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
captivity <07628 +sh@biy > , and concerning <05921 +< al >
Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > .



01 : 03 And they said <00559 +>amar > unto me , The remnant
<07604 +sha>ar > that are left <07604 +sha>ar > of the captivity
<07628 +sh@biy > there <08033 +sham > in the province <04082
+m@diynah > [ are ] in great <01419 +gadowl > affliction <07451
+ra< > and reproach <02781 +cherpah > : the wall < 02346 +chowmah
> of Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > also [ is ] broken <06555
+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
> covenant <01285 +b@riyth > and mercy <02617 +checed > for them
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
journey <04109 +mahalak > be ? and when <04970 +mathay > wilt
thou return <07725 +shuwb > ? So it pleased <03190 +yatab > the
king <04428 +melek > to send <07971 +shalach > me ; and I set
<05414 +nathan > him a time <02165 +z@man > .



02 : 07 Moreover I said <00559 +>amar > unto the king <04428
+melek > , If it please <02895 +towb > the king < 04428 +melek > ,
let letters <00107 +>iggereth > be given <05414 +nathan > me to
the governors <06346 +pechah > beyond <05676 +<eber > the river
<05104 +nahar > , that they may convey <05674 +<abar > me over
<05674 +<abar > till <05704 +<ad > I come < 00935 +bow> > into
<00413 +>el > Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > ;



02 : 08 And a letter <00107 +>iggereth > unto Asaph < 00623
+>Acaph > the keeper <8104shamar > of the king s < 04428 +melek >
forest <06508 +pardec > , that he may give <05414 +nathan > me
timber <06086 +<ets > to make beams <07136 +qarah > for the
gates <08179 +sha<ar > of the palace <01002 +biyrah > which
<00834 +>aher > [ appertained ] to the house <01004 +bayith > ,
and for the wall <02346 +chowmah > of the city <05892 +<iyr > ,
and for the house <01004 +bayith > that I shall enter < 00935
+bow> > into <05921 +<al > . And the king < 04428 +melek >
granted <05414 +nathan > me , according to the good < 02896 +towb
> hand <03027 +yad > of my God <00430 +>elohiym > upon me .



02 : 09 . Then I came <00935 +bow> > to the governors <06346
+pechah > beyond <05676 +<eber > the river <05104 +nahar > , and
gave <05414 +nathan > them the king s <04428 +melek > letters
<00107 +>iggereth > . Now the king <04428 +melek > had sent
<07971 +shalach > captains <08269 +sar > of the army <02428
+chayil > and horsemen <06571 +parash > with me .



02 : 10 When Sanballat <05571 +Canballat > the Horonite < 02772
+Choroniy > , and Tobiah <02900 +Towbiyah > the servant <05650
+<ebed > , the Ammonite <05984 +<Ammowniy > , heard <08085
+shama< > [ of it ] , it grieved <07489 +ra<a< > them
exceedingly <01419 +gadowl > that there was come <00935 +bow> >
a man <00120 +>adam > to seek <01245 +baqash > the welfare
<02896 +towb > of the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478
+Yisra>el >

.



02 : 11 So I came <00935 +bow> > to Jerusalem <03389
+Y@ruwshalaim > , and was there <08033 +sham > three < 07969
+shalowsh > days <03117 +yowm > .



02 : 12 And I arose <06965 +quwm > in the night <03915 +layil > ,
I and some <04592 +m@<at > few <04592 +m@<at > men <00582
+>enowsh > with me ; neither <03808 +lo> > told <05046 +nagad >
I [ any ] man <00120 +>adam > what <04100 +mah > my God <00430
+>elohiym > had put <05414 +nathan > in my heart < 03820 +leb >
to do <06213 +<asah > at Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > :
neither <00369 +>ayin > [ was there any ] beast < 00929 +b@hemah
> with me , save the beast <00929 +b@hemah > that I rode <07392
+rakab > upon .



02 : 13 And I went <03318 +yatsa> > out by night < 03915 +layil >
by the gate <08179 +sha<ar > of the valley <01516 +gay> > , even
before the dragon <08577 +tanniyn > well <02869 +tab > , and to
the dung <00830 +>ashpoth > port <08179 +sha<ar > , and viewed
<07663 +sabar > the walls <02346 +chowmah > of Jerusalem <03389
+Y@ruwshalaim > , which <00834 +>aher > were broken <06555
+parats > down , and the gates <08179 +sha<ar > thereof were
consumed <00398 +>akal > with fire <00784 +>esh > .



02 : 14 Then I went <05674 +<abar > on <00413 +>el > to the gate
<08179 +sha<ar > of the fountain <05869 +<ayin > , and to the
king s <04428 +melek > pool <01295 +b@rekah > : but [ there was
] no <00369 +>ayin > place <04725 +maqowm > for the beast <00929
+b@hemah > [ that was ] under <08478 +tachath > me to pass
<05674 +<abar > .



02 : 15 Then went <05927 +<alah > I up in the night < 03915
+layil > by the brook <05158 +nachal > , and viewed < 07663
+sabar > the wall <02346 +chowmah > , and turned < 07725 +shuwb >
back <07725 +shuwb > , and entered <00935 +bow> > by the gate
<08179 +sha<ar > of the valley <01516 +gay> > , and [ so ]
returned <07725 +shuwb > .



02 : 16 And the rulers <05461 +cagan > knew <03045 +yada< > not
whither <00575 +>an > I went <01980 +halak > , or what <04100
+mah > I did <06213 +<asah > ; neither <03808 +lo> > had I as
yet told <05046 +nagad > [ it ] to the Jews <03064 +Y@huwdiy > ,
nor to the priests <03548 +kohen > , nor to the nobles < 02715
+chor > , nor to the rulers <05461 +cagan > , nor to the rest
<03499 +yether > that did <06213 +<asah > the work <04399
+m@la>kah > .



02 : 17 Then said <00559 +>amar > I unto them , Ye see <07200
+ra>ah > the distress <07451 +ra< > that we [ are ] in , how
<00834 +>aher > Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > [ lieth ] waste
<02720 +chareb > , and the gates <08179 +sha<ar > thereof are
burned <03341 +yatsath > with fire <00784 +>esh > : come <03212
+yalak > , and let us build <01129 +banah > up the wall <02346
+chowmah > of Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > , that we be no
<03808 +lo> > more <05720 +<Adiyn > a reproach <02781 +cherpah >

.



02 : 18 Then I told <05046 +nagad > them of the hand < 03027 +yad
> of my God <00430 +>elohiym > which <00834 +> aher > was good
<02896 +towb > upon me ; as also <00637 +>aph > the king s
<04428 +melek > words <01697 +dabar > that he had spoken <00559
+>amar > unto me

. And they said <00559 +>amar > , Let us rise < 06965 +quwm >
up

and build <01129 +banah > . So they strengthened <02388 +chazaq
> their hands <03027 +yad > for [ this ] good <02896 +towb > [
work ] .



02 : 19 But when Sanballat <05571 +Canballat > the Horonite
<02772 +Choroniy > , and Tobiah <02900 +Towbiyah > the servant
<05650 +<ebed > , the Ammonite <05984 +<Ammowniy > , and Geshem
<01654 +Geshem > the Arabian <06163 +<Arabiy > , heard <08085
+shama< > [ it ] , they laughed <03932 +la<ag > us to scorn ,
and despised <00959 +bazah > us , and said <00559 +> amar > ,
What <04100 +mah > [ is ] this <02088 +zeh > thing <01697 +dabar
> that ye do <06213 +<asah > ? will ye rebel < 04775 +marad >
against <05921 +<al > the king <04428 +melek > ?



02 : 20 Then answered <01697 +dabar > I them , and said < 00559
+>amar > unto them , The God <00430 +>elohiym > of heaven <08064
+shamayim > , he will prosper <06743 +tsalach > us ; therefore
we his servants <05650 +<ebed > will arise <06965 +quwm > and
build <01129 +banah > : but ye have no <00369 +>ayin > portion
<02506 +cheleq > , nor right <06666 +ts@daqah > , nor memorial
<02146 +zikrown > , in Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > .



03 : 01 . Then Eliashib <00475 +>Elyashiyb > the high <01419
+gadowl > priest <03548 +kohen > rose <06965 +quwm > up with his
brethren <00251 +>ach > the priests <03548 +kohen > , and they
builded <01129 +banah > the sheep <06629 +tso>n > gate <08179
+sha<ar > ; they sanctified <06942 +qadash > it , and set <05975
+<amad > up the doors <01817 +deleth > of it ; even unto the
tower <04026 +migdal > of Meah <03968 +Me>ah > they sanctified
<06942 +qadash > it , unto the tower <04026 +migdal > of
Hananeel <02606 +Chanan>el > .



03 : 02 And next unto him builded <01129 +banah > the men <00582
+>enowsh > of Jericho <03405 +Y@riychow > . And next to them
builded <01129 +banah > Zaccur <02139 +Zakkuwr > the son <01121
+ben > of Imri <00556 +>amtsah > .



03 : 03 But the fish <01709 +dag > gate <08179 +sha< ar > did the
sons <01121 +ben > of Hassenaah <05574 +C@nuw>ah > build <01129
+banah > , who <01992 +hem > [ also ] laid the beams < 07136
+qarah > thereof , and set <05975 +<amad > up the doors <01817
+deleth > thereof , the locks <04514 +man<uwl > thereof , and
the bars <01280 +b@riyach > thereof .



03 : 04 And next unto them repaired <02388 +chazaq > Meremoth
<04822 +M@remowth > the son <01121 +ben > of Urijah <00223
+>Uwriyah > , the son <01121 +ben > of Koz <06976 +Qowts > .
And next unto them repaired <02388 +chazaq > Meshullam < 04918
+M@shullam > the son <01121 +ben > of Berechiah < 01296 +Berekyah

And next unto them repaired <02388 +chazaq > Zadok < 06659
+Tsadowq > the son <01121 +ben > of Baana <01195 +Ba<ana> > .



03 : 05 And next unto them the Tekoites <08621 +T@qow<iy >
repaired <02388 +chazaq > ; but their nobles <00117 +> addiyr >
put <00935 +bow> > not their necks <06677 +tsavva> r > to the
work <05656 +<abodah > of their Lord <00113 +> adown > .



03 : 06 Moreover the old <03465 +yashan > gate <08179 +sha<ar >
repaired <02388 +chazaq > Jehoiada <03111 +Yowyada< > the son
<01121 +ben > of Paseah <06454 +Paceach > , and Meshullam <04918
+M@shullam > the son <01121 +ben > of Besodeiah < 01152
+B@cowd@yah > ; they laid the beams <07136 +qarah > thereof ,
and set <05975 +<amad > up the doors <01817 +deleth > thereof ,
and the locks <04514 +man<uwl > thereof , and the bars <01280
+b@riyach > thereof .



03 : 07 And next unto them repaired <02388 +chazaq > Melatiah

<03027 +yad > wrought <06213 +<asah > in the work <04399
+m@la>kah > , and with the other <00259 +>echad > [ hand ] held
<02388 +chazaq > a weapon <07973 +shelach > .



04 : 18 For the builders <01129 +banah > , every <00376 +>iysh >
one <00376 +>iysh > had his sword <02719 +chereb > girded <00631
+>acar > by his side <04975 +mothen > , and [ so ] builded
<01129 +banah > . And he that sounded <08628 +taqa< > the
trumpet <07782 +showphar > [ was ] by me .



04 : 19 And I said <00559 +>amar > unto the nobles < 02715 +chor

+yether > of the people <05971 +<am > , The work < 04399
+m@la>kah > [ is ] great <07235 +rabah > and large <07342
+rachab > , and we are separated <06504 +parad > upon the wall
<02346 +chowmah > , one far <07350 +rachowq > from another
<00250 +>Ezrachiy > .



04 : 20 In what <00834 +>aher > place <04725 +maqowm > [
therefore ] ye hear <08085 +shama< > the sound <06963 +qowl > of
the trumpet <07782 +showphar > , resort <06908 +qabats > ye
thither <08033 +sham > unto us : our God <00430 +> elohiym >
shall fight <03898 +lacham > for us .



04 : 21 So we laboured <06213 +<asah > in the work < 04399
+m@la>kah > : and half <02677 +chetsiy > of them held <02388
+chazaq > the spears <07420 +romach > from the rising <05927
+<alah > of the morning <07837 +shachar > till < 05704 +<ad > the
stars <03556 +kowkab > appeared <03318 +yatsa> > .



04 : 22 Likewise <01571 +gam > at the same <01931 +huw> > time
<06256 +<eth > said <00559 +>amar > I unto the people <05971
+<am > , Let every <00376 +>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh > with his
servant <05650 +<ebed > lodge <03885 +luwn > within <08432
+tavek > Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > , that in the night
<03915 +layil > they may be a guard <04929 +mishmar > to us ,
and labour <04399 +m@la>kah > on the day <03117 +yowm > .



04 : 23 So neither <00369 +>ayin > I , nor my brethren <00251
+>ach > , nor my servants <05288 +na<ar > , nor the men <00582
+>enowsh > of the guard <04929 +mishmar > which < 00834 +>aher >
followed <00310 +>achar > me , none <00369 +>ayin > of us put
<06584 +pashat > off our clothes <00899 +beged > , [ saving that
] every <00376 +>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh > put <07973 +shelach
> them off for washing <04325 +mayim > .



05 : 01 . And there was a great <01419 +gadowl > cry < 06818
+tsa<aqah > of the people <05971 +<am > and of their wives
<00802 +>ishshah > against <00413 +>el > their brethren <00251
+>ach > the Jews <03064 +Y@huwdiy > .



05 : 02 For there were that said <00559 +>amar > , We , our sons
<01121 +ben > , and our daughters <01121 +ben > , [ are ] many
<07227 +rab > : therefore we take <03947 +laqach > up corn
<01715 +dagan > [ for them ] , that we may eat <00398 +>akal > ,
and live <02421 +chayah > .



05 : 03 [ Some ] also there were that said <00559 +>amar > , We
have mortgaged <06148 +<arab > our lands <07704 +sadeh > ,
vineyards <03754 +kerem > , and houses <01004 +bayith > , that
we might buy <03947 +laqach > corn <01715 +dagan > , because of
the dearth <07458 +ra<ab > .



05 : 04 There were also that said <00559 +>amar > , We have
borrowed <03867 +lavah > money <03701 +keceph > for the king s
<04428 +melek > tribute <04060 +middah > , [ and that upon ] our
lands <07704 +sadeh > and vineyards <03754 +kerem > .



05 : 05 Yet now <06258 +<attah > our flesh <01320 +basar > [ is
] as the flesh <01320 +basar > of our brethren <00251 +>ach > ,
our children <01121 +ben > as their children <01121 +ben > : and
, lo <02009 +hinneh > , we bring <03533 +kabash > into bondage
<03533 +kabash > our sons <01121 +ben > and our daughters <01121
+ben > to be servants <05650 +<ebed > , and [ some ] of our
daughters <01121 +ben > are brought <03533 +kabash > unto
bondage <03533 +kabash > [ already ] : neither <00369 +>ayin > [
is it ] in our power <03027 +yad > [ to redeem them ] ; for
other <00312 +>acher > men <00582 +>enowsh > have our lands
<07704 +sadeh > and vineyards <03754 +kerem > .



05 : 06 . And I was very <03966 +m@<od > angry < 02734 +charah >
when <00834 +>aher > I heard <08085 +shama< > their cry <02201
+za<aq > and these <00428 +>el - leh > words < 01697 +dabar > .



05 : 07 Then I consulted <04427 +malak > with myself , and I
rebuked <07378 +riyb > the nobles <02715 +chor > , and the
rulers <05461 +cagan > , and said <00559 +>amar > unto them , Ye
exact <05378 +nasha> > usury <05383 +nashah > , every <00376
+>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh > of his brother < 00251 +>ach > .
And I set <05414 +nathan > a great <01419 +gadowl > assembly
<06952 +q@hillah > against <05921 +<al > them .



05 : 08 And I said <00559 +>amar > unto them , We after <01767
+day > our ability <01767 +day > have redeemed <07069 +qanah >
our brethren <00251 +>ach > the Jews <03064 +Y@huwdiy > , which
were sold <04376 +makar > unto the heathen <01471 +gowy > ; and
will ye even <01571 +gam > sell <04376 +makar > your brethren
<00251 +>ach > ? or shall they be sold <04376 +makar > unto us
? Then held <02790 +charash > they their peace <02790 +charash
> , and found <04672 +matsa> > nothing <03808 +lo> > [ to answer
<01696 +dabar > ] .



05 : 09 Also I said <00559 +>amar > , It [ is ] not good <02896
+towb > that ye do <06213 +<asah > : ought ye not to walk <03212
+yalak > in the fear <03374 +yir>ah > of our God < 00430
+>elohiym > because of the reproach <02781 +cherpah > of the
heathen <01471 +gowy > our enemies <00341 +>oyeb > ?



05 : 10 I likewise <01571 +gam > , [ and ] my brethren < 00251
+>ach > , and my servants <05288 +na<ar > , might exact <05383
+nashah > of them money <03701 +keceph > and corn < 01715 +dagan
> : I pray <04994 +na> > you , let us leave <05800 +<azab > off
this <02088 +zeh > usury <05383 +nashah > .



05 : 11 Restore <07725 +shuwb > , I pray <04994 +na> > you , to
them , even this day <03117 +yowm > , their lands <07704 +sadeh

+zayith > , and their houses <01004 +bayith > , also the
hundredth <03967 +me>ah > [ part ] of the money < 03701 +keceph >
, and of the corn <01715 +dagan > , the wine <08492 +tiyrowsh > ,
and the oil <03323 +yitshar > , that ye exact <05383 +nashah >
of them .



05 : 12 Then said <00559 +>amar > they , We will restore <07725
+shuwb > [ them ] , and will require <01245 +baqash > nothing
<03808 +lo> > of them ; so <03651 +ken > will we do <06213
+<asah > as thou sayest <00559 +>amar > . Then I called <07121
+qara> > the priests <03548 +kohen > , and took an oath <07650
+shaba< > of them , that they should do <06213 +<asah >
according to this <02088 +zeh > promise <01697 +dabar > .



05 : 13 Also <01571 +gam > I shook <05287 +na<ar > my lap <02684
+chotsen > , and said<00559 +>amar > , So <03602 +kakah > God
<00430 +>elohiym > shake <05287 +na<ar > out every man <00376
+>iysh > from his house <01004 +bayith > , and from his labour
<03018 +y@giya< > , that performeth <06965 +quwm > not this
<02088 +zeh > promise <01697 +dabar > , even < 03602 +kakah >
thus <03602 +kakah > be he shaken <05287 +na<ar > out , and
emptied <07386 +reyq > . And all <03605 +kol > the congregation
<06951 +qahal > said <00559 +>amar > , Amen < 00543 +>amen > ,
and praised <01984 +halal > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > . And
the people <05971 +<am > did <06213 +<asah > according to this
<02088 +zeh > promise <01697 +dabar > .



05 : 14 . Moreover <01571 +gam > from the time <03117 +yowm >
that I was appointed <06680 +tsavah > to be their governor
<06346 +pechah > in the land <00776 +>erets > of Judah <03063
+Y@huwdah > , from the twentieth <06242 +<esriym > year <08141
+shaneh > even unto the two <08147 +sh@nayim > and thirtieth
<07970 +sh@lowshiym > year <08141 +shaneh > of Artaxerxes <00783
+>Artachshashta> > the king <04428 +melek > , [ that is ] ,
twelve years <08141 +shaneh > , I and my brethren <00251 +>ach >
have not eaten <00398 +>akal > the bread <03899 +lechem > of the
governor <06346 +pechah > .



05 : 15 But the former <07223 +ri>shown > governors < 06346
+pechah > that [ had been ] before <06440 +paniym > me were
chargeable <03513 +kabad > unto the people <05971 +< am > , and
had taken <03947 +laqach > of them bread <03899 +lechem > and
wine <03196 +yayin > , beside <00310 +>achar > forty <00705
+>arba<iym > shekels <08255 +sheqel > of silver <03701 +keceph >
; yea <01571 +gam > , even their servants <05288 +na< ar > bare
<07980 +shalat > rule <07980 +shalat > over <05921 +<al > the
people <05971 +<am > : but so <03651 +ken > did <06213 +<asah >
not I , because <06440 +paniym > of the fear <03374 +yir>ah > of
God <00430 +>elohiym > .



05 : 16 Yea <01571 +gam > , also <01571 +gam > I continued
<02388 +chazaq > in the work <04399 +m@la>kah > of this <02063
+zo>th > wall <02346 +chowmah > , neither <03808 +lo> > bought
<07069 +qanah > we any land <07704 +sadeh > : and all <03605
+kol > my servants <05288 +na<ar > [ were ] gathered <06908
+qabats > thither <08033 +sham > unto the work <04399 +m@la>kah

05 : 17 Moreover [ there were ] at <05921 +<al > my table <07979
+shulchan > an hundred <03967 +me>ah > and fifty < 02572
+chamishshiym > of the Jews <03064 +Y@huwdiy > and rulers <05461
+cagan > , beside those that came <00935 +bow> > unto us from
among <04480 +min > the heathen <01471 +gowy > that [ are ]
about us .



05 : 18 Now [ that ] which <00834 +>aher > was prepared <06213
+<asah > [ for me ] daily [ was ] one <00259 +>echad > ox <07794
+showr > [ and ] six <08337 +shesh > choice <01305 +barar >
sheep <06629 +tso>n > ; also fowls <06833 +tsippowr > were
prepared <06213 +<asah > for me , and once <00996 +beyn > in ten
<06235 +<eser > days <03117 +yowm > store < 07235 +rabah > of all
<03605 +kol > sorts of wine <03196 +yayin > : yet for all <05973
+<im > this <02088 +zeh > required <01245 +baqash > not I the
bread <03899 +lechem > of the governor <06346 +pechah > ,
because <03588 +kiy > the bondage <05656 +<abodah > was heavy
<03513 +kabad > upon this <02088 +zeh > people < 05971 +<am > .



05 : 19 Think <02142 +zakar > upon me , my God <00430 +>elohiym

that I have done <06213 +<asah > for this <02088 +zeh > people
<05971 +<am > .



06 : 01 . Now it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when < 00834
+>aher > Sanballat <05571 +Canballat > , and Tobiah <02900
+Towbiyah > , and Geshem <01654 +Geshem > the Arabian <06163
+<Arabiy > , and the rest <03499 +yether > of our enemies <00341
+>oyeb > , heard <08085 +shama< > that I had builded <01129
+banah > the wall <02346 +chowmah > , and [ that ] there was no
<03808 +lo> > breach <06556 +perets > left < 03498 +yathar >
therein ; ( though at <05704 +<ad > that time <06256 +<eth > I
had not set <05975 +<amad > up the doors <01817 +deleth > upon
the gates <08179 +sha<ar > ; )



06 : 02 That Sanballat <05571 +Canballat > and Geshem < 01654
+Geshem > sent <07971 +shalach > unto me , saying < 00559 +>amar

<03162 +yachad > in [ some one of ] the villages <03715 +k@phiyr

they thought <02803 +chashab > to do <06213 +<asah > me mischief
<07451 +ra< > .



06 : 03 And I sent <07971 +shalach > messengers <04397 +mal>ak >
unto them , saying <00559 +>amar > , I [ am ] doing < 06213
+<asah > a great <01419 +gadowl > work <04399 +m@la>kah > , so
that I cannot <00369 +>ayin > come <03381 +yarad > down <03381
+yarad > : why <04100 +mah > should the work <04399 +m@la>kah >
cease <07673 +shabath > , whilst <00834 +>aher > I leave <07503
+raphah > it , and come <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > to
you ?



06 : 04 Yet they sent <07971 +shalach > unto me four < 00702
+>arba< > times <06471 +pa<am > after this < 02088 +zeh > sort
<01697 +dabar > ; and I answered <07725 +shuwb > them after the
same <02088 +zeh > manner <01697 +dabar > .



06 : 05 Then sent <07971 +shalach > Sanballat <05571 +Canballat

manner <01697 +dabar > the fifth <02549 +chamiyshiy > time
<06471 +pa<am > with an open <06605 +pathach > letter <00107
+>iggereth > in his hand <03027 +yad > ;



06 : 06 Wherein [ was ] written <03789 +kathab > , It is
reported <08085 +shama< > among the heathen <01471 +gowy > , and
Gashmu <01654 +Geshem > saith <00559 +>amar > [ it , that ] thou
and the Jews <03064 +Y@huwdiy > think <02803 +chashab > to rebel
<04775 +marad > : for which <03651 +ken > cause thou buildest
<01129 +banah > the wall <02346 +chowmah > , that thou mayest be
their king <04428 +melek > , according to these <00428 +>el -
leh > words <01697 +dabar > .



06 : 07 And thou hast also <01571 +gam > appointed < 05975 +<amad

Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > , saying <00559 +> amar > , [
There is ] a king <04428 +melek > in Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > :
and now <06258 +<attah > shall it be reported <08085 +shama< >
to the king <04428 +melek > according to these <00428 +>el - leh

+<attah > therefore , and let us take counsel <03289 +ya<ats >
together <03162 +yachad > .



06 : 08 Then I sent <07971 +shalach > unto him , saying < 00559
+>amar > , There are no <03808 +lo> > such < 00428 +>el - leh >
things <01697 +dabar > done as thou sayest <00559 +> amar > , but
thou feignest <00908 +bada> > them out of thine own heart <03820
+leb > .



06 : 09 For they all <03605 +kol > made us afraid <03372 +yare>

weakened <07503 +raphah > from the work <04399 +m@la> kah > ,
that it be not done <06213 +<asah > . Now <06258 +<attah >
therefore , [ O God ] , strengthen <02388 +chazaq > my hands
<03027 +yad > .



06 : 10 . Afterward I came <00935 +bow> > unto the house <01004
+bayith > of Shemaiah <08098 +Sh@ma<yah > the son < 01121 +ben >
of Delaiah <01806 +D@layah > the son <01121 +ben > of Mehetabeel
<04105 +M@heytab>el > , who <01931 +huw> > [ was ] shut <06113
+<atsar > up ; and he said <00559 +>amar > , Let us meet <03259
+ya<ad > together in the house <01004 +bayith > of God <00430
+>elohiym > , within <08432 +tavek > the temple < 01964 +heykal >
, and let us shut <05462 +cagar > the doors <01817 +deleth > of
the temple <01964 +heykal > : for they will come <00935 +bow> >
to slay <02026 +harag > thee ; yea , in the night <03915 +layil
> will they come <00935 +bow> > to slay <02026 +harag > thee .



06 : 11 And I said <00559 +>amar > , Should such < 03644 +k@mow >
a man <00376 +>iysh > as I flee <01272 +barach > ? and who
<04310 +miy > [ is there ] , that , [ being ] as I [ am ] ,
would go <00935 +bow> > into <00413 +>el > the temple <01964
+heykal > to save <02425 +chayay > his life <02425 +chayay > ?
I will not go <00935 +bow> > in .



06 : 12 And , lo <02009 +hinneh > , I perceived <05234 +nakar >
that God <00430 +>elohiym > had not sent <07971 +shalach > him ;
but that he pronounced <01696 +dabar > this prophecy < 05016
+n@buw>ah > against <05921 +<al > me : for Tobiah <02900
+Towbiyah > and Sanballat <05571 +Canballat > had hired <07936
+sakar > him

.



06 : 13 Therefore [ was ] he hired <07936 +sakar > , that I
should be afraid <03372 +yare> > , and do <06213 +< asah > so
<03651 +ken > , and sin <02398 +chata> > , and [ that ] they
might have [ matter ] for an evil <07451 +ra< > report <08034
+shem > , that they might reproach <02778 +charaph . > me .



06 : 14 My God <00430 +>elohiym > , think <02142 +zakar > thou
upon Tobiah <02900 +Towbiyah > and Sanballat <05571 +Canballat >
according to these <00428 +>el - leh > their works < 04639
+ma<aseh > , and on the prophetess <05031 +n@biy>ah > Noadiah
<05129 +Now<adyah > , and the rest <03499 +yether > of the
prophets <05030 +nabiy> > , that would have put me in fear
<03372 +yare> >

.



06 : 15 . So the wall <02346 +chowmah > was finished < 07999
+shalam > in the twenty <06242 +<esriym > and fifth <02568
+chamesh > [ day ] of [ the month ] Elul <00435 +>Eluwl > , in
fifty <02572 +chamishshiym > and two <08147 +sh@nayim > days
<03117 +yowm > .



06 : 16 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , that when < 00834
+>aher > all <03605 +kol > our enemies <00341 +> oyeb > heard
<08085 +shama< > [ thereof ] , and all <03605 +kol > the heathen

host <06635 +tsaba> > of heaven <08064 +shamayim > worshippeth
<07812 +shachah > thee .



09 : 07 Thou [ art ] the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > the God < 00430
+>elohiym > , who <00834 +>aher > didst choose < 00977 +bachar >
Abram <87> , and broughtest <03318 +yatsa> > him forth <03318

+Kasdiy > , and gavest <07760 +suwm > him the name < 08034 +shem

09 : 08 And foundest <04372 +mikceh > his heart <03824 +lebab >
faithful <00539 +>aman > before <06440 +paniym > thee , and
madest <03772 +karath > a covenant <01285 +b@riyth > with him to
give <05414 +nathan > the land <00776 +>erets > of the
Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > , the Hittites <02850 +Chittiy > ,
the Amorites <00567 +>Emoriy > , and the Perizzites < 06522
+P@rizziy > , and the Jebusites <02983 +Yebuwciy > , and the
Girgashites <01622 +Girgashiy > , to give <05414 +nathan > [ it ,
I say ] , to his seed <02233 +zera< > , and hast performed
<06965 +quwm > thy words <01697 +dabar > ; for thou [ art ]
righteous <06662 +tsaddiyq > :



09 : 09 And didst see <07200 +ra>ah > the affliction < 06040
+<oniy > of our fathers <1> in Egypt <04714 +Mitsrayim > , and
heardest <08085 +shama< > their cry <02201 +za<aq > by the Red
<05488 +cuwph > sea <03220 +yam > ;



09 : 10 And shewedst <05414 +nathan > signs <00226 +> owth > and
wonders <04159 +mowpheth > upon Pharaoh <06547 +Par< oh > , and
on all <03605 +kol > his servants <05650 +<ebed > , and on all
<03605 +kol > the people <05971 +<am > of his land <00776
+>erets > : for thou knewest <03045 +yada< > that they dealt
proudly <02102 +zuwd > against <05921 +<al > them . So didst
thou get <06213 +<asah > thee a name <08034 +shem > , as [ it is
] this <02088 +zeh > day <03117 +yowm > .



09 : 11 And thou didst divide <01234 +baqa< > the sea <03220
+yam > before <06440 +paniym > them , so that they went <05674
+<abar > through <08432 +tavek > the midst <08432 +tavek > of
the sea <03220 +yam > on the dry <03004 +yabbashah > land ; and
their persecutors <07291 +radaph > thou threwest <07993 +shalak

mighty <05794 +<az > waters <04325 +mayim > .



09 : 12 Moreover thou leddest <05148 +nachah > them in the day
<03119 +yowmam > by a cloudy <06051 +<anan > pillar <05982
+<ammuwd > ; and in the night <03915 +layil > by a pillar <05982

+>owr > in the way <01870 +derek > wherein <00834 +>aher > they
should go <03212 +yalak > .



09 : 13 Thou camest <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > also
upon mount <02022 +har > Sinai <05514 +Ciynay > , and spakest
<01696 +dabar > with them from heaven <08064 +shamayim > , and
gavest <05414 +nathan > them right <03477 +yashar > judgments
<04941 +mishpat > , and true <00571 +>emeth > laws <08451
+towrah > , good <02896 +towb > statutes <02706 +choq > and
commandments <04687 +mitsvah > :



09 : 14 And madest <03045 +yada< > known <03045 +yada< > unto
them thy holy <06944 +qodesh > sabbath <07676 +shabbath > , and
commandedst <06680 +tsavah > them precepts <04687 +mitsvah > ,
statutes <02706 +choq > , and laws <08451 +towrah > , by the
hand <03027 +yad > of Moses <04872 +Mosheh > thy servant <05650
+<ebed > :



09 : 15 And gavest <05414 +nathan > them bread <03899 +lechem >
from heaven <08064 +shamayim > for their hunger <07457 +ra<eb > ,
and broughtest <03318 +yatsa> > forth <03318 +yatsa> > water
<04325 +mayim > for them out of the rock <05553 +cela< > for
their thirst <06772 +tsama> > , and promisedst <00559 +>amar >
them that they should go <00935 +bow> > in to possess <03423
+yarash > the land <00776 +>erets > which <00834 +>aher > thou
hadst sworn <05375 +nasa> > to give <05414 +nathan > them .



09 : 16 But they and our fathers <1> dealt proudly < 02102 +zuwd

and hearkened <08085 +shama< > not to thy commandments <04687
+mitsvah > ,



09 : 17 And refused <03985 +ma>en > to obey <08085 +shama< > ,
neither <03808 +lo> > were mindful <02142 +zakar > of thy
wonders <06381 +pala> > that thou didst <06213 +< asah > among
<05973 +<im > them ; but hardened <07185 +qashah > their necks
<06203 +<oreph > , and in their rebellion <04805 +m@riy >
appointed <05414 +nathan > a captain <07218 +ro>sh > to return
<07725 +shuwb > to their bondage <05659 +<abduwth > : but thou [
art ] a God <00430 +>elohiym > ready to pardon <05547 +c@liychah

slow <00750 +>arek > to anger <00639 +>aph > , and of great
<07227 +rab > kindness <02617 +checed > , and forsookest <05800
+<azab > them not .



09 : 18 Yea <00637 +>aph > , when <03588 +kiy > they had made
<06213 +<asah > them a molten <04541 +maccekah > calf <05695
+<egel > , and said <00559 +>amar > , This < 02088 +zeh > [ is ]
thy God <00430 +>elohiym > that brought <05927 +< alah > thee up
out of Egypt <04714 +Mitsrayim > , and had wrought < 06213 +<asah
> great <01419 +gadowl > provocations <05007 +n@> atsah > ;



09 : 19 Yet thou in thy manifold <07227 +rab > mercies < 07356
+racham > forsookest <05800 +<azab > them not in the wilderness
<04057 +midbar > : the pillar <05982 +<ammuwd > of the cloud
<06051 +<anan > departed <05493 +cuwr > not from them by day
<03119 +yowmam > , to lead <05148 +nachah > them in the way
<01870 +derek > ; neither the pillar <05982 +<ammuwd > of fire
<00784 +>esh > by night <03915 +layil > , to shew them light
<00216 +>owr > , and the way <01870 +derek > wherein <00834
+>aher > they should go <03212 +yalak > .



09 : 20 Thou gavest <05414 +nathan > also thy good < 02896 +towb
> spirit <07307 +ruwach > to instruct <07919 +sakal > them , and
withheldest <04513 +mana< > not thy manna <04478 +man > from
their mouth <06310 +peh > , and gavest <05414 +nathan > them
water <04325 +mayim > for their thirst <06772 +tsama> > .



09 : 21 Yea , forty <00705 +>arba<iym > years < 08141 +shaneh >
didst thou sustain <03557 +kuwl > them in the wilderness <04057
+midbar > , [ so that ] they lacked <02637 +chacer > nothing
<03808 +lo> > ; their clothes <08008 +salmah > waxed not old
<01086 +balah > , and their feet <07272 +regel > swelled <01216
+batseq > not .



09 : 22 Moreover thou gavest <05414 +nathan > them kingdoms
<04467 +mamlakah > and nations <05971 +<am > , and didst divide
<02505 +chalaq > them into corners <06285 +pe>ah > : so they
possessed <03423 +yarash > the land <00776 +>erets > of Sihon
<05511 +Ciychown > , and the land <00776 +>erets > of the king
<04428 +melek > of Heshbon <02809 +Cheshbown > , and the land
<00776 +>erets > of Og <05747 +<Owg > king < 04428 +melek > of
Bashan <01316 +Bashan > .



09 : 23 Their children <01121 +ben > also multipliedst < 07235
+rabah > thou as the stars <03556 +kowkab > of heaven <08064
+shamayim > , and broughtest <00935 +bow> > them into <00413
+>el > the land <00776 +>erets > , concerning which <00834
+>aher > thou hadst promised <00559 +>amar > to their fathers
<1> , that they should go <00935 +bow> > in to possess <03423
+yarash > [ it ] .



09 : 24 So the children <01121 +ben > went <00935 +bow> > in and
possessed <03423 +yarash > the land <00776 +>erets > , and thou
subduedst <03665 +kana< > before <06440 +paniym > them the
inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of the land <00776 +> erets > , the
Canaanites <03669 +K@na<aniy > , and gavest <05414 +nathan >
them into their hands <03027 +yad > , with their kings < 04428
+melek > , and the people <05971 +<am > of the land <00776
+>erets > , that they might do <06213 +<asah > with them as they
would .



09 : 25 And they took <03920 +lakad > strong <01219 +batsar >
cities <05892 +<iyr > , and a fat <08082 +shamen > land <00127
+>adamah > , and possessed <03423 +yarash > houses <01004
+bayith > full <04392 +male> > of all <03605 +kol > goods <02898
+tuwb > , wells <00953 +bowr > digged <02672 +chatsab > ,
vineyards <03754 +kerem > , and oliveyards <02132 +zayith > ,
and fruit <03978 +ma>akal > trees <06086 +<ets > in abundance
<07230 +rob > : so they did eat <00398 +>akal > , and were
filled <07646 +saba< > , and became <08080 +shaman > fat <08082
+shamen > , and delighted <05727 +<adan > themselves in thy
great <01419 +gadowl > goodness <02898 +tuwb > .



09 : 26 Nevertheless they were disobedient <04784 +marah > , and
rebelled <04775 +marad > against thee , and cast <07993 +shalak
> thy law <08451 +towrah > behind <00310 +>achar > their backs
<01458 +gav > , and slew <02026 +harag > thy prophets <05030
+nabiy> > which <00834 +>aher > testified < 05749 +<uwd > against
them to turn <07725 +shuwb > them to thee , and they wrought
<06213 +<asah > great <01419 +gadowl > provocations <05007
+n@>atsah > .



09 : 27 Therefore thou deliveredst <05414 +nathan > them into
the hand <03027 +yad > of their enemies <06862 +tsar > , who
vexed <06887 +tsarar > them : and in the time <06256 +<eth > of
their trouble <06869 +tsarah > , when they cried <06817 +tsa<aq
> unto thee , thou heardest <08085 +shama< > [ them ] from
heaven <08064 +shamayim > ; and according to thy manifold <07227
+rab > mercies <07356 +racham > thou gavest <05414 +nathan >
them saviours <03467 +yasha< > , who saved <03467 +yasha< > them
out of the hand <03027 +yad > of their enemies <06862 +tsar > .



09 : 28 But after they had rest <05117 +nuwach > , they did
<06213 +<asah > evil <07451 +ra< > again < 07725 +shuwb > before
<06440 +paniym > thee : therefore leftest <05800 +< azab > thou
them in the hand of their enemies <00341 +>oyeb > , so that they
had the dominion <07287 +radah > over them : yet when they
returned <07725 +shuwb > , and cried <02199 +za<aq > unto thee ,
thou heardest <08085 +shama< > [ them ] from heaven < 08064
+shamayim > ; and many <07227 +rab > times <06256 +<eth > didst
thou deliver <05337 +natsal > them according to thy mercies
<07356 +racham > ;



09 : 29 And testifiedst <05749 +<uwd > against them , that thou
mightest bring <07725 +shuwb > them again <07725 +shuwb > unto
thy law <08451 +towrah > : yet they dealt proudly <02102 +zuwd >
, and hearkened <08085 +shama< > not unto thy commandments
<04687 +mitsvah > , but sinned <02398 +chata> > against thy
judgments <04941 +mishpat > , ( which if a man <00120 +>adam >
do <06213 +<asah > , he shall live <02421 +chayah > in them ; )
and withdrew the shoulder <03802 +katheph > , and hardened
<07185 +qashah > their neck <06203 +<oreph > , and would not
hear <08085 +shama< > .



09 : 30 Yet many <07227 +rab > years <08141 +shaneh > didst thou
forbear <04900 +mashak > them , and testifiedst <05749 +<uwd >
against them by thy spirit <07307 +ruwach > in thy prophets
<05030 +nabiy> > : yet would they not give ear <00238 +>azan > :
therefore gavest <05414 +nathan > thou them into the hand <03027
+yad > of the people <05971 +<am > of the lands < 00776 +>erets >
.



09 : 31 Nevertheless for thy great <07227 +rab > mercies <07356
+racham > sake thou didst not utterly consume <03615 +kalah >
them , nor <03808 +lo> > forsake <05800 +<azab > them ; for thou
[ art ] a gracious <02587 +channuwn > and merciful < 07349
+rachuwm > God <00410 +>el > .



09 : 32 Now <06258 +<attah > therefore , our God < 00430
+>elohiym > , the great <01419 +gadowl > , the mighty <01368
+gibbowr > , and the terrible <03372 +yare> > God < 00410 +>el > ,
who keepest <08104 +shamar > covenant <01285 +b@riyth > and
mercy <02617 +checed > , let not all <03605 +kol > the trouble
<08513 +t@la>ah > seem <04591 +ma<at > little <04591 +ma<at >
before <06440 +paniym > thee , that hath come <04672 +matsa> >
upon us , on our kings <04428 +melek > , on our princes < 08269
+sar > , and on our priests <03548 +kohen > , and on our
prophets <05030 +nabiy> > , and on our fathers <1> , and on all
<03605 +kol > thy people <05971 +<am > , since the time <03117
+yowm > of the kings <04428 +melek > of Assyria < 00804
+>Ashshuwr > unto this <02088 +zeh > day <03117 +yowm > .



09 : 33 Howbeit thou [ art ] just <06662 +tsaddiyq > in all
<03605 +kol > that is brought <00935 +bow> > upon us ; for thou
hast done <06213 +<asah > right <00571 +>emeth > , but we have
done wickedly <07561 +rasha< > :



09 : 34 Neither <03808 +lo> > have our kings <04428 +melek > ,
our princes <08269 +sar > , our priests <03548 +kohen > , nor
<03808 +lo> > our fathers <1> , kept <06213 +<asah > thy law
<08451 +towrah > , nor <03808 +lo> > hearkened < 07181 +qashab >
unto thy commandments <04687 +mitsvah > and thy testimonies
<5715> , wherewith <00834 +>aher > thou didst testify <05749
+<uwd > against them .



09 : 35 For they have not served <05647 +<abad > thee in their
kingdom <04438 +malkuwth > , and in thy great <07227 +rab >
goodness <02898 +tuwb > that thou gavest <05414 +nathan > them ,
and in the large <07342 +rachab > and fat <08082 +shamen > land
<00776 +>erets > which <00834 +>aher > thou gavest <05414
+nathan > before <06440 +paniym > them , neither < 03808 +lo> >
turned <07725 +shuwb > they from their wicked <07451 +ra< >
works <04611 +ma<alal > .



09 : 36 Behold <02009 +hinneh > , we [ are ] servants < 05650
+<ebed > this day <03117 +yowm > , and [ for ] the land <00776
+>erets > that thou gavest <05414 +nathan > unto our fathers <1>
to eat <00398 +>akal > the fruit <06529 +p@riy > thereof and the
good <02898 +tuwb > thereof , behold <02009 +hinneh > , we [ are
] servants <05650 +<ebed > in it :



09 : 37 And it yieldeth <07235 +rabah > much <07235 +rabah >
increase <08393 +t@buw>ah > unto the kings <04428 +melek > whom
<00834 +>aher > thou hast set <05414 +nathan > over <05921 +<al

dominion <04910 +mashal > over <05921 +<al > our bodies <01472

, at their pleasure <07522 +ratsown > , and we [ are ] in great
<01419 +gadowl > distress <06869 +tsarah > .



09 : 38 And because of all <03605 +kol > this <02063 +zo>th > we

<05414 +nathan > the portions <04521 +m@nath > of the singers
<07891 +shiyr > and the porters <07778 +show<er > , every day
<03117 +yowm > his portion <01697 +dabar > : and they sanctified
<06942 +qadash > [ holy things ] unto the Levites <03881
+Leviyiy > ; and the Levites <03881 +Leviyiy > sanctified <06942
+qadash > [ them ] unto the children <01121 +ben > of Aaron
<00175 +>Aharown > .



13 : 01 . On that day <03117 +yowm > they read <07121 +qara> >
in the book <05612 +cepher > of Moses <04872 +Mosheh > in the
audience <00241 +>ozen > of the people <05971 +<am > ; and
therein was found <04672 +matsa> > written <03789 +kathab > ,
that the Ammonite <05984 +<Ammowniy > and the Moabite <04125
+Mow>abiy > should not come <00935 +bow> > into the congregation
<06951 +qahal > of God <00430 +>elohiym > for ever <05769
+<owlam > ;



13 : 02 Because <03588 +kiy > they met <06923 +qadam > not the
children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > with bread
<03899 +lechem > and with water <04325 +mayim > , but hired
<07936 +sakar > Balaam <01109 +Bil<am > against <05921 +<al >
them , that he should curse <07043 +qalal > them : howbeit our
God <00430 +>elohiym > turned <02015 +haphak > the curse <07045
+q@lalah > into a blessing <01293 +B@rakah > .



13 : 03 Now it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when they had
heard <08085 +shama< > the law <08451 +towrah > , that they
separated <00914 +badal > from Israel <03478 +Yisra> el > all
<03605 +kol > the mixed <06154 +<ereb > multitude <06154 +<ereb

13 : 04 And before <06440 +paniym > this <02088 +zeh > ,
Eliashib <00475 +>Elyashiyb > the priest <03548 +kohen > ,
having the oversight <05414 +nathan > of the chamber < 03957
+lishkah > of the house <01004 +bayith > of our God < 00430
+>elohiym > , [ was ] allied <07138 +qarowb > unto Tobiah <02900
+Towbiyah > :



13 : 05 And he had prepared <06213 +<asah > for him a great
<01419 +gadowl > chamber <03957 +lishkah > , where <08033 +sham
> aforetime <06440 +paniym > they laid <05414 +nathan > the meat
offerings <04503 +minchah > , the frankincense <03828 +l@bownah

+ma<aser > of the corn <01715 +dagan > , the new < 08492
+tiyrowsh > wine <08492 +tiyrowsh > , and the oil < 03323
+yitshar > , which was commanded <04687 +mitsvah > [ to be given
] to the Levites <03881 +Leviyiy > , and the singers < 07891
+shiyr > , and the porters <07778 +show<er > ; and the offerings
<04503 +minchah > of the priests <03548 +kohen > .



13 : 06 But in all <03605 +kol > this <02088 +zeh > [ time ] was
not I at Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > : for in the two
<08147 +sh@nayim > and thirtieth <07970 +sh@lowshiym > year
<08141 +shaneh > of Artaxerxes <00783 +> Artachshashta> > king
<04428 +melek > of Babylon <00894 +Babel > came < 00935 +bow> > I
unto the king <04428 +melek > , and after <07093 +qets > certain
days <03117 +yowm > obtained <07592 +sha>al > I leave <07592
+sha>al > of the king <04428 +melek > :



13 : 07 And I came <00935 +bow> > to Jerusalem <03389
+Y@ruwshalaim > , and understood <00995 +biyn > of the evil
<07451 +ra< > that Eliashib <00475 +>Elyashiyb > did <06213
+<asah > for Tobiah <02900 +Towbiyah > , in preparing <06213
+<asah > him a chamber <05393 +nishkah > in the courts <02691
+chatser > of the house <01004 +bayith > of God < 00430 +>elohiym
> .



13 : 08 And it grieved <07489 +ra<a< > me sore < 03966 +m@<od > :
therefore I cast <07903 +sh@kobeth > forth all <03605 +kol > the
household <01004 +bayith > stuff <03627 +k@liy > of Tobiah
<02900 +Towbiyah > out of the chamber <03957 +lishkah > .



13 : 09 Then I commanded <00559 +>amar > , and they cleansed
<02891 +taher > the chambers <03957 +lishkah > : and thither
<08033 +sham > brought <07725 +shuwb > I again < 07725 +shuwb >
the vessels <03627 +k@liy > of the house <01004 +bayith > of God
<00430 +>elohiym > , with the meat offering <04503 +minchah >
and the frankincense <03828 +l@bownah > .



13 : 10 . And I perceived <03045 +yada< > that the portions
<04521 +m@nath > of the Levites <03881 +Leviyiy > had not been
given <05414 +nathan > [ them ] : for the Levites <03881
+Leviyiy > and the singers <07891 +shiyr > , that did <06213
+<asah > the work <04399 +m@la>kah > , were fled <01272 +barach
> every <00376 +>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh > to his field <07704
+sadeh > .



13 : 11 Then contended <07378 +riyb > I with the rulers < 05461
+cagan > , and said <00559 +>amar > , Why <04069 +madduwa< > is
the house <01004 +bayith > of God <00430 +>elohiym > forsaken
<05800 +<azab > ? And I gathered <06908 +qabats > them together
, and set <05975 +<amad > them in their place <05977 +<omed > .



13 : 12 Then brought <00935 +bow> > all <03605 +kol > Judah
<03063 +Y@huwdah > the tithe <04643 +ma<aser > of the corn
<01715 +dagan > and the new <08492 +tiyrowsh > wine <08492
+tiyrowsh > and the oil <03323 +yitshar > unto the treasuries
<00214 +>owtsar > .



13 : 13 And I made treasurers <00686 +>atsar > over < 05921 +<al
> the treasuries <00214 +>owtsar > , Shelemiah < 08018 +Shelemyah
> the priest <03548 +kohen > , and Zadok <06659 +Tsadowq > the
scribe <05608 +caphar > , and of the Levites <03881 +Leviyiy > ,
Pedaiah <06305 +P@dayah > : and next to them [ was ] Hanan
<02605 +Chanan > the son <01121 +ben > of Zaccur < 02139 +Zakkuwr
> , the son <01121 +ben > of Mattaniah <04983 +Mattanyah > : for
they were counted <02803 +chashab > faithful <00539 +> aman > ,
and their office [ was ] to distribute <02505 +chalaq > unto
their brethren <00251 +>ach > .



13 : 14 Remember <02142 +zakar > me , O my God <00430 +>elohiym

<04229 +machah > not out my good <02617 +checed > deeds that I
have done <06213 +<asah > for the house <01004 +bayith > of my
God <00430 +>elohiym > , and for the offices <04929 +mishmar >
thereof .



13 : 15 . In those <01992 +hem > days <03117 +yowm > saw <07200
+ra>ah > I in Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > [ some ] treading <01869
+darak > wine presses on the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > , and
bringing <00935 +bow> > in sheaves <06194 +<arem > , and lading
<06006 +<amac > asses <02543 +chamowr > ; as also <00637 +>aph >
wine <03196 +yayin > , grapes <06025 +<enab > , and figs <08384
+t@>en > , and all <03605 +kol > [ manner of ] burdens <04853
+massa> > , which they brought <00935 +bow> > into Jerusalem
<03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > on the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > day
<03117 +yowm > : and I testified <05749 +<uwd > [ against them ]
in the day <03117 +yowm > wherein they sold <04376 +makar >
victuals <06718 +tsayid > .



13 : 16 There dwelt <03427 +yashab > men <00582 +> enowsh > of
Tyre <06876 +Tsoriy > also therein , which brought < 00935 +bow>
> fish <01709 +dag > , and all <03605 +kol > manner of ware
<04377 +meker > , and sold <04376 +makar > on the sabbath <07676
+shabbath > unto the children <01121 +ben > of Judah < 03063
+Y@huwdah > , and in Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > .



13 : 17 Then I contended <07378 +riyb > with the nobles < 02715
+chor > of Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > , and said <00559 +>amar >
unto them , What <04100 +mah > evil <07451 +ra< > thing <01697
+dabar > [ is ] this <02088 +zeh > that ye do <06213 +<asah > ,
and profane <02490 +chalal > the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > day
<03117 +yowm > ?



13 : 18 Did <06213 +<asah > not your fathers <1> thus <03541
+koh > , and did <06213 +<asah > not our God < 00430 +>elohiym >
bring <00935 +bow> > all <03605 +kol > this < 02088 +zeh > evil
<07451 +ra< > upon us , and upon this <02063 +zo> th > city
<05892 +<iyr > ? yet ye bring <00935 +bow> > more <03254
+yacaph > wrath <02740 +charown > upon Israel <03478 +Yisra>el >
by profaning <02490 +chalal > the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > .



13 : 19 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , that when < 00834
+>aher > the gates <08179 +sha<ar > of Jerusalem <03389
+Y@ruwshalaim > began <06751 +tsalal > to be dark < 06751 +tsalal
> before <06440 +paniym > the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > , I
commanded <00559 +>amar > that the gates <01817 +deleth > should
be shut <05462 +cagar > , and charged <00559 +>amar > that they
should not be opened <06605 +pathach > till <05704 +< ad > after
<00310 +>achar > the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > : and [ some ]
of my servants <05288 +na<ar > set <05975 +<amad > I at <05921
+<al > the gates <08179 +sha<ar > , [ that ] there should no
<03808 +lo> > burden <04853 +massa> > be brought <00935 +bow> >
in on the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > day <03117 +yowm > .



13 : 20 So the merchants <07402 +rakal > and sellers < 04376
+makar > of all <03605 +kol > kind of ware <04465 +mimkar >
lodged <03885 +luwn > without <02351 +chuwts > Jerusalem <03389
+Y@ruwshalaim > once <06471 +pa<am > or twice < 08147 +sh@nayim >
.



13 : 21 Then I testified <05749 +<uwd > against them , and said
<00559 +>amar > untothem , Why <04069 +madduwa< > lodge <03885
+luwn > ye about <05048 +neged > the wall <02346 +chowmah > ?
if <00518 +>im > ye do [ so ] again <03138 +yowreh > , I will
lay <07971 +shalach > hands <03027 +yad > on you . From that
time <06256 +<eth > forth came <00935 +bow> > they no <03808
+lo> > [ more ] on the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > .



13 : 22 And I commanded <00559 +>amar > the Levites < 03881
+Leviyiy > that theyshould cleanse <02891 +taher > themselves ,
and [ that ] they should come <00935 +bow> > [ and ] keep <08104
+shamar > the gates <08179 +sha<ar > , to sanctify <06942
+qadash > the sabbath <07676 +shabbath > day <03117 +yowm > .
Remember <02142 +zakar > me , O my God <00430 +> elohiym > , [
concerning ] this <02063 +zo>th > also <01571 +gam > , and spare
<02347 +chuwc > me according to the greatness <07230 +rob > of
thy mercy <02617 +checed > .



13 : 23 . In those <01992 +hem > days <03117 +yowm > also
<01571 +gam > saw <07200 +ra>ah > I Jews <03064 +Y@huwdiy > [
that ] had married <03427 +yashab > wives <00802 +> ishshah > of
Ashdod <00795 +>Ashdowd > , of Ammon <05983 +< Ammown > , [ and ]
of Moab <04125 +Mow>abiy > :



13 : 24 And their children <01121 +ben > spake <01696 +dabar >
half <02677 +chetsiy > in the speech <03066 +Y@huwdiyth > of
Ashdod <00795 +>Ashdowd > , and could <05234 +nakar > not speak
<01696 +dabar > in the Jews <03066 +Y@huwdiyth > language , but
according to the language <03956 +lashown > of each people
<05971 +<am > .



13 : 25 And I contended <07378 +riyb > with them , and cursed
<07043 +qalal > them , and smote <05221 +nakah > certain <00582
+>enowsh > of them , and plucked <04803 +marat > off their hair ,
and made them swear <07650 +shaba< > by God <00430 +>elohiym > ,
[ saying ] , Ye shall not give <05414 +nathan > your daughters
<01121 +ben > unto their sons <01121 +ben > , nor < 00518 +>im >
take <05375 +nasa> > their daughters <01121 +ben > unto your
sons <01121 +ben > , or for yourselves .



13 : 26 Did not Solomon <08010 +Sh@lomoh > king <04428 +melek >
of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > sin <02398 +chata> > by these
things ? yet among many <07227 +rab > nations <01471 +gowy > was
there no <03808 +lo> > king <04428 +melek > like <03644 +k@mow >
him , who was beloved <00157 +>ahab > of his God < 00430

him king <04428 +melek > over <05921 +<al > all <03605 +kol >
Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > : nevertheless <01571 +gam > even him
did outlandish <05237 +nokriy > women <00802 +> ishshah > cause
to sin <02398 +chata> > .



13 : 27 Shall we then hearken <08085 +shama< > unto you to do
<06213 +<asah > all <03605 +kol > this <02063 +zo>th > great
<01419 +gadowl > evil <07451 +ra< > , to transgress <04603

+yashab > strange <05237 +nokriy > wives <00802 +> ishshah > ?





13 : 28 And [ one <00259 +>echad > ] of the sons < 01121 +ben >
of Joiada <03111 +Yowyada< > , the son <01121 +ben > of Eliashib
<00475 +>Elyashiyb > the high <01419 +gadowl > priest <03548

13 : 29 Remember <02142 +zakar > them , O my God <00430

+ga>al > the priesthood <03550 +k@hunnah > , and the covenant

the Levites <03881 +Leviyiy > .



13 : 30 Thus cleansed <02891 +taher > I them from all < 03605

13 : 31 And for the wood <06086 +<ets > offering < 07133 +qorban
