Nehemiah 13:10-23

13:10

And I perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the portions
<04521>

of the Levites
<03881>

had not been given
<05414> (8738)

[them]: for the Levites
<03881>

and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,

that did
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>_,

were fled
<01272> (8799)

every one
<0376>

to his field
<07704>_.

13:11

Then contended
<07378> (8799)

I with the rulers
<05461>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why is the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

forsaken
<05800> (8738)_?

And I gathered them together
<06908> (8762)_,

and set
<05975> (8686)

them in their place
<05977>_.

{place: Heb. standing}

13:12

Then brought
<0935> (8689)

all Judah
<03063>

the tithe
<04643>

of the corn
<01715>

and the new wine
<08492>

and the oil
<03323>

unto the treasuries
<0214>_.

{treasuries: or, storehouses}

13:13

And I made treasurers
<0686> (8799)

over the treasuries
<0214>_,

Shelemiah
<08018>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Zadok
<06659>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and of the Levites
<03881>_,

Pedaiah
<06305>_:

and next to them
<03027>

[was] Hanan
<02605>

the son
<01121>

of Zaccur
<02139>_,

the son
<01121>

of Mattaniah
<04983>_:

for they were counted
<02803> (8738)

faithful
<0539> (8737)_,

and their office [was] to distribute
<02505> (8800)

unto their brethren
<0251>_.

{treasuries: or, storehouses} {next...: Heb. at their hand} {their office...: Heb. it was upon them}

13:14

Remember
<02142> (8798)

me, O my God
<0430>_,

concerning this, and wipe not out
<04229> (8686)

my good
<02617>

deeds that I have done
<06213> (8804)

for the house
<01004>

of my God
<0430>_,

and for the offices
<04929>

thereof. {good...: Heb. kindnesses} {offices: or, observations}

13:15

In those days
<03117>

saw
<07200> (8804)

I in Judah
<03063>

[some] treading
<01869> (8802)

wine presses
<01660>

on the sabbath
<07676>_,

and bringing in
<0935> (8688)

sheaves
<06194>_,

and lading
<06006> (8802)

asses
<02543>_;

as also wine
<03196>_,

grapes
<06025>_,

and figs
<08384>_,

and all [manner of] burdens
<04853>_,

which they brought
<0935> (8688)

into Jerusalem
<03389>

on the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_:

and I testified
<05749> (8686)

[against them] in the day
<03117>

wherein they sold
<04376> (8800)

victuals
<06718>_.

13:16

There dwelt
<03427> (8804)

men of Tyre
<06876>

also therein, which brought
<0935> (8688)

fish
<01709> (8675) <01709>_,

and all manner of ware
<04377>_,

and sold
<04376> (8802)

on the sabbath
<07676>

unto the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

13:17

Then I contended
<07378> (8799)

with the nobles
<02715>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What evil
<07451>

thing
<01697>

[is] this that ye do
<06213> (8802)_,

and profane
<02490> (8764)

the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_?

13:18

Did
<06213> (8804)

not your fathers
<01>

thus, and did
<0935> (0)

not our God
<0430>

bring
<0935> (8686)

all this evil
<07451>

upon us, and upon this city
<05892>_?

yet ye bring
<0935> (8686)

more
<03254> (8688)

wrath
<02740>

upon Israel
<03478>

by profaning
<02490> (8763)

the sabbath
<07676>_.

13:19

And it came to pass, that when the gates
<08179>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

began to be dark
<06751> (8804)

before
<06440>

the sabbath
<07676>_,

I commanded
<0559> (8799)

that the gates
<01817>

should be shut
<05462> (8735)_,

and charged
<0559> (8799)

that they should not be opened
<06605> (8799)

till after
<0310>

the sabbath
<07676>_:

and [some] of my servants
<05288>

set
<05975> (8689)

I at the gates
<08179>_,

[that] there should no burden
<04853>

be brought in
<0935> (8799)

on the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_.

13:20

So the merchants
<07402> (8802)

and sellers
<04376> (8802)

of all kind of ware
<04465>

lodged
<03885> (8799)

without
<02351>

Jerusalem
<03389>

once
<06471>

or twice
<08147>_.

13:21

Then I testified
<05749> (8686)

against them, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why lodge
<03885> (8801)

ye about
<05048>

the wall
<02346>_?

if ye do [so] again
<08138> (8799)_,

I will lay
<07971> (8799)

hands
<03027>

on you. From that time
<06256>

forth came
<0935> (8804)

they no [more] on the sabbath
<07676>_.

{about: Heb. before}

13:22

And I commanded
<0559> (8799)

the Levites
<03881>

that they should cleanse
<02891> (8693)

themselves, and [that] they should come
<0935> (8802)

[and] keep
<08104> (8802)

the gates
<08179>_,

to sanctify
<06942> (8763)

the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_.

Remember
<02142> (8798)

me, O my God
<0430>_,

[concerning] this also, and spare
<02347> (8798)

me according to the greatness
<07230>

of thy mercy
<02617>_.

{greatness: or, multitude}

13:23

In those days
<03117>

also saw
<07200> (8804)

I Jews
<03064>

[that] had married
<03427> (8689)

wives
<0802>

of Ashdod
<0796>_,

of Ammon
<05984>_,

[and] of Moab
<04125>_:

{had...: Heb. had made to dwell with them}
