Ezra 8:15-23

And I gathered them together
<06908> (8799)

to the river
<05104>

that runneth
<0935> (8802)

to Ahava
<0163>_;

and there abode we in tents
<02583> (8799)

three
<07969>

days
<03117>_:

and I viewed
<0995> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

and the priests
<03548>_,

and found
<04672> (8804)

there none of the sons
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_.

{abode: or, pitched}

Then sent
<07971> (8799)

I for Eliezer
<0461>_,

for Ariel
<0740>_,

for Shemaiah
<08098>_,

and for Elnathan
<0494>_,

and for Jarib
<03402>_,

and for Elnathan
<0494>_,

and for Nathan
<05416>_,

and for Zechariah
<02148>_,

and for Meshullam
<04918>_,

chief men
<07218>_;

also for Joiarib
<03114>_,

and for Elnathan
<0494>_,

men of understanding
<0995> (8688)_.

And I sent
<06680> (8762)

them with commandment
<03318> (8686)

unto Iddo
<0112>

the chief
<07218>

at the place
<04725>

Casiphia
<03703>_,

and I told
<07760> (8799) <06310>

them what
<01697>

they should say
<01696> (8763)

unto Iddo
<0112>_,

[and] to his brethren
<0251>

the Nethinims
<05411> (8675) <05411>_,

at the place
<04725>

Casiphia
<03703>_,

that they should bring
<0935> (8687)

unto us ministers
<08334> (8764)

for the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_.

{I told...: Heb. I put words in their mouth}

And by the good
<02896>

hand
<03027>

of our God
<0430>

upon us they brought
<0935> (8686)

us a man
<0376>

of understanding
<07922>_,

of the sons
<01121>

of Mahli
<04249>_,

the son
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_,

the son
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and Sherebiah
<08274>_,

with his sons
<01121>

and his brethren
<0251>_,

eighteen
<08083> <06240>_;

And Hashabiah
<02811>_,

and with him Jeshaiah
<03470>

of the sons
<01121>

of Merari
<04847>_,

his brethren
<0251>

and their sons
<01121>_,

twenty
<06242>_;

Also of the Nethinims
<05411>_,

whom David
<01732>

and the princes
<08269>

had appointed
<05414> (8804)

for the service
<05656>

of the Levites
<03881>_,

two hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

Nethinims
<05411>_:

all of them were expressed
<05344> (8738)

by name
<08034>_.

Then I proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

a fast
<06685>

there, at the river
<05104>

of Ahava
<0163>_,

that we might afflict
<06031> (8692)

ourselves before
<06440>

our God
<0430>_,

to seek
<01245> (8763)

of him a right
<03477>

way
<01870>

for us, and for our little ones
<02945>_,

and for all our substance
<07399>_.

For I was ashamed
<0954> (8804)

to require
<07592> (8800)

of the king
<04428>

a band of soldiers
<02428>

and horsemen
<06571>

to help
<05826> (8800)

us against the enemy
<0341> (8802)

in the way
<01870>_:

because we had spoken
<0559> (8804)

unto the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The hand
<03027>

of our God
<0430>

[is] upon all them for good
<02896>

that seek
<01245> (8764)

him; but his power
<05797>

and his wrath
<0639>

[is] against all them that forsake
<05800> (8802)

him.

So we fasted
<06684> (8799)

and besought
<01245> (8762)

our God
<0430>

for this: and he was intreated
<06279> (8735)

of us.
