| 1:2 |
that Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, whichthat were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. |
| 1:5 |
and said, I beseech thee, O LordJehovah, the God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercylovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments: |
| 1:6 |
Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee:. yeaYea, I and my fathers house have sinned,: |
| 1:7 |
we have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgementsordinances, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. |
| 1:9 |
but if ye return unto me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavenheavens, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there. |
| 1:11 |
O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who delight to fear thy name:; and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king. |
| 2:5 |
And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favourfavor in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers sepulchres, that I may build it. |
| 2:6 |
And the king said unto me, the queen also sitting by him, For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. |
| 2:7 |
Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the riverRiver, that they may let me pass through till I come unto Judah; |
| 2:9 |
Then I came to the governors beyond the riverRiver, and gave them the kings letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen. |
| 2:12 |
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem:; neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. |
| 2:13 |
And I went out by night by the valley gate, even toward the dragonsjackals well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire. |
| 2:17 |
Then said I unto them, Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. |
| 2:18 |
And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me;, as also of the kings words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good work. |
| 2:20 |
Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. |
| 3:7 |
And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, whichthat appertained to the throne of the governor beyond the riverRiver. |
| 3:8 |
Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, goldsmiths. And next unto him repaired Hananiah one of the apothecariesperfumers, and they fortified Jerusalem even unto the broad wall. |
| 3:10 |
And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabneiah. |
| 3:15 |
And the fountain gate repaired ShallumShallun the son of Col hozeh, the ruler of the district of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Shelah by the kings garden, even unto the stairs that go down from the city of David. |
| 3:19 |
And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another portion, over against the goingascent up to the armouryarmory at the turning of the wall. |
| 4:1 |
But it came to pass that, when Sanballat heard that we buildedwere building the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews. |
| 4:2 |
And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What doare these feeble Jews doing? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned? |
| 4:3 |
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they buildare building, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall. |
| 4:4 |
Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up tofor spoilinga spoil in a land of captivity:; |
| 4:5 |
and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee:; for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders. |
| 4:12 |
And it came to pass that, when the Jews whichthat dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times from all places, Ye must return unto us. |
| 4:13 |
Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, Inin the open places, I even set there the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows. |
| 4:14 |
And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, whichwho is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. |
| 4:17 |
They that builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselves,; every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon; |
| 4:20 |
in what place soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God shallwill fight for us. |
| 4:22 |
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labourlabor in the day. |
| 4:23 |
So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard whichthat followed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one went with his weapon to the water. |
| 5:2 |
For there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many: let us get corngrain, that we may eat and live. |
| 5:3 |
Some also there were that said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses: let us get corngrain, because of the dearth. |
| 5:8 |
And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, whichthat were sold unto the heathennations; and would ye even sell your brethren, and should they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word. |
| 5:9 |
Also I said, The thing that ye do is not good: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the heathennations our enemies? |
| 5:10 |
And I likewise, my brethren and my servants, do lend them money and corn on usurygrain. I pray you, let us leave off this usury. |
| 5:11 |
Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corngrain, the new wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. |
| 5:12 |
Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they shouldwould do according to this promise. |
| 5:13 |
Also I shook out my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labourlabor, that performeth not this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregationassembly said, Amen, and praised the LordJehovah. And the people did according to this promise. |
| 5:15 |
But the former governors that were before me were chargeable unto the people, and took of them bread and wine, besidebesides forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God. |
| 5:17 |
Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, ana hundred and fifty men, besidebesides those that came unto us from among the heathennations that were round about us. |
| 6:1 |
Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;, |
| 6:3 |
And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: Whywhy should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? |
| 6:5 |
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;, |
| 6:6 |
wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou buildestart building the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words. |
| 6:12 |
And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him:; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. |
| 6:16 |
And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard thereof, that all the heathennations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes:; for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God. |
| 7:2 |
that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem:; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many. |
| 7:4 |
Now the city was wide and large:; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded. |
| 7:5 |
And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them whichthat came up at the first, and I found written therein: |
| 7:8 |

| 7:63 |
And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, whichwho took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name. |
| 7:65 |
And the Tirshathagovernor said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim. |
| 7:66 |
The whole congregationassembly together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, |
| 7:67 |
besidebesides their menservantsmen servants and their maidservantsmaid servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven,: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women. |
| 7:70 |
And some from among the heads of fathers houses gave unto the work. The Tirshathagovernor gave to the treasury a thousand darics of gold, fifty basonsbasins, five hundred and thirty priests garments. |
| 8:1 |
And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which theJehovah Lord had commanded to Israel. |
| 8:2 |
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregationassembly, both men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. |
| 8:5 |
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; for he was above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up:. |
| 8:6 |
andAnd Ezra blessed the LordJehovah, the great God.; Andand all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with the lifting up of their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped theJehovah Lord with their faces to the ground. |
| 8:9 |
And Nehemiah, whichwho was the Tirshathagovernor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto theJehovah Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. |
| 8:10 |
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared:; for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye grieved; for the joy of theJehovah Lord is your strength. |
| 8:14 |
And they found written in the law, how that theJehovah Lord had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:; |
| 8:17 |
And all the congregationassembly of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. |
| 8:18 |
Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the ordinance. |
| 9:2 |
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangersforeigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. |
| 9:3 |
And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of theJehovah Lord their God a fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped theJehovah Lord their God. |
| 9:4 |
Then stood up upon the stairs of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto theJehovah Lord their God. |
| 9:5 |
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless theJehovah Lord your God from everlasting to everlasting:; and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. |
| 9:6 |
Thou art the LordJehovah, even thou alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. |
| 9:7 |
ThenThou art theJehovah Lord the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;, |
| 9:8 |
and foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, even to give it unto his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous. |
| 9:9 |
And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red Sea;, |
| 9:10 |
and shewedstshowedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them;, and didst get thee a name, as it is this day. |
| 9:12 |
Moreover thou leddest them in a pillar of cloud thou leddest them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. |
| 9:13 |
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgementsordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments:, |
| 9:14 |
and madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by the hand of Moses thy servant:, |
| 9:15 |
and gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commandedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst liftedsworn up thine hand to give them. |
| 9:17 |
and refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them;, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage:. butBut thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and full of compassionmerciful, slow to anger, and plenteousabundant in mercylovingkindness, and forsookest them not. |
| 9:19 |
yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shewshow them light, and the way wherein they should go. |
| 9:20 |
Thou gavest also thy good spiritSpirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. |
| 9:23 |
Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou didst say to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it. |
| 9:25 |
And they took fencedfortified cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns hewn out, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness. |
| 9:26 |
Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and slew thy prophets whichthat testified against them to turn them again unto thee, and they wrought great provocations. |
| 9:28 |
But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee:; therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;, |
| 9:29 |
and testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law:. yetYet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thythine judgements,ordinances which if a man do, he shall live in them, and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. |
| 9:30 |
Yet many years didst thou bear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy spiritSpirit through thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. |
| 9:32 |
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercylovingkindness, let not all the travail seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers;, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. |
| 9:33 |
Howbeit thou art just in all that is come upon us; for thou hast dealt truly, but we have done wickedly:; |
| 9:34 |
neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. |
