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

01 : 03 And they said <00559 +>amar > unto me , The

<04082
+m@diynah > [ are ] in great <01419 +gadowl > affliction
<07451
+ra< > and reproach <02781 +cherpah > : the wall <

<06555
+parats > down , and the gates <08179 +sha<ar >

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

and mourned <56> [ certain ] days <03117 +yowm > ,
and fasted
<06684 +tsuwm > , and prayed <06419 +palal > before
<06440

01 : 05 . And said <00559 +>amar > , I beseech <

thee , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God <00430 +>elohiym

terrible

attentive <07183 +qashshab > , and thine eyes <05869

open <06605 +pathach > , that thou mayest hear <08085
+shama< >
the prayer <08605 +t@phillah > of thy servant <05650

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

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

<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>

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

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

<05046 +nagad >
I [ any ] man <00120 +>adam > what <04100 +mah >
my God <00430

03820 +leb >
to do <06213 +<asah > at Jerusalem <03389
+Y@ruwshalaim > :
neither <00369 +>ayin > [ was there any ] beast <
00929 +b@hemah

<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

<07663 +sabar > the walls <02346 +chowmah > of
Jerusalem <03389
