01 : 01 . The words <01697 +dabar > of Nehemiah <05166
+N@chemyah > the son <01121 +ben > of Hachaliah <02446
+Chakalyah > . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass in the month
<02320 +chodesh > Chisleu <03691 +Kiclev > , in the twentieth
<06242 +<esriym > year <08141 +shaneh > , as I was in Shushan
<07800 +Shuwshan > the palace <01002 +biyrah > ,
01 : 02 That Hanani <02607 +Chananiy > , one <00259 +>echad > of
my brethren <00251 +>ach > , came <00935 +bow> > , he and [
certain ] men <00582 +>enowsh > of Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > ;
and I asked <07592 +sha>al > them concerning <05921 +<al > the
Jews <03064 +Y@huwdiy > that had escaped <06413 +p@leytah > ,
which <00834 +>aher > were left <07604 +sha>ar > of the

Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > .

+parats > down , and the gates <08179 +sha<ar > thereof are
burned <03341 +yatsath > with fire <00784 +>esh > .
01 : 04 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when I heard
<08085 +shama< > these <00428 +>el - leh > words <01697 +dabar >
, that I sat <03427 +yashab > down and wept <01058 +bakah > ,
and mourned <56> [ certain ] days <03117 +yowm > , and fasted
<06684 +tsuwm > , and prayed <06419 +palal > before <06440
+paniym > the God <00430 +>elohiym > of heaven <08064 +shamayim

01 : 05 . And said <00559 +>amar > , I beseech <00577 +>anna> >
thee , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God <00430 +>elohiym > of heaven
<08064 +shamayim > , the great <01419 +gadowl > and terrible
<03372 +yare> > God <00410 +>el > , that keepeth <08104 +shamar

that love <00157 +>ahab > him and observe <08104 +shamar > his
commandments <04687 +mitsvah > :
01 : 06 Let thine ear <00241 +>ozen > now <04994 +na> > be
attentive <07183 +qashshab > , and thine eyes <05869 +<ayin >
open <06605 +pathach > , that thou mayest hear <08085 +shama< >
the prayer <08605 +t@phillah > of thy servant <05650 +<ebed > ,
which <00834 +>aher > I pray <06419 +palal > before <06440
+paniym > thee now <03117 +yowm > , day <03119 +yowmam > and
night <03915 +layil > , for the children <01121 +ben > of Israel
<03478 +Yisra>el > thy servants <05650 +<ebed > , and confess
<03034 +yadah > the sins <02403 +chatta>ah > of the children
<01121 +ben > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > , which <00834 +>aher
> we have sinned <02398 +chata> > against thee : both I and my
father s <1> house <01004 +bayith > have sinned <02398 +chata> >
.
01 : 07 We have dealt very corruptly <02254 +chabal > against
thee , and have not kept <08104 +shamar > the commandments
<04687 +mitsvah > , nor the statutes <02706 +choq > , nor the
judgments <04941 +mishpat > , which <00834 +>aher > thou
commandedst <06680 +tsavah > thy servant <05650 +<ebed > Moses
<04872 +Mosheh > .
01 : 08 Remember <02142 +zakar > , I beseech <04994 +na> > thee ,
the word <01697 +dabar > that thou commandedst <06680 +tsavah >
thy servant <05650 +<ebed > Moses <04872 +Mosheh > , saying
<00559 +>amar > , [ If ] ye transgress <04603 +ma<al > , I will
scatter <06327 +puwts > you abroad <06327 +puwts > among the
nations <05971 +<am > :
01 : 09 But [ if ] ye turn <07725 +shuwb > unto me , and keep
<08104 +shamar > mycommandments <04687 +mitsvah > , and do
<06213 +<asah > them ; though <00518 +>im > there were of you
cast <05080 +nadach > out unto the uttermost <07097 +qatseh >
part of the heaven <08064 +shamayim > , [ yet ] will I gather
<06908 +qabats > them from thence <08033 +sham > , and will
bring <00935 +bow> > them unto the place <04725 +maqowm > that I
have chosen <00970 +bachuwr > to set <07931 +shakan > my name
<08034 +shem > there <08033 +sham > .
01 : 10 Now these <01992 +hem > [ are ] thy servants <05650
+<ebed > and thy people <05971 +<am > , whom <00834 +>aher >
thou hast redeemed <06299 +padah > by thy great <01419 +gadowl >
power <03581 +koach > , and by thy strong <02389 +chazaq > hand
<03027 +yad > .
01 : 11 O Lord <00136 +>Adonay > , I beseech <00577 +>anna> >
thee , let now <04994 +na> > thine ear <00241 +>ozen > be
attentive <07183 +qashshab > to the prayer <08605 +t@phillah >
of thy servant <05650 +<ebed > , and to the prayer <08605
+t@phillah > of thy servants <05650 +<ebed > , who desire <02655
+chaphets > to fear <03372 +yare> > thy name <08034 +shem > :
and prosper <06743 +tsalach > , I pray <04994 +na> > thee , thy
servant <05650 +<ebed > this day <03117 +yowm > , and grant
<05414 +nathan > him mercy <07356 +racham > in the sight <06440
+paniym > of this <02088 +zeh > man <00376 +>iysh > . For I was
the king s <04428 +melek > cupbearer <04945 +mashqeh > .
02 : 01 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass in the month
<02320 +chodesh > Nisan <05212 +Niycan > , in the twentieth
<06242 +<esriym > year <08141 +shaneh > of Artaxerxes <00783
+>Artachshashta> > the king <04428 +melek > , [ that ] wine
<03196 +yayin > [ was ] before <06440 +paniym > him : and I took
<05375 +nasa> > up the wine <03196 +yayin > , and gave <05414
+nathan > [ it ] unto the king <04428 +melek > . Now I had not
been <01961 +hayah > [ beforetime ] sad <07451 +ra< > in his
presence <06440 +paniym > .
02 : 02 Wherefore the king <04428 +melek > said <00559 +>amar >
unto me , Why <04069 +madduwa< > [ is ] thy countenance <06440
+paniym > sad <07451 +ra< > , seeing thou [ art ] not sick
<02470 +chalah > ? this <02088 +zeh > [ is ] nothing <00369
+>ayin > [ else ] but sorrow <07455 +roa< > of heart <03820 +leb
> . Then I was very <03966 +m@<od > sore <07235 +rabah > afraid
<03372 +yare> > ,
02 : 03 And said <00559 +>amar > unto the king <04428 +melek > ,
Let the king <04428 +melek > live <02421 +chayah > for ever
<05769 +<owlam > : why <04069 +madduwa< > should not my
countenance <06440 +paniym > be sad <07489 +ra<a< > , when
<00834 +>aher > the city <05892 +<iyr > , the place <01004
+bayith > of my fathers <1> sepulchres <06913 +qeber > , [ lieth
] waste <02720 +chareb > , and the gates <08179 +sha<ar >
thereof are consumed <00398 +>akal > with fire <00784 +>esh > ?
02 : 04 Then the king <04428 +melek > said <00559 +>amar > unto
me , For what <04100 +mah > dost thou make request <01245
+baqash > ? So I prayed <06419 +palal > to the God <00430
+>elohiym > of heaven <08064 +shamayim > .
02 : 05 And I said <00559 +>amar > unto the king <04428 +melek >
, If <00518 +>im > it please <02895 +towb > the king <04428
+melek > , and if <00518 +>im > thy servant <05650 +<ebed > have
found favour <03190 +yatab > in thy sight <06440 +paniym > ,
that thou wouldest send <07971 +shalach > me unto Judah <03063
+Y@huwdah > , unto the city <05892 +<iyr > of my fathers <1>
sepulchres <06913 +qeber > , that I may build <01129 +banah > it
.
02 : 06 And the king <04428 +melek > said <00559 +>amar > unto
me , ( the queen <07694 +shegal > also sitting <03427 +yashab >
by him , ) For how <05704 +<ad > long <05704 +<ad > shall thy
