (8688) ware <04728> or any victuals <07668> on the

sabbath <07676> day <03117> to sell <04376> (8800), that we

would not buy <03947> (8799) it of them on the sabbath <07676>,

or on the holy <06944> day <03117>: and that we would leave

<05203> (8799) the seventh <07637> year <08141>, and the

exaction <04853> of every debt <03027>.

Neh 10:32 ¶ Also we made <05975> (8689) ordinances <04687> for

us, to charge <05414> (8800) ourselves yearly <08141> with the

third part <07992> of a shekel <08255> for the service <05656>

of the house <01004> of our God <0430>;

Neh 10:33  For the shewbread <04635> <03899>, and for the

continual <08548> meat offering <04503>, and for the continual

<08548> burnt offering <05930>, of the sabbaths <07676>, of the

new moons <02320>, for the set feasts <04150>, and for the holy

<06944> things, and for the sin offerings <02403> to make an

atonement <03722> (8763) for Israel <03478>, and for all the

work <04399> of the house <01004> of our God <0430>.

Neh 10:34  And we cast <05307> (8689) the lots <01486> among the

priests <03548>, the Levites <03881>, and the people <05971>,

for the wood <06086> offering <07133>, to bring <0935> (8687) it

into the house <01004> of our God <0430>, after the houses

<01004> of our fathers <01>, at times <06256> appointed <02163>

(8794) year <08141> by year <08141>, to burn <01197> (8763) upon

the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, as it is

written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451>:

Neh 10:35  And to bring <0935> (8687) the firstfruits <01061> of

our ground <0127>, and the firstfruits <01061> of all fruit

<06529> of all trees <06086>, year <08141> by year <08141>, unto

the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>:

Neh 10:36  Also the firstborn <01060> of our sons <01121>, and

of our cattle <0929>, as it is written <03789> (8803) in the law

<08451>, and the firstlings <01062> of our herds <01241> and of

our flocks <06629>, to bring <0935> (8687) to the house <01004>

of our God <0430>, unto the priests <03548> that minister

<08334> (8764) in the house <01004> of our God <0430>:

Neh 10:37  And that we should bring <0935> (8686) the

firstfruits <07225> of our dough <06182>, and our offerings

<08641>, and the fruit <06529> of all manner of trees <06086>,

of wine <08492> and of oil <03323>, unto the priests <03548>, to

the chambers <03957> of the house <01004> of our God <0430>; and

the tithes <04643> of our ground <0127> unto the Levites <03881>,

 that the same Levites <03881> might have the tithes <06237>

(8764) in all the cities <05892> of our tillage <05656>.

Neh 10:38  And the priest <03548> the son <01121> of Aaron

<0175> shall be with the Levites <03881>, when the Levites

<03881> take tithes <06237> (8687): and the Levites <03881>

shall bring up <05927> (8686) the tithe <04643> of the tithes

<04643> unto the house <01004> of our God <0430>, to the

chambers <03957>, into the treasure <0214> house <01004>.

Neh 10:39  For the children <01121> of Israel <03478> and the

children <01121> of Levi <03878> shall bring <0935> (8686) the

offering <08641> of the corn <01715>, of the new wine <08492>,

and the oil <03323>, unto the chambers <03957>, where are the

vessels <03627> of the sanctuary <04720>, and the priests

<03548> that minister <08334> (8764), and the porters <07778>,

and the singers <07891> (8789): and we will not forsake <05800>

(8799) the house <01004> of our God <0430>.

Neh 11:01 ¶ And the rulers <08269> of the people <05971> dwelt

<03427> (8799) at Jerusalem <03389>: the rest <07605> of the

people <05971> also cast <05307> (8689) lots <01486>, to bring

<0935> (8687) one <0259> of ten <06235> to dwell <03427> (8800)

in Jerusalem <03389> the holy <06944> city <05892>, and nine

<08672> parts <03027> to dwell in other cities <05892>.

Neh 11:02  And the people <05971> blessed <01288> (8762) all the

men <0582>, that willingly offered <05068> (8693) themselves to

dwell <03427> (8800) at Jerusalem <03389>.

Neh 11:03  Now these are the chief <07218> of the province

<04082> that dwelt <03427> (8804) in Jerusalem <03389>: but in

the cities <05892> of Judah <03063> dwelt <03427> (8804) every

Neh 12:44 ¶ And at that time <03117> were some <0582> appointed

<06485> (8735) over the chambers <05393> for the treasures

<0214>, for the offerings <08641>, for the firstfruits <07225>,

and for the tithes <04643>, to gather <03664> (8800) 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> (8802).

Neh 12:45  And both the singers <07891> (8789) and the porters

<07778> kept <08104> (8799) 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>.

Neh 12:46  For in the days <03117> of David <01732> and Asaph

<0623> of old <06924> there were chief <07218> of the singers

<07891> (8789), and songs <07892> of praise <08416> and

thanksgiving <03034> (8687) unto God <0430>.

Neh 12:47  And all Israel <03478> in the days <03117> of

Zerubbabel <02216>, and in the days <03117> of Nehemiah <05166>,

gave <05414> (8802) the portions <04521> of the singers <07891>

(8789) and the porters <07778>, every day <03117> his portion

<01697>: and they sanctified <06942> (8688) holy things unto the

Levites <03881>; and the Levites <03881> sanctified <06942>

(8688) them unto the children <01121> of Aaron <0175>.

Neh 13:01 ¶ On that day <03117> they read <07121> (8738) in the

book <05612> of Moses <04872> in the audience <0241> of the

people <05971>; and therein was found <04672> (8738) written

<03789> (8803), that the Ammonite <05984> and the Moabite

<04125> should not come <0935> (8799) into the congregation

<06951> of God <0430> for <05704> ever <05769>;

Neh 13:02  Because they met <06923> (8765) not the children

<01121> of Israel <03478> with bread <03899> and with water

<04325>, but hired <07936> (8799) Balaam <01109> against them,

that he should curse <07043> (8763) them: howbeit our God <0430>

turned <02015> (8799) the curse <07045> into a blessing <01293>.

Neh 13:03  Now it came to pass, when they had heard <08085>

(8800) the law <08451>, that they separated <0914> (8686) from

Israel <03478> all the mixed multitude <06154>.

Neh 13:04  And before <06440> this, Eliashib <0475> the priest

<03548>, having the oversight <05414> (8803) of the chamber

<03957> of the house <01004> of our God <0430>, was allied

<07138> unto Tobiah <02900>:

Neh 13:05  And he had prepared <06213> (8799) for him a great

<01419> chamber <03957>, where aforetime <06440> they laid

<05414> (8802) 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> (8789), and the porters <07778>; and the

offerings <08641> of the priests <03548>.

Neh 13:06  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>

(8804) I unto the king <04428>, and after <07093> certain days

<03117> obtained I leave <07592> (8738) of the king <04428>:

Neh 13:07  And I came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>, and

understood <0995> (8799) of the evil <07451> that Eliashib

<0475> did <06213> (8804) for Tobiah <02900>, in preparing

<06213> (8800) him a chamber <05393> in the courts <02691> of

the house <01004> of God <0430>.

Neh 13:08  And it grieved <03415> (8799) me sore <03966>:

therefore I cast forth <07993> (8686) all the household <01004>

stuff <03627> of Tobiah <02900> out of <02351> the chamber

<03957>.

Neh 13:09  Then I commanded <0559> (8799), and they cleansed

<02891> (8762) the chambers <03957>: and thither brought I again

<07725> (8686) the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of God

<0430>, with the meat offering <04503> and the frankincense

<03828>.

Neh 13:10 ¶ And I perceived <03045> (8799) that the portions

<04521> of the Levites <03881> had not been given <05414> (8738)

them: for the Levites <03881> and the singers <07891> (8789),

that did <06213> (8802) the work <04399>, were fled <01272>

(8799) every one <0376> to his field <07704>.

Neh 13:11  Then contended <07378> (8799) I with the rulers

<05461>, and said <0559> (8799), Why is the house <01004> of God

<0430> forsaken <05800> (8738)? And I gathered them together

<06908> (8762), and set <05975> (8686) them in their place

<05977>.

Neh 13:12  Then brought <0935> (8689) all Judah <03063> the

tithe <04643> of the corn <01715> and the new wine <08492> and

the oil <03323> unto the treasuries <0214>.

Neh 13:13  And I made treasurers <0686> (8799) over the

treasuries <0214>, Shelemiah <08018> the priest <03548>, and

Zadok <06659> the scribe <05608> (8802), 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> (8738) faithful

<0539> (8737), and their office was to distribute <02505> (8800)

unto their brethren <0251>.

Neh 13:14  Remember <02142> (8798) me, O my God <0430>,

concerning this, and wipe not out <04229> (8686) my good <02617>

deeds that I have done <06213> (8804) for the house <01004> of

my God <0430>, and for the offices <04929> thereof.

Neh 13:15 ¶ In those days <03117> saw <07200> (8804) I in Judah

<03063> some treading <01869> (8802) wine presses <01660> on the

sabbath <07676>, and bringing in <0935> (8688) sheaves <06194>,

and lading <06006> (8802) asses <02543>; as also wine <03196>,

grapes <06025>, and figs <08384>, and all manner of burdens

<04853>, which they brought <0935> (8688) into Jerusalem <03389>

on the sabbath <07676> day <03117>: and I testified <05749>

(8686) against them in the day <03117> wherein they sold <04376>

(8800) victuals <06718>.

Neh 13:16  There dwelt <03427> (8804) men of Tyre <06876> also

therein, which brought <0935> (8688) fish <01709> (8675) <01709>,

 and all manner of ware <04377>, and sold <04376> (8802) on the

sabbath <07676> unto the children <01121> of Judah <03063>, and

in Jerusalem <03389>.

Neh 13:17  Then I contended <07378> (8799) with the nobles

<02715> of Judah <03063>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, What

evil <07451> thing <01697> is this that ye do <06213> (8802),

and profane <02490> (8764) the sabbath <07676> day <03117>?

Neh 13:18  Did <06213> (8804) not your fathers <01> thus, and

did <0935> <00> not our God <0430> bring <0935> (8686) all this

evil <07451> upon us, and upon this city <05892>? yet ye bring

<0935> (8686) more <03254> (8688) wrath <02740> upon Israel

<03478> by profaning <02490> (8763) the sabbath <07676>.

Neh 13:19  And it came to pass, that when the gates <08179> of

Jerusalem <03389> began to be dark <06751> (8804) before <06440>

the sabbath <07676>, I commanded <0559> (8799) that the gates

<01817> should be shut <05462> (8735), and charged <0559> (8799)

that they should not be opened <06605> (8799) till after <0310>

the sabbath <07676>: and some of my servants <05288> set <05975>

(8689) I at the gates <08179>, that there should no burden

<04853> be brought in <0935> (8799) on the sabbath <07676> day

<03117>.

Neh 13:20  So the merchants <07402> (8802) and sellers <04376>

(8802) of all kind of ware <04465> lodged <03885> (8799) without

<02351> Jerusalem <03389> once <06471> or twice <08147>.

Neh 13:21  Then I testified <05749> (8686) against them, and

said <0559> (8799) unto them, Why lodge <03885> (8801) ye about

<05048> the wall <02346>? if ye do so again <08138> (8799), I

will lay <07971> (8799) hands <03027> on you. From that time

<06256> forth came <0935> (8804) they no more on the sabbath

<07676>.

Neh 13:22  And I commanded <0559> (8799) the Levites <03881>

that they should cleanse <02891> (8693) themselves, and that

they should come <0935> (8802) and keep <08104> (8802) the gates

<08179>, to sanctify <06942> (8763) the sabbath <07676> day

<03117>. Remember <02142> (8798) me, O my God <0430>, concerning

this also, and spare <02347> (8798) me according to the

greatness <07230> of thy mercy <02617>.

Neh 13:23 ¶ In those days <03117> also saw <07200> (8804) I Jews

<03064> that had married <03427> (8689) wives <0802> of Ashdod

<0796>, of Ammon <05984>, and of Moab <04125>:

Neh 13:24  And their children <01121> spake <01696> (8764) half

<02677> in the speech of Ashdod <0797>, and could <05234> (8688)

not speak <01696> (8763) in the Jews’ language <03066>, but

according to the language <03956> of each <05971> people <05971>.

Neh 13:25  And I contended <07378> (8799) with them, and cursed

<07043> (8762) them, and smote <05221> (8686) certain <0582> of

them, and plucked off their hair <04803> (8799), and made them

swear <07650> (8686) by God <0430>, saying, Ye shall not give

<05414> (8799) your daughters <01323> unto their sons <01121>,

nor take <05375> (8799) their daughters <01323> unto your sons

<01121>, or for yourselves.

Neh 13:26  Did not Solomon <08010> king <04428> of Israel

<03478> sin <02398> (8804) by these things? yet among many

<07227> nations <01471> was there no king <04428> like him, who

was beloved <0157> (8803) of his God <0430>, and God <0430> made

<05414> (8799) him king <04428> over all Israel <03478>:

nevertheless even him <01571> did outlandish <05237> women

<0802> cause to sin <02398> (8689).

Neh 13:27  Shall we then hearken <08085> (8799) unto you to do

<06213> (8800) all this great <01419> evil <07451>, to

transgress <04603> (8800) against our God <0430> in marrying

<03427> (8687) strange <05237> wives <0802>?

Neh 13:28  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> (8686) him from me.

Neh 13:29  Remember <02142> (8798) 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>.

Neh 13:30  Thus cleansed <02891> (8765) I them from all

strangers <05236>, and appointed <05975> (8686) the wards

<04931> of the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, every

one <0376> in his business <04399>;

Neh 13:31  And for the wood <06086> offering <07133>, at times

<06256> appointed <02163> (8794), and for the firstfruits

<01061>. Remember <02142> (8798) me, O my God <0430>, for good

<02896>.
