Nehemiah 1:1-11

1:1

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>_,

1:2

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>_.

1:3

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>_.

1:4

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>_,

1:5

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>_:

1:6

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)_.

1:7

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>_.

1:8

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>_:

1:9

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.

1:10

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>_.

1:11

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)_.
