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>_,
