And I gathered them together

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}

8:16

Then sent

I for Eliezer

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}

8:18

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>_;

8:19

And Hashabiah
<02811>_,

and with him Jeshaiah
<03470>

of the sons
<01121>

of Merari
<04847>_,

his brethren
<0251>

and their sons
<01121>_,

twenty
<06242>_;

8:20

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>_.

8:21

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>_.

8:22

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.

8:23

So we fasted
<06684> (8799)

and besought
<01245> (8762)

our God
<0430>

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

of us.

8:24

Then I separated
<0914> (8686)

twelve
<08147> <06240>

of the chief
<08269>

of the priests
<03548>_,

Sherebiah
<08274>_,

Hashabiah
<02811>_,

and ten
<06235>

of their brethren
<0251>

with them,

8:25

And weighed
<08254> (8799)

unto them the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the vessels
<03627>_,

[even] the offering
<08641>

of the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_,

which the king
<04428>_,

and his counsellors
<03289> (8802)_,

and his lords
<08269>_,

and all Israel
<03478>

[there] present
<04672> (8737)_,

had offered
<07311> (8689)_:

8:26

I even weighed
<08254> (8799)

unto their hand
<03027>

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_,

and silver
<03701>

vessels
<03627>

an hundred
<03967>

talents
<03603>_,

[and] of gold
<02091>

an hundred
<03967>

talents
<03603>_;

8:27

Also twenty
<06242>

basons
<03713>

of gold
<02091>_,

of a thousand
<0505>

drams
<0150>_;

and two
<08147>

vessels
<03627>

of fine
<02896> <06668> (8716)

copper
<05178>_,

precious
<02532>

as gold
<02091>_.

{fine...: Heb. yellow, or, shining brass} {precious: Heb. desirable}

8:28

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye [are] holy
<06944>

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

the vessels
<03627>

[are] holy
<06944>

also; and the silver
<03701>

and the gold
<02091>

[are] a freewill offering
<05071>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>_.

8:29

Watch
<08245> (8798)

ye, and keep
<08104> (8798)

[them], until ye weigh
<08254> (8799)

[them] before
<06440>

the chief
<08269>

of the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and chief
<08269>

of the fathers
<01>

of Israel
<03478>_,

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

in the chambers
<03957>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:30

So took
<06901> (8765)

the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

the weight
<04948>

of the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the vessels
<03627>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

[them] to Jerusalem
<03389>

unto the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_.

8:31

Then we departed
<05265> (8799)

from the river
<05104>

of Ahava
<0163>

on the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

[day] of the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_,

to go
<03212> (8800)

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and the hand
<03027>

of our God
<0430>

was upon us, and he delivered
<05337> (8686)

us from the hand
<03709>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

and of such as lay in wait
<0693> (8802)

by the way
<01870>_.
