Nehemiah 4:7-15

4:7

But it came to pass, [that] when Sanballat
<05571>_,

and Tobiah
<02900>_,

and the Arabians
<06163>_,

and the Ammonites
<05984>_,

and the Ashdodites
<0796>_,

heard
<08085> (8804)

that the walls
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

were made up
<0724> <05927> (8804)_,

[and] that the breaches
<06555> (8803)

began
<02490> (8689)

to be stopped
<05640> (8736)_,

then they were very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

{were made up: Heb. ascended}

4:8

And conspired
<07194> (8799)

all of them together
<03162>

to come
<0935> (8800)

[and] to fight
<03898> (8736)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and to hinder
<06213> (8800) <08442>

it. {to hinder...: Heb. to make an error to it}

4:9

Nevertheless we made our prayer
<06419> (8691)

unto our God
<0430>_,

and set
<05975> (8686)

a watch
<04929>

against them day
<03119>

and night
<03915>_,

because
<06440>

of them.

4:10

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The strength
<03581>

of the bearers of burdens
<05449>

is decayed
<03782> (8804)_,

and [there is] much
<07235> (8687)

rubbish
<06083>_;

so that we are not able
<03201> (8799)

to build
<01129> (8800)

the wall
<02346>_.

4:11

And our adversaries
<06862>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They shall not know
<03045> (8799)_,

neither see
<07200> (8799)_,

till we come
<0935> (8799)

in the midst
<08432>

among
<08432>

them, and slay
<02026> (8804)

them, and cause the work
<04399>

to cease
<07673> (8689)_.

4:12

And it came to pass, that when the Jews
<03064>

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

by them
<0681>

came
<0935> (8804)_,

they said
<0559> (8799)

unto us ten
<06235>

times
<06471>_,

From all places
<04725>

whence ye shall return
<07725> (8799)

unto us [they will be upon you]. {From all...: or, That from all places ye must return to us}

4:13

Therefore set
<05975> (8686)

I in the lower
<08482>

places
<04725>

behind
<0310>

the wall
<02346>_,

[and] on the higher places
<06706> (8675) <06708>_,

I even set
<05975> (8686)

the people
<05971>

after their families
<04940>

with their swords
<02719>_,

their spears
<07420>_,

and their bows
<07198>_.

{in the...: Heb. from the lower parts of the place, etc}

4:14

And I looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the nobles
<02715>_,

and to the rulers
<05461>_,

and to the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>_,

Be not ye afraid
<03372> (8799)

of them
<06440>_:

remember
<02142> (8798)

the Lord
<0136>_,

[which is] great
<01419>

and terrible
<03372> (8737)_,

and fight
<03898> (8734)

for your brethren
<0251>_,

your sons
<01121>_,

and your daughters
<01323>_,

your wives
<0802>_,

and your houses
<01004>_.

4:15

And it came to pass, when our enemies
<0341> (8802)

heard
<08085> (8804)

that it was known
<03045> (8738)

unto us, and God
<0430>

had brought
<06565> (0)

their counsel
<06098>

to nought
<06565> (8686)_,

that we returned
<07725> (8799)

all of us to the wall
<02346>_,

every one
<0376>

unto his work
<04399>_.
