THE BOOK OF
NEHEMIAH
1Nehemiah1 1:1
The
words
of
Nehemiah
the
son
of
Hacaliah.
Now
it
came
to
pass
in
the
month
Chislev,
in
the
twentieth
year,
as
I
was
in
Shushan
the
palace,
2 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,
that
were
left
of
the
captivity,
and
concerning
Jerusalem.
3 1:3
And
they
said
unto
me,
The
remnant
that
are
left
of
the
captivity
there
in
the
province
are
in
great
affliction
and
reproach:
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
also
is
broken
down,
and
the
gates
thereof
are
burned
with
fire.
4 1:4
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
I
heard
these
words,
that
I
sat
down
and
wept,
and
mourned
certain
days;
and
I
fasted
and
prayed
before
the
God
of
heaven,
5 1:5
and
said,
I
beseech
thee,
O
Jehovah,
the
God
of
heaven,
the
great
and
terrible
God,
that
keepeth
covenant
and
lovingkindness
with
them
that
love
him
and
keep
his
commandments:
6 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.
Yea,
I
and
my
father’s
house
have
sinned:
7 1:7
we
have
dealt
very
corruptly
against
thee,
and
have
not
kept
the
commandments,
nor
the
statutes,
nor
the
ordinances,
which
thou
commandedst
thy
servant
Moses.
8 1:8
Remember,
I
beseech
thee,
the
word
that
thou
commandedst
thy
servant
Moses,
saying,
If
ye
trespass,
I
will
scatter
you
abroad
among
the
peoples:
9 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
heavens,
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.
10 1:10
Now
these
are
thy
servants
and
thy
people,
whom
thou
hast
redeemed
by
thy
great
power,
and
by
thy
strong
hand.
11 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.
21 2:1
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
month
Nisan,
in
the
twentieth
year
of
Artaxerxes
the
king,
when
wine
was
before
him,
that
I
took
up
the
wine,
and
gave
it
unto
the
king.
Now
I
had
not
been
beforetime
sad
in
his
presence.
2 2:2
And
the
king
said
unto
me,
Why
is
thy
countenance
sad,
seeing
thou
art
not
sick?
this
is
nothing
else
but
sorrow
of
heart.
Then
I
was
very
sore
afraid.
3 2:3
And
I
said
unto
the
king,
Let
the
king
live
for
ever:
why
should
not
my
countenance
be
sad,
when
the
city,
the
place
of
my
fathers’
sepulchres,
lieth
waste,
and
the
gates
thereof
are
consumed
with
fire?
4 2:4
Then
the
king
said
unto
me,
For
what
dost
thou
make
request?
So
I
prayed
to
the
God
of
heaven.
5 2:5
And
I
said
unto
the
king,
If
it
please
the
king,
and
if
thy
servant
have
found
favor
in
thy
sight,
that
thou
wouldest
send
me
unto
Judah,
unto
the
city
of
my
fathers’
sepulchres,
that
I
may
build
it.
6 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.
7 2:7
Moreover
I
said
unto
the
king,
If
it
please
the
king,
let
letters
be
given
me
to
the
governors
beyond
the
River,
that
they
may
let
me
pass
through
till
I
come
unto
Judah;
8 2:8
and
a
letter
unto
Asaph
the
keeper
of
the
king’s
forest,
that
he
may
give
me
timber
to
make
beams
for
the
gates
of
the
castle
which appertaineth
to
the
house,
and
for
the
wall
of
the
city,
and
for
the
house
that
I
shall
enter
into.
And
the
king
granted
me,
according
to
the
good
hand
of
my
God
upon
me.
9 2:9
Then
I
came
to
the
governors
beyond
the
River,
and
gave
them
the
king’s
letters.
Now
the
king
had
sent
with
me
captains
of
the
army
and
horsemen.
10 2:10
And
when
Sanballat
the
Horonite,
and
Tobiah
the
servant,
the
Ammonite,
heard
of
it,
it
grieved
them
exceedingly,
for
that
there
was
come
a
man
to
seek
the
welfare
of
the
children
of
Israel.
11 2:11
So
I
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
was
there
three
days.
12 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.
13 2:13
And
I
went
out
by
night
by
the
valley
gate,
even
toward
the jackal’s
well,
and
to
the
dung
gate,
and
viewed
the
walls
of
Jerusalem,
which
were
broken
down,
and
the
gates
thereof
were
consumed
with
fire.
14 2:14
Then
I
went
on
to
the
fountain
gate
and
to
the
king’s
pool:
but
there
was
no
place
for
the
beast
that
was
under
me
to
pass.
15 2:15
Then
went
I
up
in
the
night
by
the
brook,
and
viewed
the
wall;
and
I
turned
back,
and
entered
by
the
valley
gate,
and
so
returned.
16 2:16
And
the
rulers
knew
not
whither
I
went,
or
what
I
did;
neither
had
I
as
yet
told
it
to
the
Jews,
nor
to
the
priests,
nor
to
the
nobles,
nor
to
the
rulers,
nor
to
the
rest
that
did
the
work.
17 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.
18 2:18
And
I
told
them
of
the
hand
of
my
God
which
was
good
upon
me,
as
also
of
the
king’s
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.
19 2:19
But
when
Sanballat
the
Horonite,
and
Tobiah
the
servant,
the
Ammonite,
and
Geshem
the
Arabian,
heard
it,
they
laughed
us
to
scorn,
and
despised
us,
and
said,
What
is
this
thing
that
ye
do?
will
ye
rebel
against
the
king?
20 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.
31 3:1
Then
Eliashib
the
high
priest
rose
up
with
his
brethren
the
priests,
and
they
builded
the
sheep
gate;
they
sanctified
it,
and
set
up
the
doors
of
it;
even
unto
the
tower
of Hammeah
they
sanctified
it,
unto
the
tower
of
Hananel.
2 3:2
And
next
unto
him
builded
the
men
of
Jericho.
And
next
to
them
builded
Zaccur
the
son
of
Imri.
3 3:3
And
the
fish
gate
did
the
sons
of
Hassenaah
build;
they
laid
the
beams
thereof,
and
set
up
the

thereof,
the

thereof,
and
the

5 3:5
And
next

them
the

put
not
their
necks
to
the
work
of
their
lord.
6 3:6
And
the
old
gate
repaired
Joiada
the
son
of
Paseah
and
Meshullam
the

they
laid

and

and
the

and
the
bars
thereof.

The

set
up

32 3:32
And
between
the
ascent
of
the
corner
and
the
sheep
gate
repaired
the
goldsmiths
and
the
merchants.
41 4:1
But
it
came
to
pass
that,
when
Sanballat
heard
that
we
were
building
the
wall,
he
was
wroth,
and
took
great
indignation,
and
mocked
the
Jews.
2 4:2
And
he
spake
before
his
brethren
and
the
army
of
Samaria,
and
said,
What
are
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?
3 4:3
Now
Tobiah
the
Ammonite
was
by
him,
and
he
said,
Even
that
which
they
are
building,
if
a
fox
go
up,
he
shall
break
down
their
stone
wall.
4 4:4
Hear,
O
our
God;
for
we
are
despised:
and
turn
back
their
reproach
upon
their
own
head,
and
give
them
up
for
a
spoil
in
a
land
of
captivity;
5 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.
6 4:6
So
we
built
the
wall;
and
all
the
wall
was
joined
together
unto
half
the
height
thereof:
for
the
people
had
a
mind
to
work.
7 4:7
But
it
came
to
pass
that,
when
Sanballat,
and
Tobiah,
and
the
Arabians,
and
the
Ammonites,
and
the
Ashdodites,
heard
that
the
repairing
of
the
walls
of
Jerusalem
went
forward,
and
that
the
breaches
began
to
be
stopped,
then
they
were
very
wroth;
8 4:8
and
they
conspired
all
of
them
together
to
come
and
fight
against
Jerusalem,
and
to
cause
confusion
therein.
9 4:9
But
we
made
our
prayer
unto
our
God,
and
set
a
watch
against
them
day
and
night,
because
of
them.
10 4:10
And
Judah
said,
The
strength
of
the
bearers
of
burdens
is
decayed,
and
there
is
much
rubbish;
so
that
we
are
not
able
to
build
the
wall.
11 4:11
And
our
adversaries
said,
They
shall
not
know,
neither
see,
till
we
come
into
the
midst
of
them,
and
slay
them,
and
cause
the
work
to
cease.
12 4:12
And
it
came
to
pass
that,
when
the
Jews
that
dwelt
by
them
came,
they
said
unto
us
ten
times
from
all
places,
Ye
must
return
unto
us.
13 4:13
Therefore
set
I
in
the
lowest
parts
of
the
space
behind
the
wall,
in
the
open
places,
I
set
there
the
people
after
their
families
with
their
swords,
their
spears,
and
their
bows.
14 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,
who
is
great
and
terrible,
and
fight
for
your
brethren,
your
sons,
and
your
daughters,
your
wives,
and
your
houses.
15 4:15
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
our
enemies
heard
that
it
was
known
unto
us,
and
God
had
brought
their
counsel
to
nought,
that
we
returned
all
of
us
to
the
wall,
every
one
unto
his
work.
16 4:16
And
it
came
to
pass
from
that
time
forth,
that
half
of
my
servants
wrought
in
the
work,
and
half
of
them
held
the
spears,
the
shields,
and
the
bows,
and
the
coats
of
mail;
and
the
rulers
were
behind
all
the
house
of
Judah.
17 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;
18 4:18
and
the
builders,
every
one
had
his
sword
girded
by
his
side,
and
so
builded.
And
he
that
sounded
the
trumpet
was
by
me.
19 4:19
And
I
said
unto
the
nobles,
and
to
the
rulers
and
to
the
rest
of
the
people,
The
work
is
great
and
large,
and
we
are
separated
upon
the
wall,
one
far
from
another:
20 4:20
in
what
place
soever
ye
hear
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
resort
ye
thither
unto
us;
our
God
will
fight
for
us.
21 4:21
So
we
wrought
in
the
work:
and
half
of
them
held
the
spears
from
the
rising
of
the
morning
till
the
stars
appeared.
22 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
labor
in
the
day.
23 4:23
So
neither
I,
nor
my
brethren,
nor
my
servants,
nor
the
men
of
the
guard
that
followed
me,
none
of
us
put
off
our
clothes,
every
one
went
with
his
weapon
to
the
water.
51 5:1
Then
there
arose
a
great
cry
of
the
people
and
of
their
wives
against
their
brethren
the
Jews.
2 5:2
For
there
were
that
said,
We,
our
sons
and
our
daughters,
are
many:
let
us
get
grain,
that
we
may
eat
and
live.
3 5:3
Some
also
there
were
that
said,
We
are
mortgaging
our
fields,
and
our
vineyards,
and
our
houses:
let
us
get
grain,
because
of
the
dearth.
4 5:4
There
were
also
that
said,
We
have
borrowed
money
for
the
king’s
tribute
upon
our
fields
and
our
vineyards.
5 5:5
Yet
now
our
flesh
is
as
the
flesh
of
our
brethren,
our
children
as
their
children:
and,
lo,
we
bring
into
bondage
our
sons
and
our
daughters
to
be
servants,
and
some
of
our
daughters
are
brought
into
bondage
already:
neither
is
it
in
our
power
to
help
it;
for
other
men
have
our
fields
and
our
vineyards.
6 5:6
And
I
was
very
angry
when
I
heard
their
cry
and
these
words.
7 5:7
Then
I
consulted
with
myself,
and
contended
with
the
nobles
and
the
rulers,
and
said
unto
them,
Ye
exact
usury,
every
one
of
his
brother.
And
I
held
a
great
assembly
against
them.
8 5:8
And
I
said
unto
them,
We
after
our
ability
have
redeemed
our
brethren
the
Jews,
that
were
sold
unto
the
nations;
and
would
ye
even
sell
your
brethren,
and
should
they
be
sold
unto
us?
Then
held
they
their
peace,
and
found
never
a
word.
9 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
nations
our
enemies?
10 5:10
And
I
likewise,
my
brethren
and
my
servants,
do
lend
them
money
and
grain.
I
pray
you,
let
us
leave
off
this
usury.
11 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
grain,
the
new
wine,
and
the
oil,
that
ye
exact
of
them.
12 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
would
do
according
to
this
promise.
13 5:13
Also
I
shook
out
my
lap,
and
said,
So
God
shake
out
every
man
from
his
house,
and
from
his
labor,
that
performeth
not
this
promise;
even
thus
be
he
shaken
out,
and
emptied.
And
all
the
assembly
said,
Amen,
and
praised
Jehovah.
And
the
people
did
according
to
this
promise.
14 5:14
Moreover
from
the
time
that
I
was
appointed
to
be
their
governor
in
the
land
of
Judah,
from
the
twentieth
year
even
unto
the
two
and
thirtieth
year
of
Artaxerxes
the
king,
that
is,
twelve
years,
I
and
my
brethren
have
not
eaten
the
bread
of
the
governor.
15 5:15
But
the
former
governors
that
were
before
me
were
chargeable
unto
the
people,
and
took
of
them
bread
and
wine,
besides
forty
shekels
of
silver;
yea,
even
their
servants
bare
rule
over
the
people:
but
so
did
not
I,
because
of
the
fear
of
God.
16 5:16
Yea,
also
I
continued
in
the
work
of
this
wall,
neither
bought
we
any
land:
and
all
my
servants
were
gathered
thither
unto
the
work.
17 5:17
Moreover
there
were
at
my
table,
of
the
Jews
and
the
rulers,
a
hundred
and
fifty
men,
besides
those
that
came
unto
us
from
among
the
nations
that
were
round
about
us.
18 5:18
Now
that
which
was
prepared
for
one
day
was
one
ox
and
six
choice
sheep;
also
fowls
were
prepared
for
me,
and
once
in
ten
days
store
of
all
sorts
of
wine:
yet
for
all
this
I
demanded
not
the
bread
of
the
governor,
because
the
bondage
was
heavy
upon
this
people.
19 5:19
Remember
unto
me,
O
my
God,
for
good,
all
that
I
have
done
for
this
people.
61 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),
2 6:2
that
Sanballat
and
Geshem
sent
unto
me,
saying,
Come,
let
us
meet
together
in
one
of
the
villages
in
the
plain
of
Ono.
But
they
thought
to
do
me
mischief.
3 6:3
And
I
sent
messengers
unto
them,
saying,
I
am
doing
a
great
work,
so
that
I
cannot
come
down:
why
should
the
work
cease,
whilst
I
leave
it,
and
come
down
to
you?
4 6:4
And
they
sent
unto
me
four
times
after
this
sort;
and
I
answered
them
after
the
same
manner.
5 6:5
Then
sent
Sanballat
his
servant
unto
me
in
like
manner
the
fifth
time
with
an
open
letter
in
his
hand,
6 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
art
building
the
wall:
and
thou
wouldest
be
their
king,
according
to
these
words.
7 6:7
And
thou
hast
also
appointed
prophets
to
preach
of
thee
at
Jerusalem,
saying,
There
is
a
king
in
Judah:
and
now
shall
it
be
reported
to
the
king
according
to
these
words.
Come
now
therefore,
and
let
us
take
counsel
together.
8 6:8
Then
I
sent
unto
him,
saying,
There
are
no
such
things
done
as
thou
sayest,
but
thou
feignest
them
out
of
thine
own
heart.
9 6:9
For
they
all
would
have
made
us
afraid,
saying,
Their
hands
shall
be
weakened
from
the
work,
that
it
be
not
done.
But
now,
O
God,
strengthen
thou
my
hands.
10 6:10
And
I
went
unto
the
house
of
Shemaiah
the
son
of
Delaiah
the
son
of
Mehetabel,
who
was
shut
up;
and
he
said,
Let
us
meet
together
in
the
house
of
God,
within
the
temple,
and
let
us
shut
the
doors
of
the
temple:
for
they
will
come
to
slay
thee;
yea,
in
the
night
will
they
come
to
slay
thee.
11 6:11
And
I
said,
Should
such
a
man
as
I
flee?
and
who
is
there,
that,
being
such
as
I,
would
go
into
the
temple
to
save
his
life?
I
will
not
go
in.
12 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.
13 6:13
For
this
cause
was
he
hired,
that
I
should
be
afraid,
and
do
so,
and
sin,
and
that
they
might
have
matter
for
an
evil
report,
that
they
might
reproach
me.
14 6:14
Remember,
O
my
God,
Tobiah
and
Sanballat
according
to
these
their
works,
and
also
the
prophetess
Noadiah,
and
the
rest
of
the
prophets,
that
would
have
put
me
in
fear.
15 6:15
So
the
wall
was
finished
in
the
twenty
and
fifth
day
of
the
month
Elul,
in
fifty
and
two
days.
16 6:16
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
all
our
enemies
heard
thereof,
that
all
the
nations
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.
17 6:17
Moreover
in
those
days
the
nobles
of
Judah
sent
many
letters
unto
Tobiah,
and
the
letters
of
Tobiah
came
unto
them.
18 6:18
For
there
were
many
in
Judah
sworn
unto
him,
because
he
was
the
son-in-law
of
Shecaniah
the
son
of
Arah;
and
his
son
Jehohanan
had
taken
the
daughter
of
Meshullam
the
son
of
Berechiah
to
wife.
19 6:19
Also
they
spake
of
his
good
deeds
before
me,
and
reported
my
words
to
him.
And
Tobiah
sent
letters
to
put
me
in
fear.
71 7:1
Now
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
wall
was
built,
and
I
had
set
up
the
doors,
and
the
porters
and
the
singers
and
the
Levites
were
appointed,
2 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.
3 7:3
And
I
said
unto
them,
Let
not
the
gates
of
Jerusalem
be
opened
until
the
sun
be
hot;
and
while
they
stand
on
guard,
let
them
shut
the
doors,
and
bar
ye
them:
and
appoint
watches
of
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
every
one
in
his
watch,
and
every
one
to
be
over
against
his
house.
4 7:4
Now
the
city
was
wide
and
large;
but
the
people
were
few
therein,
and
the
houses
were
not
builded.
5 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
that
came
up
at
the
first,
and
I
found
written
therein:
6 7:6
These
are
the
children
of
the
province,
that
went
up
out
of
the
captivity
of
those
that
had
been
carried
away,
whom
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
of
Babylon
had
carried
away,
and
that
returned
unto
Jerusalem
and
to
Judah,
every
one
unto
his
city;
7 7:7
who
came
with
Zerubbabel,
Jeshua,
Nehemiah,
Azariah,
Raamiah,
Nahamani,
Mordecai,
Bilshan,
Mispereth,

and

61 7:61
And
these
were
they
that
went
up
from
Tel-melah,
Tel-harsha,
Cherub,
Addon,
and
Immer;
but
they
could
not
show
their
fathers’
houses,
nor
their
seed,
whether
they
were
of
Israel:
62 7:62
The
children
of
Delaiah,
the
children
of
Tobiah,
the
children
of

six
hundred
forty
and

And
of
the
priests:
the
children
of
Hobaiah,
the
children
of
Hakkoz,
the
children
of
Barzillai,
who
took
a
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Barzillai
the
Gileadite,
and
was
called
after
their
name.
64 7:64
These
sought
their
register
among
those
that
were
reckoned
by
genealogy,
but
it
was
not
found:
therefore
were
they deemed
polluted
and
put
from
the
priesthood.
65 7:65
And
the
governor
said
unto
them,
that
they
should
not
eat
of
the
most
holy
things,
till
there
stood
up
a
priest
with
Urim
and
Thummim.
66 7:66
The
whole
assembly
together
was
forty
and
two
thousand
three
hundred
and
threescore,
67 7:67
besides
their men-servants
and
their maid-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.
68 7:68
Their
horses
were
seven
hundred
thirty
and
six;
their

two
hundred
forty
and
five;
69 7:69
their
camels,
four
hundred
thirty
and
five;
their
asses,
six
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty.
70 7:70
And
some
from
among
the
heads
of
fathers’
houses
gave
unto
the
work.
The
governor
gave
to
the
treasury
a
thousand
darics
of
gold,
fifty
basins,
five
hundred
and
thirty
priests’
garments.
71 7:71
And
some
of
the
heads
of
fathers’
houses
gave
into
the
treasury
of
the
work
twenty
thousand
darics
of
gold,
and
two
thousand
and
two
hundred
pounds
of
silver.
72 7:72
And
that
which
the
rest
of
the
people
gave
was
twenty
thousand
darics
of
gold,
and
two
thousand
pounds
of
silver,
and
threescore
and
seven
priests’
garments.
73 7:73
So
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
and
the
porters,
and
the
singers,
and
some
of
the
people,
and
the
Nethinim,
and
all
Israel,
dwelt
in
their
cities.
And
when
the
seventh
month
was
come,
the
children
of
Israel
were
in
their
cities.
81 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
Jehovah
had
commanded
to
Israel.
2 8:2
And
Ezra
the
priest
brought
the
law
before
the
assembly,
both
men
and
women,
and
all
that
could
hear
with
understanding,
upon
the
first
day
of
the
seventh
month.
3 8:3
And
he
read
therein
before
the
broad
place
that
was
before
the
water
gate
from
early
morning
until
midday,
in
the
presence
of
the
men
and
the
women,
and
of
those
that
could
understand;
and
the
ears
of
all
the
people
were
attentive
unto
the
book
of
the
law.
4 8:4
And
Ezra
the
scribe
stood
upon
a
pulpit
of
wood,
which
they
had
made
for
the
purpose;
and
beside
him
stood
Mattithiah,
and
Shema,
and
Anaiah,
and
Uriah,
and
Hilkiah,
and
Maaseiah,
on
his
right
hand;
and
on
his
left
hand,
Pedaiah,
and
Mishael,
and
Malchijah,
and
Hashum,
and
Hashbaddanah,
Zechariah,
and
Meshullam.
5 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.
6 8:6
And
Ezra
blessed
Jehovah,
the
great
God;
and
all
the
people
answered,
Amen,
Amen,
with
the
lifting
up
of
their
hands:
and
they
bowed
their
heads,
and
worshipped
Jehovah
with
their
faces
to
the
ground.
7 8:7
Also
Jeshua,
and
Bani,
and
Sherebiah,
Jamin,
Akkub,
Shabbethai,
Hodiah,
Maaseiah,
Kelita,
Azariah,
Jozabad,
Hanan,
Pelaiah,
and
the
Levites,
caused
the
people
to
understand
the
law:
and
the
people
stood
in
their
place.
8 8:8
And
they
read
in
the
book,
in
the
law
of
God,
distinctly;
and
they
gave
the
sense,
so
that
they
understood
the
reading.
9 8:9
And
Nehemiah,
who
was
the
governor,
and
Ezra
the
priest
the
scribe,
and
the
Levites
that
taught
the
people,
said
unto
all
the
people,
This
day
is
holy
unto
Jehovah
your
God;
mourn
not,
nor
weep.
For
all
the
people
wept,
when
they
heard
the
words
of
the
law.
10 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
Jehovah
is
your
strength.
11 8:11
So
the
Levites
stilled
all
the
people,
saying,
Hold
your
peace,
for
the
day
is
holy;
neither
be
ye
grieved.
12 8:12
And
all
the
people
went
their
way
to
eat,
and
to
drink,
and
to
send
portions,
and
to
make
great
mirth,
because
they
had
understood
the
words
that
were
declared
unto
them.
13 8:13
And
on
the
second
day
were
gathered
together
the
heads
of
fathers’
houses
of
all
the
people,
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
unto
Ezra
the
scribe,
even
to
give
attention
to
the
words
of
the
law.
14 8:14
And
they
found
written
in
the
law,
how
that
Jehovah
had
commanded
by
Moses,
that
the
children
of
Israel
should
dwell
in
booths
in
the
feast
of
the
seventh
month;
15 8:15
and
that
they
should
publish
and
proclaim
in
all
their
cities,
and
in
Jerusalem,
saying,
Go
forth
unto
the
mount,
and
fetch
olive
branches,
and
branches
of
wild
olive,
and
myrtle
branches,
and
palm
branches,
and
branches
of
thick
trees,
to
make
booths,
as
it
is
written.
16 8:16
So
the
people
went
forth,
and
brought
them,
and
made
themselves
booths,
every
one
upon
the
roof
of
his
house,
and
in
their
courts,
and
in
the
courts
of
the
house
of
God,
and
in
the
broad
place
of
the
water
gate,
and
in
the
broad
place
of
the
gate
of
Ephraim.
17 8:17
And
all
the
assembly
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.
18 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.
91 9:1
Now
in
the
twenty
and
fourth
day
of
this
month
the
children
of
Israel
were
assembled
with
fasting,
and
with
sackcloth,
and
earth
upon
them.
2 9:2
And
the
seed
of
Israel
separated
themselves
from
all
foreigners,
and
stood
and
confessed
their
sins,
and
the
iniquities
of
their
fathers.
3 9:3
And
they
stood
up
in
their
place,
and
read
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
Jehovah
their
God
a
fourth
part
of
the
day;
and
another
fourth
part
they
confessed,
and
worshipped
Jehovah
their
God.
4 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
Jehovah
their
God.
5 9:5
Then
the
Levites,
Jeshua,
and
Kadmiel,
Bani,
Hashabneiah,
Sherebiah,
Hodiah,
Shebaniah,
and
Pethahiah,
said,
Stand
up
and
bless
Jehovah
your
God
from
everlasting
to
everlasting;
and
blessed
be
thy
glorious
name,
which
is
exalted
above
all
blessing
and
praise.
6 9:6
Thou
art
Jehovah,
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.
7 9:7
Thou
art
Jehovah
the
God,
who
didst
choose
Abram,
and
broughtest
him
forth
out
of
Ur
of
the
Chaldees,
and
gavest
him
the
name
of
Abraham,
8 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,
to
give
it
unto
his
seed,
and
hast
performed
thy
words;
for
thou
art
righteous.
9 9:9
And
thou
sawest
the
affliction
of
our
fathers
in
Egypt,
and
heardest
their
cry
by
the
Red
Sea,
10 9:10
and showedst
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.
11 9:11
And
thou
didst
divide
the
sea
before
them,
so
that
they
went
through
the
midst
of
the
sea
on
the
dry
land;
and
their
pursuers
thou
didst
cast
into
the
depths,
as
a
stone
into
the
mighty
waters.
12 9:12
Moreover
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.
13 9:13
Thou
camest
down
also
upon
mount
Sinai,
and
spakest
with
them
from
heaven,
and
gavest
them
right
ordinances
and
true
laws,
good
statutes
and
commandments,
14 9:14
and
madest
known
unto
them
thy
holy
sabbath,
and
commandedst
them
commandments,
and
statutes,
and
a
law,
by
Moses
thy
servant,
15 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
sworn
to
give
them.
16 9:16
But
they
and
our
fathers
dealt
proudly,
and
hardened
their
neck,
and
hearkened
not
to
thy
commandments,
17 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.
But
thou
art
a
God
ready
to
pardon,
gracious
and
merciful,
slow
to
anger,
and
abundant
in
lovingkindness,
and
forsookest
them
not.
18 9:18
Yea,
when
they
had
made
them
a
molten
calf,
and
said,
This
is
thy
God
that
brought
thee
up
out
of
Egypt,
and
had
wrought
great
provocations;
19 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
show
them
light,
and
the
way
wherein
they
should
go.
20 9:20
Thou
gavest
also
thy
good
Spirit
to
instruct
them,
and
withheldest
not
thy
manna
from
their
mouth,
and
gavest
them
water
for
their
thirst.
21 9:21
Yea,
forty
years
didst
thou
sustain
them
in
the
wilderness,
and
they
lacked
nothing;
their
clothes
waxed
not
old,
and
their
feet
swelled
not.
22 9:22
Moreover
thou
gavest
them
kingdoms
and
peoples,
which
thou
didst
allot
after
their
portions:
so
they
possessed
the
land
of
Sihon,
even
the
land
of
the
king
of
Heshbon,
and
the
land
of
Og
king
of
Bashan.
23 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.
24 9:24
So
the
children
went
in
and
possessed
the
land,
and
thou
subduedst
before
them
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
the
Canaanites,
and
gavest
them
into
their
hands,
with
their
kings,
and
the
peoples
of
the
land,
that
they
might
do
with
them
as
they
would.
25 9:25
And
they
took
fortified
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.
26 9:26
Nevertheless
they
were
disobedient,
and
rebelled
against
thee,
and
cast
thy
law
behind
their
back,
and
slew
thy
prophets
that
testified
against
them
to
turn
them
again
unto
thee,
and
they
wrought
great
provocations.
27 9:27
Therefore
thou
deliveredst
them
into
the
hand
of
their
adversaries,
who
distressed
them:
and
in
the
time
of
their
trouble,
when
they
cried
unto
thee,
thou
heardest
from
heaven;
and
according
to
thy
manifold
mercies
thou
gavest
them
saviours
who
saved
them
out
of
the
hand
of
their
adversaries.
28 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,
29 9:29
and
testifiedst
against
them,
that
thou mightest
bring
them
again
unto
thy
law.
Yet
they
dealt
proudly,
and
hearkened
not
unto
thy
commandments,
but
sinned
against
thine
ordinances (which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall
live
in
them),
and
withdrew
the
shoulder,
and
hardened
their
neck,
and
would
not
hear.
30 9:30
Yet
many
years
didst
thou
bear
with
them,
and
testifiedst
against
them
by
thy
Spirit
through
thy
prophets:
yet
would
they
not
give
ear:
therefore
gavest
thou
them
into
the
hand
of
the
peoples
of
the
lands.
31 9:31
Nevertheless
in
thy
manifold
mercies
thou
didst
not
make
a
full
end
of
them,
nor
forsake
them;
for
thou
art
a
gracious
and
merciful
God.
32 9:32
Now
therefore,
our
God,
the
great,
the
mighty,
and
the
terrible
God,
who
keepest
covenant
and
lovingkindness,
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.
33 9:33
Howbeit
thou
art
just
in
all
that
is
come
upon
us;
for
thou
hast
dealt
truly,
but
we
have
done
wickedly;
34 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.
35 9:35
For
they
have
not
served
thee
in
their
kingdom,
and
in
thy
great
goodness
that
thou
gavest
them,
and
in
the
large
and
fat
land
which
thou
gavest
before
them,
neither
turned
they
from
their
wicked
works.
36 9:36
Behold,
we
are
servants
this
day,
and
as
for
the
land
that
thou
gavest
unto
our
fathers
to
eat
the
fruit
thereof
and
the
good
thereof,
behold,
we
are
servants
in
it.
37 9:37
And
it
yieldeth
much
increase
unto
the
kings
whom
thou
hast
set
over
us
because
of
our
sins:
also
they
have
power
over
our
bodies,
and
over
our
cattle,
at
their
pleasure,
and
we
are
in
great
distress.
38 9:38
And
yet
for
all
this
we
make
a
sure
covenant,
and
write
it;
and
our
princes,
our
Levites,
and
our
priests,
seal
unto
it.
101 10:1

28 10:28
And
the
rest
of
the
people,
the
priests,
the
Levites,
the
porters,
the
singers,
the
Nethinim,
and
all
they
that
had
separated
themselves
from
the
peoples
of
the
lands
unto
the
law
of
God,
their
wives,
their
sons,
and
their
daughters,
every
one
that
had
knowledge,
and
understanding;
29 10:29
they
clave
to
their
brethren,
their
nobles,
and
entered
into
a
curse,
and
into
an
oath,
to
walk
in
God’s
law,
which
was
given
by
Moses
the
servant
of
God,
and
to
observe
and
do
all
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
our
Lord,
and
his
ordinances
and
his
statutes;
30 10:30
and
that
we
would
not
give
our
daughters
unto
the
peoples
of
the
land,
nor
take
their
daughters
for
our
sons;
31 10:31
and
if
the
peoples
of
the
land
bring
wares
or
any
grain
on
the
sabbath
day
to
sell,
that
we
would
not
buy
of
them
on
the
sabbath,
or
on
a
holy
day;
and
that
we
would
forego
the
seventh
year,
and
the
exaction
of
every
debt.
32 10:32
Also
we
made
ordinances
for
us,
to
charge
ourselves
yearly
with
the
third
part
of
a
shekel
for
the
service
of
the
house
of
our
God;
33 10:33
for
the
showbread,
and
for
the
continual meal-offering,
and
for
the
continual burnt-offering,
for
the
sabbaths,
for
the
new
moons,
for
the
set
feasts,
and
for
the
holy
things,
and
for
the sin-offerings
to
make
atonement
for
Israel,
and
for
all
the
work
of
the
house
of
our
God.
34 10:34
And
we
cast
lots,
the
priests,
the
Levites,
and
the
people,
for
the wood-offering,
to
bring
it
into
the
house
of
our
God,
according
to
our
fathers’
houses,
at
times
appointed,
year
by
year,
to
burn
upon
the
altar
of
Jehovah
our
God,
as
it
is
written
in
the
law;
35 10:35
and
to
bring
the first-fruits
of
our
ground,
and
the first-fruits
of
all
fruit
of
all
manner
of
trees,
year
by
year,
unto
the
house
of
Jehovah;
36 10:36
also
the first-born
of
our
sons,
and
of
our
cattle,
as
it
is
written
in
the
law,
and
the
firstlings
of
our
herds
and
of
our
flocks,
to
bring
to
the
house
of
our
God,
unto
the
priests
that
minister
in
the
house
of
our
God;
37 10:37
and
that
we
should
bring
the first-fruits
of
our
dough,
and
our heave-offerings,
and
the
fruit
of
all
manner
of
trees,
the
new
wine
and
the
oil,
unto
the
priests,
to
the
chambers
of
the
house
of
our
God;
and
the
tithes
of
our
ground
unto
the
Levites;
for
they,
the
Levites,
take
the
tithes
in
all
the
cities
of
our
tillage.
38 10:38
And
the
priest
the
son
of
Aaron
shall
be
with
the
Levites,
when
the
Levites
take
tithes:
and
the
Levites
shall
bring
up
the
tithe
of
the
tithes
unto
the
house
of
our
God,
to
the
chambers,
into
the treasure-house.
39 10:39
For
the
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Levi
shall
bring
the heave-offering
of
the
grain,
of
the
new
wine,
and
of
the
oil,
unto
the
chambers,
where
are
the
vessels
of
the
sanctuary,
and
the
priests
that
minister,
and
the
porters,
and
the
singers:
and
we
will
not
forsake
the
house
of
our
God.
111 11:1
And
the
princes
of
the
people
dwelt
in
Jerusalem:
the
rest
of
the
people
also
cast
lots,
to
bring
one
of
ten
to
dwell
in
Jerusalem
the
holy
city,
and
nine
parts
in
the
other
cities.
2 11:2
And
the
people
blessed
all
the
men
that
willingly
offered
themselves
to
dwell
in
Jerusalem.
3 11:3
Now
these
are
the
chiefs
of
the
province
that
dwelt
in
Jerusalem:
but
in
the
cities
of
Judah
dwelt
every
one
in
his

concerning
them,
and
a

provision
for
the

as
every

required.
24 11:24
And

and
Jeshua
the
son
of
Kadmiel,
with
their
brethren
over
against
them,
to
praise
and
give
thanks,
according
to
the
commandment
of
David
the
man
of
God,
watch
next
to
watch.
25 12:25
Mattaniah,
and
Bakbukiah,
Obadiah,
Meshullam,
Talmon,
Akkub,
were
porters
keeping
the
watch
at
the store-houses
of
the
gates.
26 12:26
These
were
in
the
days
of
Joiakim
the
son
of
Jeshua,
the
son
of
Jozadak,
and
in
the
days
of
Nehemiah
the
governor,
and
of
Ezra
the
priest
the
scribe.
27 12:27
And
at
the
dedication
of
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
they
sought
the
Levites
out
of
all
their
places,
to
bring
them
to
Jerusalem,
to
keep
the
dedication
with
gladness,
both
with
thanksgivings,
and
with
singing,
with
cymbals,
psalteries,
and
with
harps.
28 12:28
And
the
sons
of
the
singers
gathered
themselves
together,
both
out
of
the
plain
round
about
Jerusalem,
and
from
the
villages
of
the
Netophathites;
29 12:29
also
from
Beth-gilgal,
and
out
of
the
fields
of
Geba
and
Azmaveth:
for
the
singers
had
builded
them
villages
round
about
Jerusalem.
30 12:30
And
the
priests
and
the
Levites
purified
themselves;
and
they
purified
the
people,
and
the
gates,
and
the
wall.
31 12:31
Then
I
brought
up
the
princes
of
Judah
upon
the
wall,
and
appointed
two
great
companies
that
gave
thanks
and
went
in
procession;
whereof
one
went
on
the
right
hand
upon
the
wall
toward
the
dung
gate:
32 12:32
and
after
them
went
Hoshaiah,
and
half
of
the
princes
of
Judah,
33 12:33
and
Azariah,
Ezra,
and
Meshullam,
34 12:34
Judah,
and
Benjamin,
and
Shemaiah,
and
Jeremiah,
35 12:35
and
certain
of
the
priests’
sons
with
trumpets:
Zechariah
the
son
of
Jonathan,
the
son
of
Shemaiah,
the
son
of
Mattaniah,
the
son
of
Micaiah,
the
son
of
Zaccur,
the
son
of
Asaph;
36 12:36
and
his
brethren,
Shemaiah,
and
Azarel,
Milalai,
Gilalai,
Maai,
Nethanel,
and
Judah,
Hanani,
with
the
musical
instruments
of
David
the
man
of
God;
and
Ezra
the
scribe
was
before
them.
37 12:37
And
by
the
fountain
gate,
and
straight
before
them,
they
went
up
by
the
stairs
of
the
city
of
David,
at
the
ascent
of
the
wall,
above
the
house
of
David,
even
unto
the
water
gate
eastward.
38 12:38
And
the
other
company
of
them
that
gave
thanks
went
to
meet
them,
and
I
after
them,
with
the
half
of
the
people,
upon
the
wall,
above
the
tower
of
the
furnaces,
even
unto
the
broad
wall,
39 12:39
and
above
the
gate
of
Ephraim,
and
by
the
old
gate,
and
by
the
fish
gate,
and
the
tower
of
Hananel,
and
the
tower
of Hammeah,
even
unto
the
sheep
gate:
and
they
stood
still
in
the
gate
of
the
guard.
40 12:40
So
stood
the
two
companies
of
them
that
gave
thanks
in
the
house
of
God,
and
I,
and
the
half
of
the
rulers
with
me;
41 12:41
and
the
priests,
Eliakim,
Maaseiah,
Miniamin,
Micaiah,
Elioenai,
Zechariah,
and
Hananiah,
with
trumpets;
42 12:42
and
Maaseiah,
and
Shemaiah,
and
Eleazar,
and
Uzzi,
and
Jehohanan,
and
Malchijah,
and
Elam,
and
Ezer.
And
the
singers
sang
loud,
with
Jezrahiah
their
overseer.
43 12:43
And
they
offered
great
sacrifices
that
day,
and
rejoiced;
for
God
had
made
them
rejoice
with
great
joy;
and
the
women
also
and
the
children
rejoiced:
so
that
the
joy
of
Jerusalem
was
heard
even
afar
off.
44 12:44
And
on
that
day
were
men
appointed
over
the
chambers
for
the
treasures,
for
the heave-offerings,
for
the first-fruits,
and
for
the
tithes,
to
gather
into
them,
according
to
the
fields
of
the
cities,
the
portions
appointed
by
the
law
for
the
priests
and
Levites:
for
Judah
rejoiced
for
the
priests
and
for
the
Levites
that
waited.
45 12:45
And
they
kept
the
charge
of
their
God,
and
the
charge
of
the
purification,
and
so
did
the
singers
and
the
porters,
according
to
the
commandment
of
David,
and
of
Solomon
his
son.
46 12:46
For
in
the
days
of
David
and
Asaph
of
old
there
was
a
chief
of
the
singers,
and
songs
of
praise
and
thanksgiving
unto
God.
47 12:47
And
all
Israel
in
the
days
of
Zerubbabel,
and
in
the
days
of
Nehemiah,
gave
the
portions
of
the
singers
and
the
porters,
as
every
day
required:
and
they
set
apart
that
which
was
for
the
Levites;
and
the
Levites
set
apart
that
which
was
for
the
sons
of
Aaron.
131 13:1
On
that
day
they
read
in
the
book
of
Moses
in
the
audience
of
the
people;
and
therein
was
found
written,
that
an
Ammonite
and
a
Moabite
should
not
enter
into
the
assembly
of
God
for
ever,
2 13:2
because
they
met
not
the
children
of
Israel
with
bread
and
with
water,
but
hired
Balaam
against
them,
to
curse
them:
howbeit
our
God
turned
the
curse
into
a
blessing.
3 13:3
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
had
heard
the
law,
that
they
separated
from
Israel
all
the
mixed
multitude.
4 13:4
Now
before
this,
Eliashib
the
priest,
who
was
appointed
over
the
chambers
of
the
house
of
our
God,
being
allied
unto
Tobiah,
5 13:5
had
prepared
for
him
a
great
chamber,
where
aforetime
they
laid
the meal-offerings,
the
frankincense,
and
the
vessels,
and
the
tithes
of
the
grain,
the
new
wine,
and
the
oil,
which
were
given
by
commandment
to
the
Levites,
and
the
singers,
and
the
porters;
and
the heave-offerings
for
the
priests.
6 13:6
But
in
all
this
time
I
was
not
at
Jerusalem;
for
in
the
two
and
thirtieth
year
of
Artaxerxes
king
of
Babylon
I
went
unto
the
king:
and
after
certain
days
asked
I
leave
of
the
king,
7 13:7
and
I
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
understood
the
evil
that
Eliashib
had
done
for
Tobiah,
in
preparing
him
a
chamber
in
the
courts
of
the
house
of
God.
8 13:8
And
it
grieved
me
sore:
therefore
I
cast
forth
all
the
household
stuff
of
Tobiah
out
of
the
chamber.
9 13:9
Then
I
commanded,
and
they
cleansed
the
chambers:
and
thither
brought
I
again
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
God,
with
the meal-offerings
and
the
frankincense.
10 13:10
And
I
perceived
that
the
portions
of
the
Levites
had
not
been
given
them;
so
that
the
Levites
and
the
singers,
that
did
the
work,
were
fled
every
one
to
his
field.
11 13:11
Then
contended
I
with
the
rulers,
and
said,
Why
is
the
house
of
God
forsaken?
And
I
gathered
them
together,
and
set
them
in
their
place.
12 13:12
Then
brought
all
Judah
the
tithe
of
the
grain
and
the
new
wine
and
the
oil
unto
the
treasuries.
13 13:13
And
I
made
treasurers
over
the
treasuries,
Shelemiah
the
priest,
and
Zadok
the
scribe,
and
of
the
Levites,
Pedaiah:
and
next
to
them
was
Hanan
the
son
of
Zaccur,
the
son
of
Mattaniah;
for
they
were
counted
faithful,
and
their
business
was
to
distribute
unto
their
brethren.
14 13:14
Remember
me,
O
my
God,
concerning
this,
and
wipe
not
out
my
good
deeds
that
I
have
done
for
the
house
of
my
God,
and
for
the observances
thereof.
15 13:15
In
those
days
saw
I
in
Judah
some
men
treading
winepresses
on
the
sabbath,
and
bringing
in
sheaves,
and
lading
asses
therewith;
as
also
wine,
grapes,
and
figs,
and
all
manner
of
burdens,
which
they
brought
into
Jerusalem
on
the
sabbath
day:
and
I
testified
against
them
in
the
day
wherein
they
sold
victuals.
16 13:16
There
dwelt
men
of
Tyre
also
therein,
who
brought
in
fish,
and
all
manner
of
wares,
and
sold
on
the
sabbath
unto
the
children
of
Judah,
and
in
Jerusalem.
17 13:17
Then
I
contended
with
the
nobles
of
Judah,
and
said
unto
them,
What
evil
thing
is
this
that
ye
do,
and
profane
the
sabbath
day?
18 13:18
Did
not
your
fathers
thus,
and
did
not
our
God
bring
all
this
evil
upon
us,
and
upon
this
city?
yet
ye
bring
more
wrath
upon
Israel
by
profaning
the
sabbath.
19 13:19
And
it
came
to
pass
that,
when
the
gates
of
Jerusalem
began
to
be
dark
before
the
sabbath,
I
commanded
that
the
doors
should
be
shut,
and
commanded
that
they
should
not
be
opened
till
after
the
sabbath:
and
some
of
my
servants
set
I
over
the
gates,
that
there
should
no
burden
be
brought
in
on
the
sabbath
day.
20 13:20
So
the
merchants
and
sellers
of
all
kind
of
wares
lodged
without
Jerusalem
once
or
twice.
21 13:21
Then
I
testified
against
them,
and
said
unto
them,
Why
lodge
ye
about
the
wall?
if
ye
do
so
again,
I
will
lay
hands
on
you.
From
that
time
forth
came
they
no
more
on
the
sabbath.
22 13:22
And
I
commanded
the
Levites
that
they
should
purify
themselves,
and
that
they
should
come
and
keep
the
gates,
to
sanctify
the
sabbath
day.
Remember
unto
me,
O
my
God,
this
also,
and
spare
me
according
to
the
greatness
of
thy
lovingkindness.
23 13:23
In
those
days
also
saw
I
the
Jews
that
had
married
women
of
Ashdod,
of
Ammon,
and
of
Moab:
24 13:24
and
their
children
spake
half
in
the
speech
of
Ashdod,
and
could
not
speak
in
the
Jews’
language,
but
according
to
the
language
of
each
people.
25 13:25
And
I
contended
with
them,
and
cursed
them,
and
smote
certain
of
them,
and
plucked
off
their
hair,
and
made
them
swear
by
God,
saying,
Ye
shall
not
give
your
daughters
unto
their
sons,
nor
take
their
daughters
for
your
sons,
or
for
yourselves.
26 13:26
Did
not
Solomon
king
of
Israel
sin
by
these
things?
yet
among
many
nations
was
there
no
king
like
him,
and
he
was
beloved
of
his
God,
and
God
made
him
king
over
all
Israel:
nevertheless
even
him
did
foreign
women
cause
to
sin.
27 13:27
Shall
we
then
hearken
unto
you
to
do
all
this
great
evil,
to
trespass
against
our
God
in
marrying
foreign
women?
28 13:28
And
one
of
the
sons
of
Joiada,
the
son
of
Eliashib
the
high
priest,
was
son-in-law
to
Sanballat
the
Horonite:
therefore
I
chased
him
from
me.
29 13:29
Remember
them,
O
my
God,
because
they
have
defiled
the
priesthood,
and
the
covenant
of
the
priesthood,
and
of
the
Levites.
30 13:30
Thus
cleansed
I
them
from
all
foreigners,
and
appointed
charges
for
the
priests
and
for
the
Levites,
every
one
in
his
work;
31 13:31
and
for
the wood-offering,
at
times
appointed,
and
for
the first-fruits.
Remember
me,
O
my
God,
for
good.
