before the men

and those that could understand

the scribe
<05608> (8802)

stood

upon a pulpit
<04026>

of wood
<06086>_,

which they had made

opened
<06605> (8799)

the book
<05612>

in the sight
<05869>

of all the people
<05971>_;

(for he was above all the people
<05971>;)

and when he opened
<06605> (8800)

it, all the people
<05971>

stood up
<05975> (8804)_:

{sight: Heb. eyes}

8:6

And Ezra
<05830>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the great
<01419>

God
<0430>_.

And all the people
<05971>

answered
<06030> (8799)_,

Amen
<0543>_,

with lifting up
<04607>

their hands
<03027>_:

and they bowed
<06915> (8799)

their heads, and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>

with [their] faces
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_.

8:7

Also Jeshua
<03442>_,

and Bani
<01137>_,

and Sherebiah
<08274>_,

Jamin
<03226>_,

Akkub
<06126>_,

Shabbethai
<07678>_,

Hodijah
<01941>_,

Maaseiah
<04641>_,

Kelita
<07042>_,

Azariah
<05838>_,

Jozabad
<03107>_,

Hanan
<02605>_,

Pelaiah
<06411>_,

and the Levites
<03881>_,

caused the people
<05971>

to understand
<0995> (8688)

the law
<08451>_:

and the people
<05971>

[stood] in their place
<05977>_.

8:8

So they read
<07121> (8799)

in the book
<05612>

in the law
<08451>

of God
<0430>

distinctly
<06567> (8794)_,

and gave
<07760> (8800)

the sense
<07922>_,

and caused [them] to understand
<0995> (8799)

the reading
<04744>_.

8:9

And Nehemiah
<05166>_,

which [is] the Tirshatha
<08660>_,

and Ezra
<05830>

the priest
<03548>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and the Levites
<03881>

that taught
<0995> (8688)

the people
<05971>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

This day
<03117>

[is] holy
<06918>

unto the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

mourn
<056> (8691)

not, nor weep
<01058> (8799)_.

For all the people
<05971>

wept
<01058> (8802)_,

when they heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of the law
<08451>_.

{the Tirshatha: or, the governor}

8:10

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Go your way
<03212> (8798)_,

eat
<0398> (8798)

the fat
<04924>_,

and drink
<08354> (8798)

the sweet
<04477>_,

and send
<07971> (8798)

portions
<04490>

unto them for whom nothing is prepared
<03559> (8737)_:

for [this] day
<03117>

[is] holy
<06918>

unto our Lord
<0113>_:

neither be ye sorry
<06087> (8735)_;

for the joy
<02304>

of the LORD
<03068>

is your strength
<04581>_.

8:11

So the Levites
<03881>

stilled
<02814> (8688)

all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hold your peace
<02013> (8761)_,

for the day
<03117>

[is] holy
<06918>_;

neither be ye grieved
<06087> (8735)_.

8:12

And all the people
<05971>

went their way
<03212> (8799)

to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

and to send
<07971> (8763)

portions
<04490>_,

and to make
<06213> (8800)

great
<01419>

mirth
<08057>_,

because they had understood
<0995> (8689)

the words
<01697>

that were declared
<03045> (8689)

unto them.

8:13

And on the second
<08145>

day
<03117>

were gathered together
<0622> (8738)

the chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>

of all the people
<05971>_,

the priests
<03548>_,

and the Levites
<03881>_,

unto Ezra
<05830>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

even to understand
<07919> (8687)

the words
<01697>

of the law
<08451>_.

{to understand...: or, that they might instruct in the words of the law}

8:14

And they found
<04672> (8799)

written
<03789> (8803)

in the law
<08451>

which the LORD
<03068>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

by
<03027>

Moses
<04872>_,

that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

should dwell
<03427> (8799)

in booths
<05521>

in the feast
<02282>

of the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>_:

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

8:15

And that they should publish
<08085> (8686)

and proclaim
<05674> (8686) <06963>

in all their cities
<05892>_,

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go forth
<03318> (8798)

unto the mount
<02022>_,

and fetch
<0935> (8685)

olive
<02132>

branches
<05929>_,

and pine
<08081>

branches
<06086> <05929>_,

and myrtle
<01918>

branches
<05929>_,

and palm
<08558>

branches
<05929>_,

and branches
<05929>

of thick
<05687>

trees
<06086>_,

to make
<06213> (8800)

booths
<05521>_,

as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)_.

8:16

So the people
<05971>

went forth
<03318> (8799)_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[them], and made
<06213> (8799)

themselves booths
<05521>_,

every one
<0376>

upon the roof of his house
<01406>_,

and in their courts
<02691>_,

and in the courts
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

and in the street
<07339>

of the water
<04325>

gate
<08179>_,

and in the street
<07339>

of the gate
<08179>

of Ephraim
<0669>_.

8:17

And all the congregation
<06951>

of them that were come again
<07725> (8802)

out of the captivity
<07628>

made
<06213> (8799)

booths
<05521>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

under the booths
<05521>_:

for since the days
<03117>

of Jeshua
<03442>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>

unto that day
<03117>

had not the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

done so
<06213> (8804)_.

And there was very
<03966>

great
<01419>

gladness
<08057>_.

8:18

Also day
<03117>

by day
<03117>_,

from the first
<07223>

day
<03117>

unto the last
<0314>

day
<03117>_,

he read
<07121> (8799)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of God
<0430>_.

And they kept
<06213> (8799)

the feast
<02282>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_;

and on the eighth
<08066>

day
<03117>

[was] a solemn assembly
<06116>_,

according unto the manner
<04941>_.

{a solemn...: Heb. a restraint}

9:1

Now in the twenty
<06242>

and fourth
<0702>

day
<03117>

of this month
<02320>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were assembled
<0622> (8738)

with fasting
<06685>_,

and with sackclothes
<08242>_,

and earth
<0127>

upon them.

9:2

And the seed
<02233>

of Israel
<03478>

separated
<0914> (8735)

themselves from all strangers
<01121> <05236>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

and confessed
<03034> (8691)

their sins
<02403>_,

and the iniquities
<05771>

of their fathers
<01>_.

{strangers: Heb. strange children}

9:3

And they stood up
<06965> (8799)

in their place
<05977>_,

and read
<07121> (8799)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>

[one] fourth part
<07243>

of the day
<03117>_;

and [another] fourth part
<07243>

they confessed
<03034> (8693)_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8693)

the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

9:4

Then stood up
<06965> (8799)

upon the stairs
<04608>_,

of the Levites
<03881>_,

Jeshua
<03442>_,

and Bani
<01137>_,

Kadmiel
<06934>_,

Shebaniah
<07645>_,

Bunni
<01138>_,

Sherebiah
<08274>_,

Bani
<01137>_,

[and] Chenani
<03662>_,

and cried
<02199> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>

unto the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

{stairs: or, scaffold}

9:5

Then the Levites
<03881>_,

Jeshua
<03442>_,

and Kadmiel
<06934>_,

Bani
<01137>_,

Hashabniah
<02813>_,

Sherebiah
<08274>_,

Hodijah
<01941>_,

Shebaniah
<07645>_,

[and] Pethahiah
<06611>_,

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Stand up
<06965> (8798)

[and] bless
<01288> (8761)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

for ever
<05769>

and ever
<05769>_:

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

be thy glorious
<03519>

name
<08034>_,

which is exalted
<07311> (8784)

above all blessing
<01293>

and praise
<08416>_.

9:6

Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD
<03068>

alone; thou hast made
<06213> (8804)

heaven
<08064>_,

the heaven
<08064>

of heavens
<08064>_,

with all their host
<06635>_,

the earth
<0776>_,

and all [things] that [are] therein, the seas
<03220>_,

and all that [is] therein, and thou preservest
<02421> (8764)

them all; and the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>

worshippeth
<07812> (8693)

thee.

9:7

Thou [art] the LORD
<03068>

the God
<0430>_,

who didst choose
<0977> (8804)

Abram
<087>_,

and broughtest him forth
<03318> (8689)

out of Ur
<0218>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

and gavest
<07760> (8804)

him the name
<08034>

of Abraham
<085>_;

9:8

And foundest
<04672> (8804)

his heart
<03824>

faithful
<0539> (8737)

before
<06440>

thee, and madest
<03772> (8800)

a covenant
<01285>

with him to give
<05414> (8800)

the land
<0776>

of the Canaanites
<03669>_,

the Hittites
<02850>_,

the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_,

and the Girgashites
<01622>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

[it, I say], to his seed
<02233>_,

and hast performed
<06965> (8686)

thy words
<01697>_;

for thou [art] righteous
<06662>_:

9:9

And didst see
<07200> (8799)

the affliction
<06040>

of our fathers
<01>

in Egypt
<04714>_,

and heardest
<08085> (8804)

their cry
<02201>

by the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>_;

9:10

And shewedst
<05414> (8799)

signs
<0226>

and wonders
<04159>

upon Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and on all his servants
<05650>_,

and on all the people
<05971>

of his land
<0776>_:

for thou knewest
<03045> (8804)

that they dealt proudly
<02102> (8689)

against them. So didst thou get
<06213> (8799)

thee a name
<08034>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_.

9:11

And thou didst divide
<01234> (8804)

the sea
<03220>

before
<06440>

them, so that they went through
<05674> (8799)

the midst
<08432>

of the sea
<03220>

on the dry land
<03004>_;

and their persecutors
<07291> (8802)

thou threwest
<07993> (8689)

into the deeps
<04688>_,

as a stone
<068>

into the mighty
<05794>

waters
<04325>_.

9:12

Moreover thou leddest
<05148> (8689)

them in the day
<03119>

by a cloudy
<06051>

pillar
<05982>_;

and in the night
<03915>

by a pillar
<05982>

of fire
<0784>_,

to give them light
<0215> (8687)

in the way
<01870>

wherein they should go
<03212> (8799)_.

9:13

Thou camest down
<03381> (8804)

also upon mount
<02022>

Sinai
<05514>_,

and spakest
<01696> (8763)

with them from heaven
<08064>_,

and gavest
<05414> (8799)

them right
<03477>

judgments
<04941>_,

and true
<0571>

laws
<08451>_,

good
<02896>

statutes
<02706>

and commandments
<04687>_:

{true...: Heb. laws of truth}

9:14

And madest known
<03045> (8689)

unto them thy holy
<06944>

sabbath
<07676>_,

and commandedst
<06680> (8765)

them precepts
<04687>_,

statutes
<02706>_,

and laws
<08451>_,

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>

thy servant
<05650>_:

9:15

And gavest
<05414> (8804)

them bread
<03899>

from heaven
<08064>

for their hunger
<07458>_,

and broughtest forth
<03318> (8689)

water
<04325>

for them out of the rock
<05553>

for their thirst
<06772>_,

and promisedst
<0559> (8799)

them that they should go in
<0935> (8800)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>

which thou hadst sworn
<03027> <05375> (8804)

to give
<05414> (8800)

them. {which...: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them}

9:16

But they and our fathers
<01>

dealt proudly
<02102> (8689)_,

and hardened
<07185> (8686)

their necks
<06203>_,

and hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not to thy commandments
<04687>_,

9:17

And refused
<03985> (8762)

to obey
<08085> (8800)_,

neither were mindful
<02142> (8804)

of thy wonders
<06381> (8737)

that thou didst
<06213> (8804)

among them; but hardened
<07185> (8686)

their necks
<06203>_,

and in their rebellion
<04805>

appointed
<05414> (8799)

a captain
<07218>

to return
<07725> (8800)

to their bondage
<05659>_:

but thou [art] a God
<0433>

ready to pardon
<05547>_,

gracious
<02587>

and merciful
<07349>_,

slow
<0750>

to anger
<0639>_,

and of great
<07227>

kindness
<02617>_,

and forsookest
<05800> (8804)

them not. {a God...: Heb. a God of pardons}

9:18

Yea, when they had made
<06213> (8804)

them a molten
<04541>

calf
<05695>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] thy God
<0430>

that brought thee up
<05927> (8689)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and had wrought
<06213> (8799)

great
<01419>

provocations
<05007>_;

9:19

Yet thou in thy manifold
<07227>

mercies
<07356>

forsookest
<05800> (8804)

them not in the wilderness
<04057>_:

the pillar
<05982>

of the cloud
<06051>

departed
<05493> (8804)

not from them by day
<03119>_,

to lead
<05148> (8687)

them in the way
<01870>_;

neither the pillar
<05982>

of fire
<0784>

by night
<03915>_,

to shew them light
<0215> (8687)_,

and the way
<01870>

wherein they should go
<03212> (8799)_.

9:20

Thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

also thy good
<02896>

spirit
<07307>

to instruct
<07919> (8687)

them, and withheldest
<04513> (8804)

not thy manna
<04478>

from their mouth
<06310>_,

and gavest
<05414> (8804)

them water
<04325>

for their thirst
<06772>_.

9:21

Yea, forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

didst thou sustain
<03557> (8773)

them in the wilderness
<04057>_,

[so that] they lacked
<02637> (8804)

nothing; their clothes
<08008>

waxed not old
<01086> (8804)_,

and their feet
<07272>

swelled
<01216> (8804)

not.

9:22

Moreover thou gavest
<05414> (8799)

them kingdoms
<04467>

and nations
<05971>_,

and didst divide
<02505> (8799)

them into corners
<06285>_:

so they possessed
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of Sihon
<05511>_,

and the land
<0776>

of the king
<04428>

of Heshbon
<02809>_,

and the land
<0776>

of Og
<05747>

king
<04428>

of Bashan
<01316>_.

9:23

Their children
<01121>

also multipliedst
<07235> (8689)

thou as the stars
<03556>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and broughtest
<0935> (8686)

them into the land
<0776>_,

concerning which thou hadst promised
<0559> (8804)

to their fathers
<01>_,

that they should go in
<0935> (8800)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

[it].

9:24

So the children
<01121>

went in
<0935> (8799)

and possessed
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and thou subduedst
<03665> (8686)

before
<06440>

them the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and gavest
<05414> (8799)

them into their hands
<03027>_,

with their kings
<04428>_,

and the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

that they might do
<06213> (8800)

with them as they would
<07522>_.

{as they...: Heb. according to their will}

9:25

And they took
<03920> (8799)

strong
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>_,

and a fat
<08082>

land
<0127>_,

and possessed
<03423> (8799)

houses
<01004>

full
<04392>

of all goods
<02898>_,

wells
<0953>

digged
<02672> (8803)_,

vineyards
<03754>_,

and oliveyards
<02132>_,

and fruit
<03978>

trees
<06086>

in abundance
<07230>_:

so they did eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and were filled
<07646> (8799)_,

and became fat
<08080> (8686)_,

and delighted
<05727> (8691)

themselves in thy great
<01419>

goodness
<02898>_.

{wells: or, cisterns} {fruit...: Heb. tree of food}

9:26

Nevertheless they were disobedient
<04784> (8686)_,

and rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against thee, and cast
<07993> (8686)

thy law
<08451>

behind
<0310>

their backs
<01458>_,

and slew
<02026> (8804)

thy prophets
<05030>

which testified
<05749> (8689)

against them to turn
<07725> (8687)

them to thee, and they wrought
<06213> (8799)

great
<01419>

provocations
<05007>_.

9:27

Therefore thou deliveredst
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<06862>_,

who vexed
<06887> (8686)

them: and in the time
<06256>

of their trouble
<06869>_,

when they cried
<06817> (8799)

unto thee, thou heardest
<08085> (8799)

[them] from heaven
<08064>_;

and according to thy manifold
<07227>

mercies
<07356>

thou gavest
<05414> (8799)

them saviours
<03467> (8688)_,

who saved
<03467> (8686)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<06862>_.

9:28

But after they had rest
<05117> (8800)_,

they did
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

again
<07725> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee: therefore leftest
<05800> (8799)

thou them in the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

so that they had the dominion
<07287> (8799)

over them: yet when they returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and cried
<02199> (8799)

unto thee, thou heardest
<08085> (8799)

[them] from heaven
<08064>_;

and many
<07227>

times
<06256>

didst thou deliver
<05337> (8686)

them according to thy mercies
<07356>_;

{they did...: Heb. they returned to do evil}

9:29

And testifiedst
<05749> (8686)

against them, that thou mightest bring them again
<07725> (8687)

unto thy law
<08451>_:

yet they dealt proudly
<02102> (8689)_,

and hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto thy commandments
<04687>_,

but sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thy judgments
<04941>_,

(which if a man
<0120>

do
<06213> (8799)_,

he shall live
<02421> (8804)

in them;) and withdrew
<05414> (8799) <05637> (8802)

the shoulder
<03802>_,

and hardened
<07185> (8689)

their neck
<06203>_,

and would not hear
<08085> (8804)_.

{withdrew...: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}

9:30

Yet many
<07227>

years
<08141>

didst thou forbear
<04900> (8799)

them, and testifiedst
<05749> (8686)

against them by thy spirit
<07307>

in
<03027>

thy prophets
<05030>_:

yet would they not give ear
<0238> (8689)_:

therefore gavest
<05414> (8799)

thou them into the hand
<03027>

of the people
<05971>

of the lands
<0776>_.

{forbear...: Heb. protract over them} {in thy...: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}

9:31

Nevertheless for thy great
<07227>

mercies
<07356>_'

sake thou didst
<06213> (8804)

not utterly consume
<03617>

them, nor forsake
<05800> (8804)

them; for thou [art] a gracious
<02587>

and merciful
<07349>

God
<0410>_.

9:32

Now therefore, our God
<0430>_,

the great
<01419>_,

the mighty
<01368>_,

and the terrible
<03372> (8737)

God
<0410>_,

who keepest
<08104> (8802)

covenant
<01285>

and mercy
<02617>_,

let not all the trouble
<08513>

seem little
<04591> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee, that hath come
<04672> (8804)

upon us, on our kings
<04428>_,

on our princes
<08269>_,

and on our priests
<03548>_,

and on our prophets
<05030>_,

and on our fathers
<01>_,

and on all thy people
<05971>_,

since the time
<03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{trouble: Heb. weariness} {that...: Heb. that hath found us}

9:33

Howbeit thou [art] just
<06662>

in all that is brought
<0935> (8802)

upon us; for thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

right
<0571>_,

but we have done wickedly
<07561> (8689)_:

9:34

Neither have our kings
<04428>_,

our princes
<08269>_,

our priests
<03548>_,

nor our fathers
<01>_,

kept
<06213> (8804)

thy law
<08451>_,

nor hearkened
<07181> (8689)

unto thy commandments
<04687>

and thy testimonies
<05715>_,

wherewith thou didst testify
<05749> (8689)

against them.

9:35

For they have not served
<05647> (8804)

thee in their kingdom
<04438>_,

and in thy great
<07227>

goodness
<02898>

that thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

them, and in the large
<07342>

and fat
<08082>

land
<0776>

which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

before
<06440>

them, neither turned
<07725> (8804)

they from their wicked
<07451>

works
<04611>_.

9:36

Behold, we [are] servants
<05650>

this day
<03117>_,

and [for] the land
<0776>

that thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

unto our fathers
<01>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

the fruit
<06529>

thereof and the good
<02898>

thereof, behold, we [are] servants
<05650>

in it:

9:37

And it yieldeth much
<07235> (8688)

increase
<08393>

unto the kings
<04428>

whom thou hast set
<05414> (8804)

over us because of our sins
<02403>_:

also they have dominion
<04910> (8802)

over our bodies
<01472>_,

and over our cattle
<0929>_,

at their pleasure
<07522>_,

and we [are] in great
<01419>

distress
<06869>_.

9:38

And because of all this we make
<03772> (8802)

a sure
<0548>

[covenant], and write
