8:1
And all the people
<05971>
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8735)
as one

<0376>
into the street
<07339>
that [was] before
<06440>

<04325>

<08179>_;
and they spake
<0559> (8799)
unto Ezra
<05830>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
to bring
<0935> (8687)
the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
to Israel
<03478>_.
8:2
And Ezra
<05830>
the priest
<03548>
brought
<0935> (8686)
the law
<08451>
before
<06440>
the congregation
<06951>
both of men
<0376>
and women
<0802>_,
and all that could hear
<08085> (8800)
with understanding
<0995> (8688)_,
upon the first
<0259>
day
<03117>
of the seventh
<07637>

<02320>_.
{that...: Heb. that understood in hearing}
8:3
And he read
<07121> (8799)
therein before
<06440>
the street
<07339>
that [was] before
<06440>
the water
<04325>
gate
<08179>
from the morning
<0216>
until midday
<04276> <03117>_,
before the men
<0582>
and the women
<0802>_,
and those that could understand
<0995> (8688)_;
and the ears
<0241>
of all the people
<05971>
[were attentive] unto the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>_.
{from...: Heb. from the light}
8:4
And Ezra
<05830>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
stood
<05975> (8799)
upon a pulpit
<04026>
of wood
<06086>_,
which they had made
<06213> (8804)
for the purpose
<01697>_;
and beside
<0681>
him stood

and Shema
<08087>_,
and Anaiah
<06043>_,
and Urijah
<0223>_,
and Hilkiah

and Maaseiah
<04641>_,

<03225>_;
and on his left hand

and Hashum
<02828>_,

<02806>_,

<02148>_,
[and] Meshullam

{pulpit...: Heb. tower of wood}
8:5
And Ezra
<05830>
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>_,
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
<03789> (8802)
[it]; and our princes
<08269>_,

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

nor take

bring

ware

or any victuals

on the sabbath

day

of every debt

Also we made

over against them, to praise
<01984> (8763)

according to the commandment

the man

<0430>_,
ward

the ward
<04929>
at the thresholds
<0624>

<08179>_.
{thresholds: or, treasuries, or, assemblies}
12:26
These [were] in the days
<03117>
of Joiakim
<03113>
the son
<01121>
of Jeshua
<03442>_,
the son

and of Ezra
<05830>
the priest
<03548>_,
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_.
12:27
And at the dedication
<02598>
of the wall
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
they sought
<01245> (8765)
the Levites
<03881>
out of all their places
<04725>_,
to bring
<0935> (8687)
them to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to keep
<06213> (8800)
the dedication
<02598>
with gladness
<08057>_,
both with thanksgivings
<08426>_,
and with singing
<07892>_,
[with] cymbals
<04700>_,
psalteries
<05035>_,
and with harps
<03658>_.
12:28
And the sons
<01121>
of the singers
<07891> (8789)
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8735)_,
both out of the plain country
<03603>
round about
<05439>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and from the villages
<02691>
of Netophathi
<05200>_;
12:29
Also from the house
<01004>
of Gilgal
<01537> (8677) <01019>_,
and out of the fields
<07704>
of Geba
<01387>
and Azmaveth
<05820>_:
for the singers
<07891> (8789)
had builded
<01129> (8804)
them villages
<02691>
round about
<05439>
Jerusalem
<03389>_.
12:30
And the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>
purified
<02891> (8691)
themselves, and purified
<02891> (8762)
the people
<05971>_,
and the gates
<08179>_,
and the wall
<02346>_.
12:31
Then I brought up
<05927> (8686)
the princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>
upon the wall
<02346>_,
and appointed
<05975> (8686)
two
<08147>
great
<01419>
[companies of them that gave] thanks
<08426>_,
[whereof one] went
<08418>
on the right hand
<03225>
upon the wall
<02346>
toward the dung
<0830>
gate
<08179>_:
12:32
And after
<0310>
them went
<03212> (8799)
Hoshaiah
<01955>_,
and half
<02677>
of the princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>_,
12:33
And Azariah
<05838>_,
Ezra
<05830>_,
and Meshullam
<04918>_,
12:34
Judah
<03063>_,
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
and Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Jeremiah
<03414>_,
12:35
And [certain] of the priests
<03548>_'
sons
<01121>
with trumpets
<02689>_;
[namely], Zechariah
<02148>
the son
<01121>
of Jonathan
<03129>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shemaiah
<08098>_,
the son
<01121>
of Mattaniah
<04983>_,
the son
<01121>
of Michaiah
<04320>_,
the son
<01121>
of Zaccur
<02139>_,
the son
<01121>
of Asaph
<0623>_:
12:36
And his brethren
<0251>_,
Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Azarael
<05832>_,
Milalai
<04450>_,
Gilalai
<01562>_,
Maai
<04597>_,
Nethaneel
<05417>_,
and Judah
<03063>_,
Hanani
<02607>_,
with the musical
<07892>
instruments
<03627>
of David
<01732>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and Ezra
<05830>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
before
<06440>
them.
12:37
And at the fountain
<05869>
gate
<08179>_,
which was over against them, they went up
<05927> (8804)
by the stairs
<04609>
of the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
at the going up
<04608>
of the wall
<02346>_,
above the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_,
even unto the water
<04325>
gate
<08179>
eastward
<04217>_.
12:38
And the other
<08145>
[company of them that gave] thanks
<08426>
went
<01980> (8802)
over against
<04136>
[them], and I after
<0310>
them, and the half
<02677>
of the people
<05971>
upon the wall
<02346>_,
from beyond the tower
<04026>
of the furnaces
<08574>
even unto the broad
<07342>
wall
<02346>_;
12:39
And from above the gate
<08179>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
and above the old
<03465>
gate
<08179>_,
and above the fish
<01709>
gate
<08179>_,
and the tower
<04026>
of Hananeel
<02606>_,
and the tower
<04026>
of Meah
<03968>_,
even unto the sheep
<06629>
gate
<08179>_:
and they stood still
<05975> (8804)
in the prison
<04307>
gate
<08179>_.
12:40
So stood
<05975> (8799)
the two
<08147>
[companies of them that gave] thanks
<08426>
in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
and I, and the half
<02677>
of the rulers
<05461>
with me:
12:41
And the priests
<03548>_;
Eliakim
<0471>_,
Maaseiah
<04641>_,
Miniamin
<04509>_,
Michaiah
<04320>_,
Elioenai
<0454>_,
Zechariah
<02148>_,
[and] Hananiah
<02608>_,
with trumpets
<02689>_;
12:42
And Maaseiah
<04641>_,
and Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Eleazar
<0499>_,
and Uzzi
<05813>_,
and Jehohanan
<03076>_,
and Malchijah
<04441>_,
and Elam
<05867>_,
and Ezer
<05829>_.
And the singers
<07891> (8789)
sang loud
<08085> (8686)_,
with Jezrahiah
<03156>
[their] overseer
<06496>_.
{sang...: Heb. made their voice to be heard}
12:43
Also that day
<03117>
they offered
<02076> (8799)
great
<01419>
sacrifices
<02077>_,
and rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_:
for God
<0430>
had made them rejoice
<08055> (8765)
with great
<01419>
joy
<08057>_:
the wives
<0802>
also and the children
<03206>
rejoiced
<08055> (8804)_:
so that the joy
<08057>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
was heard
<08085> (8735)
even afar off
<07350>_.
12:44
And at that time
<03117>
were some
<0582>
appointed
<06485> (8735)
over the chambers
<05393>
for the treasures
<0214>_,
for the offerings
<08641>_,
for the firstfruits
<07225>_,
and for the tithes
<04643>_,
to gather
<03664> (8800)
into them out of the fields
<07704>
of the cities
<05892>
the portions
<04521>
of the law
<08451>
for the priests
<03548>
and Levites
<03881>_:
for Judah
<03063>
rejoiced
<08057>
for the priests
<03548>
and for the Levites
<03881>
that waited
<05975> (8802)_.
{of the law: that is, appointed by the law} {for Judah...: Heb. for the joy of Judah} {waited: Heb. stood}
12:45
And both the singers
<07891> (8789)
and the porters
<07778>
kept
<08104> (8799)
the ward
<04931>
of their God
<0430>_,
and the ward
<04931>
of the purification
<02893>_,
according to the commandment
<04687>
of David
<01732>_,
[and] of Solomon
<08010>
his son
<01121>_.
12:46
For in the days
<03117>
of David
<01732>
and Asaph
<0623>
of old
<06924>
[there were] chief
<07218>
of the singers
<07891> (8789)_,
and songs
<07892>
of praise
<08416>
and thanksgiving
<03034> (8687)
unto God
<0430>_.
12:47
And all Israel
<03478>
in the days
<03117>
of Zerubbabel
<02216>_,
and in the days
<03117>
of Nehemiah
<05166>_,
gave
<05414> (8802)
the portions
<04521>
of the singers
<07891> (8789)
and the porters
<07778>_,
every day
<03117>
his portion
<01697>_:
and they sanctified
<06942> (8688)
[holy things] unto the Levites
<03881>_;
and the Levites
<03881>
sanctified
<06942> (8688)
[them] unto the children
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>_.
{sanctified: that is, set apart}
13:1
On that day
<03117>
they read
<07121> (8738)
in the book
<05612>
of Moses
<04872>
in the audience
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_;
and therein was found
<04672> (8738)
written
<03789> (8803)_,
that the Ammonite
<05984>
and the Moabite
<04125>
should not come
<0935> (8799)
into the congregation
<06951>
of God
<0430>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_;
{they...: Heb. there was read} {audience: Heb. ears}
13:2
Because they met
<06923> (8765)
not the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
with bread
<03899>
and with water
<04325>_,
but hired
<07936> (8799)
Balaam
<01109>
against them, that he should curse
<07043> (8763)
them: howbeit our God
<0430>
turned
<02015> (8799)
the curse
<07045>
into a blessing
<01293>_.
13:3
Now it came to pass, when they had heard
<08085> (8800)
the law
<08451>_,
that they separated
<0914> (8686)
from Israel
<03478>
all the mixed multitude
<06154>_.
13:4
And before
<06440>
this, Eliashib
<0475>
the priest
<03548>_,
having the oversight
<05414> (8803)
of the chamber
<03957>
of the house
<01004>
of our God
<0430>_,
[was] allied
<07138>
unto Tobiah
<02900>_:
{having...: Heb. being set over}
13:5
And he had prepared
<06213> (8799)
for him a great
<01419>
chamber
<03957>_,
where aforetime
<06440>
they laid
<05414> (8802)
the meat offerings
<04503>_,
the frankincense
<03828>_,
and the vessels
<03627>_,
and the tithes
<04643>
of the corn
<01715>_,
the new wine
<08492>_,
and the oil
<03323>_,
which was commanded
<04687>
[to be given] to the Levites
<03881>_,
and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,
and the porters
<07778>_;
and the offerings
<08641>
of the priests
<03548>_.
{which...: Heb. the commandment of the Levites}
13:6
But in all this [time] was not I at Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for in the two
<08147>
and thirtieth
<07970>
year
<08141>
of Artaxerxes
<0783>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came
<0935> (8804)
I unto the king
<04428>_,
and after
<07093>
certain days
<03117>
obtained I leave
<07592> (8738)
of the king
<04428>_:
{after...: Heb. at the end of days} {obtained...: or, I earnestly requested}
13:7
And I came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and understood
<0995> (8799)
of the evil
<07451>
that Eliashib
<0475>
did
<06213> (8804)
for Tobiah
<02900>_,
in preparing
<06213> (8800)
him a chamber
<05393>
in the courts
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
13:8
And it grieved
<03415> (8799)
me sore
<03966>_:
therefore I cast forth
<07993> (8686)
all the household
<01004>
stuff
<03627>
of Tobiah
<02900>
out of
<02351>
the chamber
<03957>_.
13:9
Then I commanded
<0559> (8799)_,
and they cleansed
<02891> (8762)
the chambers
<03957>_:
and thither brought I again
<07725> (8686)
the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
with the meat offering
<04503>
and the frankincense
<03828>_.
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}
13:24
And their children
<01121>
spake
<01696> (8764)
half
<02677>
in the speech of Ashdod
<0797>_,
and could
<05234> (8688)
not speak
<01696> (8763)
in the Jews' language
<03066>_,
but according to the language
<03956>
of each
<05971>
people
<05971>_.
{could...: Heb. they discerned not to speak} {of each...: Heb. of people and people}
13:25
And I contended
<07378> (8799)
with them, and cursed
<07043> (8762)
them, and smote
<05221> (8686)
certain
<0582>
of them, and plucked off their hair
<04803> (8799)_,
and made them swear
<07650> (8686)
by God
<0430>_,
[saying], Ye shall not give
<05414> (8799)
your daughters
<01323>
unto their sons
<01121>_,
nor take
<05375> (8799)
their daughters
<01323>
unto your sons
<01121>_,
or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}
13:26
Did not Solomon
<08010>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
sin
<02398> (8804)
by these things? yet among many
<07227>
nations
<01471>
was there no king
<04428>
like him, who was beloved
<0157> (8803)
of his God
<0430>_,
and God
<0430>
made
<05414> (8799)
him king
<04428>
over all Israel
<03478>_:
nevertheless even him
<01571>
did outlandish
<05237>
women
<0802>
cause to sin
<02398> (8689)_.
13:27
Shall we then hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto you to do
<06213> (8800)
all this great
<01419>
evil
<07451>_,
to transgress
<04603> (8800)
against our God
<0430>
in marrying
<03427> (8687)
strange
<05237>
wives
<0802>_?
13:28
And [one] of the sons
<01121>
of Joiada
<03111>_,
the son
<01121>
of Eliashib
<0475>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>_,
[was] son in law
<02860>
to Sanballat
<05571>
the Horonite
<02772>_:
therefore I chased
<01272> (8686)
him from me.
13:29
Remember
<02142> (8798)
them, O my God
<0430>_,
because they have defiled
<01352>
the priesthood
<03550>_,
and the covenant
<01285>
of the priesthood
<03550>_,
and of the Levites
<03881>_.
{because...: Heb. for the defilings}
13:30
Thus cleansed
<02891> (8765)
I them from all strangers
<05236>_,
and appointed
<05975> (8686)
the wards
<04931>
of the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
every one
<0376>
in his business
<04399>_;
13:31
And for the wood
<06086>
offering
<07133>_,
at times
<06256>
appointed
<02163> (8794)_,
and for the firstfruits
<01061>_.
Remember
<02142> (8798)
me, O my God
<0430>_,
for good
<02896>_.
