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)_.
