Nehemiah 6:15--7:4

So the wall
<02346>
was finished
<07999> (8799)
in the twenty
<06242>
and fifth
<02568>
[day] of [the month] Elul
<0435>_,
in fifty
<02572>
and two
<08147>
days
<03117>_.
And it came to pass, that when all our enemies
<0341> (8802)
heard
<08085> (8804)
[thereof], and all the heathen
<01471>
that [were] about us
<05439>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[these things], they were much
<03966>
cast down
<05307> (8799)
in their own eyes
<05869>_:
for they perceived
<03045> (8799)
that this work
<04399>
was wrought
<06213> (8738)
of our God
<0430>_.
Moreover in those days
<03117>
the nobles
<02715>
of Judah
<03063>
sent
<01980> (8802)
many
<07235> (8688)
letters
<0107>
unto Tobiah
<02900>_,
and [the letters] of Tobiah
<02900>
came
<0935> (8802)
unto them. {sent...: Heb. multiplied their letters passing to Tobiah}
For [there were] many
<07227>
in Judah
<03063>
sworn
<01167> <07621>
unto him, because he [was] the son in law
<02860>
of Shechaniah
<07935>
the son
<01121>
of Arah
<0733>_;
and his son
<01121>
Johanan
<03076>
had taken
<03947> (8804)
the daughter
<01323>
of Meshullam
<04918>
the son
<01121>
of Berechiah
<01296>_.
Also they reported
<0559> (8802)
his good deeds
<02896>
before
<06440>
me, and uttered
<03318> (8688)
my words
<01697>
to him. [And] Tobiah
<02900>
sent
<07971> (8804)
letters
<0107>
to put me in fear
<03372> (8763)_.
{words: or, matters}
Now it came to pass, when the wall
<02346>
was built
<01129> (8738)_,
and I had set up
<05975> (8686)
the doors
<01817>_,
and the porters
<07778>
and the singers
<07891> (8789)
and the Levites
<03881>
were appointed
<06485> (8735)_,
That I gave my brother
<0251>
Hanani
<02607>_,
and Hananiah
<02608>
the ruler
<08269>
of the palace
<01002>_,
charge
<06680> (8762)
over Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for he [was] a faithful
<0571>
man
<0376>_,
and feared
<03372> (8804)
God
<0430>
above many
<07227>_.
And I said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Let not the gates
<08179>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
be opened
<06605> (8735)
until the sun
<08121>
be hot
<02527>_;
and while they stand by
<05975> (8802)_,
let them shut
<01479> (8686)
the doors
<01817>_,
and bar
<0270> (8798)
[them]: and appoint
<05975> (8687)
watches
<04931>
of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
every one
<0376>
in his watch
<04929>_,
and every one
<0376>
[to be] over against his house
<01004>_.
Now the city
<05892>
[was] large
<07342> <03027>
and great
<01419>_:
but the people
<05971>
[were] few
<04592>
therein
<08432>_,
and the houses
<01004>
[were] not builded
<01129> (8803)_.
{large: Heb. broad in spaces}
