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>. Neh 03:11 Malchijah <04441> the son <01121> of Harim <02766>, and Hashub <02815> the son <01121> of Pahathmoab <06355>, repaired <02388> (8689) the other <08145> piece <04060>, and the tower <04026> of the furnaces <08574>. Neh 03:12 And next unto him <03027> repaired <02388> (8689) Shallum <07967> the son <01121> of Halohesh <03873>, the ruler <08269> of the half <02677> part <06418> of Jerusalem <03389>, he and his daughters <01323>. Neh 03:13 The valley <01516> gate <08179> repaired <02388> (8689) Hanun <02586>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Zanoah <02182>; they built <01129> (8804) it, and set up <05975> (8686) the doors <01817> thereof, the locks <04514> thereof, and the bars <01280> thereof, and a thousand <0505> cubits <0520> on the wall <02346> unto the dung <0830> gate <08179>. Neh 03:14 But the dung <0830> gate <08179> repaired <02388> (8689) Malchiah <04441> the son <01121> of Rechab <07394>, the ruler <08269> of part <06418> of Bethhaccerem <01021>; he built <01129> (8799) it, and set up <05975> (8686) the doors <01817> thereof, the locks <04514> thereof, and the bars <01280> thereof.

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>.

Neh 07:63 And of the priests <03548>: the children <01121> of 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 07:69 Their camels <01581>, four <0702> hundred <03967> thirty <07970> and five <02568>: six <08337> thousand <0505> seven <07651> hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> asses <02543>. 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 10:02 Seraiah <08304>, Azariah <05838>, Jeremiah <03414>, Neh 10:03 Pashur <06583>, Amariah <0568>, Malchijah <04441>, Neh 10:04 Hattush <02407>, Shebaniah <07645>, Malluch <04409>, Neh 10:05 Harim <02766>, Meremoth <04822>, Obadiah <05662>, Neh 10:06 Daniel <01840>, Ginnethon <01599>, Baruch <01263>, Neh 10:07 Meshullam <04918>, Abijah <029>, Mijamin <04326>, Neh 10:08 Maaziah <04590>, Bilgai <01084>, Shemaiah <08098>: these were the priests <03548>.

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 10:38 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 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 12:27 ¶ And at the dedication <02598> of the wall <02346> of Jerusalem <03389> they sought <01245> (8765) the Levites <03881> out of all their places <04725>, to bring <0935> (8687) them to Jerusalem <03389>, to keep <06213> (8800) the dedication <02598> with gladness <08057>, both with thanksgivings <08426>, and with singing <07892>, with cymbals <04700>, psalteries <05035>, and with harps <03658>.

Neh 12:31 Then I brought up <05927> (8686) the princes <08269> of Judah <03063> upon the wall <02346>, and appointed <05975> (8686) two <08147> great <01419> companies of them that gave thanks <08426>, whereof one went <08418> on the right hand <03225> upon the wall <02346> toward the dung <0830> gate <08179>: Neh 12:32 And after <0310> them went <03212> (8799) Hoshaiah <01955>, and half <02677> of the princes <08269> of Judah <03063>, Neh 12:33 And Azariah <05838>, Ezra <05830>, and Meshullam <04918>, Neh 12:34 Judah <03063>, and Benjamin <01144>, and Shemaiah <08098>, and Jeremiah <03414>, Neh 12:35 And certain of the priests <03548>‘ sons <01121> with trumpets <02689>; namely, Zechariah <02148> the son <01121> of Jonathan <03129>, the son <01121> of Shemaiah <08098>, the son <01121> of Mattaniah <04983>, the son <01121> of Michaiah <04320>, the son <01121> of Zaccur <02139>, the son <01121> of Asaph <0623>: Neh 12:36 And his brethren <0251>, Shemaiah <08098>, and Azarael <05832>, Milalai <04450>, Gilalai <01562>, Maai <04597>, Nethaneel <05417>, and Judah <03063>, Hanani <02607>, with the musical <07892> instruments <03627> of David <01732> the man <0376> of God <0430>, and Ezra <05830> the scribe <05608> (8802) before <06440> them. Neh 12:37 And at the fountain <05869> gate <08179>, which was over against them, they went up <05927> (8804) by the stairs <04609> of the city <05892> of David <01732>, at the going up <04608> of the wall <02346>, above the house <01004> of David <01732>, even unto the water <04325> gate <08179> eastward <04217>. Neh 12:38 And the other <08145> company of them that gave thanks <08426> went <01980> (8802) over against <04136> them, and I after <0310> them, and the half <02677> of the people <05971> upon the wall <02346>, from beyond the tower <04026> of the furnaces <08574> even unto the broad <07342> wall <02346>; Neh 12:39 And from above the gate <08179> of Ephraim <0669>, and above the old <03465> gate <08179>, and above the fish <01709> gate <08179>, and the tower <04026> of Hananeel <02606>, and the tower <04026> of Meah <03968>, even unto the sheep <06629> gate <08179>: and they stood still <05975> (8804) in the prison <04307> gate <08179>. Neh 12:40 So stood <05975> (8799) the two <08147> companies of them that gave thanks <08426> in the house <01004> of God <0430>, and I, and the half <02677> of the rulers <05461> with me: Neh 12:41 And the priests <03548>; Eliakim <0471>, Maaseiah <04641>, Miniamin <04509>, Michaiah <04320>, Elioenai <0454>, Zechariah <02148>, and Hananiah <02608>, with trumpets <02689>; Neh 12:42 And Maaseiah <04641>, and Shemaiah <08098>, and Eleazar <0499>, and Uzzi <05813>, and Jehohanan <03076>, and Malchijah <04441>, and Elam <05867>, and Ezer <05829>. And the singers <07891> (8789) sang loud <08085> (8686), with Jezrahiah <03156> their overseer <06496>. Neh 12:43 Also that day <03117> they offered <02076> (8799) great <01419> sacrifices <02077>, and rejoiced <08055> (8799): for God <0430> had made them rejoice <08055> (8765) with great <01419> joy <08057>: the wives <0802> also and the children <03206> rejoiced <08055> (8804): so that the joy <08057> of Jerusalem <03389> was heard <08085> (8735) even afar off <07350>. 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>. ~~~~~~
