That Hanani [02607], one [0259] of my brethren [0251], came [0935], he and certain men [0582] of Judah [03063]; and I asked [07592] them concerning the Jews [03064] that had escaped [06413], which were left [07604] of the captivity [07628], and concerning Jerusalem [03389].
And they said [0559] unto me, The remnant [07604] that are left [07604] of the captivity [07628] there in the province [04082] are in great [01419] affliction [07451] and reproach [02781]: the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] also is broken down [06555], and the gates [08179] thereof are burned [03341] with fire [0784].
So I came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and was there three [07969] days [03117].
And I arose [06965] in the night [03915], I and some [04592] few [04592] men [0582] with me; neither told [05046] I any man [0120] what my God [0430] had put [05414] in my heart [03820] to do [06213] at Jerusalem [03389]: neither was there any beast [0929] with me, save the beast [0929] that I rode upon [07392].
And I went out [03318] by night [03915] by the gate [08179] of the valley [01516], even before [06440] the dragon [08577] well [05886] [05869], and to the dung [0830] port [08179], and viewed [07665] [07663] the walls [02346] of Jerusalem [03389], which were broken down [06555], and the gates [08179] thereof were consumed [0398] with fire [0784].
Then said [0559] I unto them, Ye see [07200] the distress [07451] that we are in, how Jerusalem [03389] lieth waste [02720], and the gates [08179] thereof are burned [03341] with fire [0784]: come [03212], and let us build up [01129] the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389], that we be no more a reproach [02781].
Then answered [01697] [07725] I them, and said [0559] unto them, The God [0430] of heaven [08064], he will prosper [06743] us; therefore we his servants [05650] will arise [06965] and build [01129]: but ye have no portion [02506], nor right [06666], nor memorial [02146], in Jerusalem [03389].
Next unto him [03027] repaired [02388] Uzziel [05816] the son [01121] of Harhaiah [02736], of the goldsmiths [06884]. Next unto him [03027] also repaired [02388] Hananiah [02608] the son [01121] of one of the apothecaries [07546], and they fortified [05800] Jerusalem [03389] unto the broad [07342] wall [02346].fortified…: or, left Jerusalem unto the broad wall
And next unto them [03027] repaired [02388] Rephaiah [07509] the son [01121] of Hur [02354], the ruler [08269] of the half [02677] part [06418] of Jerusalem [03389].
And next unto him [03027] repaired [02388] Shallum [07967] the son [01121] of Halohesh [03873], the ruler [08269] of the half [02677] part [06418] of Jerusalem [03389], he and his daughters [01323].
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat [05571], and Tobiah [02900], and the Arabians [06163], and the Ammonites [05984], and the Ashdodites [0796], heard [08085] that the walls [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] were made up [05927] [0724], and that the breaches [06555] began [02490] to be stopped [05640], then they were very [03966] wroth [02734],were made up: Heb. ascended
And conspired [07194] all of them together [03162] to come [0935] and to fight [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and to hinder [08442] [06213] it.to hinder…: Heb. to make an error to it
Likewise at the same time [06256] said [0559] I unto the people [05971], Let every one [0376] with his servant [05288] lodge [03885] within [08432] Jerusalem [03389], that in the night [03915] they may be a guard [04929] to us, and labour [04399] on the day [03117].
And thou hast also appointed [05975] prophets [05030] to preach [07121] of thee at Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], There is a king [04428] in Judah [03063]: and now shall it be reported [08085] to the king [04428] according to these words [01697]. Come [03212] now therefore, and let us take counsel [03289] together [03162].
That I gave my brother [0251] Hanani [02607], and Hananiah [02608] the ruler [08269] of the palace [01002], charge [06680] over Jerusalem [03389]: for he was a faithful [0571] man [0376], and feared [03372] God [0430] above many [07227].
And I said [0559] unto them, Let not the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389] be opened [06605] until the sun [08121] be hot [02527]; and while they stand by [05975], let them shut [01479] the doors [01817], and bar [0270] them: and appoint [05975] watches [04931] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], every one [0376] in his watch [04929], and every one [0376] to be over against his house [01004].
These are the children [01121] of the province [04082], that went up [05927] out of the captivity [07628], of those that had been carried away [01473], whom Nebuchadnezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had carried away [01540], and came again [07725] to Jerusalem [03389] and to Judah [03063], every one [0376] unto his city [05892];
And that they should publish [08085] and proclaim [06963] [05674] in all their cities [05892], and in Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Go forth [03318] unto the mount [02022], and fetch [0935] olive [02132] branches [05929], and pine [08081] branches [05929] [06086], and myrtle [01918] branches [05929], and palm [08558] branches [05929], and branches [05929] of thick [05687] trees [06086], to make [06213] booths [05521], as it is written [03789].
And the rulers [08269] of the people [05971] dwelt [03427] at Jerusalem [03389]: the rest [07605] of the people [05971] also cast [05307] lots [01486], to bring [0935] one [0259] of ten [06235] to dwell [03427] in Jerusalem [03389] the holy [06944] city [05892], and nine [08672] parts [03027] to dwell in other cities [05892].
And the people [05971] blessed [01288] all the men [0582], that willingly offered [05068] themselves to dwell [03427] at Jerusalem [03389].
Now these are the chief [07218] of the province [04082] that dwelt [03427] in Jerusalem [03389]: but in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] dwelt [03427] every one [0376] in his possession [0272] in their cities [05892], to wit, Israel [03478], the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], and the Nethinims [05411], and the children [01121] of Solomon's [08010] servants [05650].
And at Jerusalem [03389] dwelt [03427] certain of the children [01121] of Judah [03063], and of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144]. Of the children [01121] of Judah [03063]; Athaiah [06265] the son [01121] of Uzziah [05818], the son [01121] of Zechariah [02148], the son [01121] of Amariah [0568], the son [01121] of Shephatiah [08203], the son [01121] of Mahalaleel [04111], of the children [01121] of Perez [06557];Perez: also called, Pharez
All the sons [01121] of Perez [06557] that dwelt [03427] at Jerusalem [03389] were four [0702] hundred [03967] threescore [08346] and eight [08083] valiant [02428] men [0582].
The overseer [06496] also of the Levites [03881] at Jerusalem [03389] was Uzzi [05813] the son [01121] of Bani [01137], the son [01121] of Hashabiah [02811], the son [01121] of Mattaniah [04983], the son [01121] of Micha [04316]. Of the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623], the singers [07891] were over [05048] the business [04399] of the house [01004] of God [0430].
And at the dedication [02598] of the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] they sought [01245] the Levites [03881] out of all their places [04725], to bring [0935] them to Jerusalem [03389], to keep [06213] the dedication [02598] with gladness [08057], both with thanksgivings [08426], and with singing [07892], with cymbals [04700], psalteries [05035], and with harps [03658].
And the sons [01121] of the singers [07891] gathered themselves together [0622], both out of the plain country [03603] round about [05439] Jerusalem [03389], and from the villages [02691] of Netophathi [05200];
Also from the house [01004] of Gilgal [01019] [01537], and out of the fields [07704] of Geba [01387] and Azmaveth [05820]: for the singers [07891] had builded [01129] them villages [02691] round about [05439] Jerusalem [03389].
Also that day [03117] they offered [02076] great [01419] sacrifices [02077], and rejoiced [08055]: for God [0430] had made them rejoice [08055] with great [01419] joy [08057]: the wives [0802] also and the children [03206] rejoiced [08055]: so that the joy [08057] of Jerusalem [03389] was heard [08085] even afar off [07350].
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] I unto the king [04428], and after [07093] certain days [03117] obtained I leave [07592] of the king [04428]:after…: Heb. at the end of daysobtained…: or, I earnestly requested
And I came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and understood [0995] of the evil [07451] that Eliashib [0475] did [06213] for Tobiah [02900], in preparing [06213] him a chamber [05393] in the courts [02691] of the house [01004] of God [0430].
In those days [03117] saw [07200] I in Judah [03063] some treading [01869] wine presses [01660] on the sabbath [07676], and bringing in [0935] sheaves [06194], and lading [06006] asses [02543]; as also wine [03196], grapes [06025], and figs [08384], and all manner of burdens [04853], which they brought [0935] into Jerusalem [03389] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117]: and I testified [05749] against them in the day [03117] wherein they sold [04376] victuals [06718].
There dwelt [03427] men of Tyre [06876] also therein, which brought [0935] fish [01709] [01709], and all manner of ware [04377], and sold [04376] on the sabbath [07676] unto the children [01121] of Judah [03063], and in Jerusalem [03389].
And it came to pass, that when the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389] began to be dark [06751] before [06440] the sabbath [07676], I commanded [0559] that the gates [01817] should be shut [05462], and charged [0559] that they should not be opened [06605] till after [0310] the sabbath [07676]: and some of my servants [05288] set [05975] I at the gates [08179], that there should no burden [04853] be brought in [0935] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117].
So the merchants [07402] and sellers [04376] of all kind of ware [04465] lodged [03885] without [02351] Jerusalem [03389] once [06471] or twice [08147].
