Nehemiah 4:1-23

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat
<05571>

heard
<08085> (8804)

that we builded
<01129> (8802)

the wall
<02346>_,

he was wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

and took great
<07235> (8687)

indignation
<03707> (8799)_,

and mocked
<03932> (8686)

the Jews
<03064>_.

And he spake
<0559> (8799)

before
<06440>

his brethren
<0251>

and the army
<02428>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What do
<06213> (8802)

these feeble
<0537>

Jews
<03064>_?

will they fortify
<05800> (8799)

themselves? will they sacrifice
<02076> (8799)_?

will they make an end
<03615> (8762)

in a day
<03117>_?

will they revive
<02421> (8762)

the stones
<068>

out of the heaps
<06194>

of the rubbish
<06083>

which are burned
<08313> (8803)_?

{fortify...: Heb. leave to themselves}

Now Tobiah
<02900>

the Ammonite
<05984>

[was] by him
<0681>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Even that which they build
<01129> (8802)_,

if a fox
<07776>

go up
<05927> (8799)_,

he shall even break down
<06555> (8804)

their stone
<068>

wall
<02346>_.

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

O our God
<0430>_;

for we are despised
<0939>_:

and turn
<07725> (8685)

their reproach
<02781>

upon their own head
<07218>_,

and give
<05414> (8798)

them for a prey
<0961>

in the land
<0776>

of captivity
<07633>_:

{despised: Heb. despite}

And cover
<03680> (8762)

not their iniquity
<05771>_,

and let not their sin
<02403>

be blotted out
<04229> (8735)

from before
<06440>

thee: for they have provoked [thee] to anger
<03707> (8689)

before the builders
<01129> (8802)_.

So built
<01129> (8799)

we the wall
<02346>_;

and all the wall
<02346>

was joined together
<07194> (8735)

unto the half
<02677>

thereof: for the people
<05971>

had a mind
<03820>

to work
<06213> (8800)_.

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> (8804)

that the walls
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

were made up
<0724> <05927> (8804)_,

[and] that the breaches
<06555> (8803)

began
<02490> (8689)

to be stopped
<05640> (8736)_,

then they were very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

{were made up: Heb. ascended}

And conspired
<07194> (8799)

all of them together
<03162>

to come
<0935> (8800)

[and] to fight
<03898> (8736)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and to hinder
<06213> (8800) <08442>

it. {to hinder...: Heb. to make an error to it}

Nevertheless we made our prayer
<06419> (8691)

unto our God
<0430>_,

and set
<05975> (8686)

a watch
<04929>

against them day
<03119>

and night
<03915>_,

because
<06440>

of them.

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The strength
<03581>

of the bearers of burdens
<05449>

is decayed
<03782> (8804)_,

and [there is] much
<07235> (8687)

rubbish
<06083>_;

so that we are not able
<03201> (8799)

to build
<01129> (8800)

the wall
<02346>_.

And our adversaries
<06862>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They shall not know
<03045> (8799)_,

neither see
<07200> (8799)_,

till we come
<0935> (8799)

in the midst
<08432>

among
<08432>

them, and slay
<02026> (8804)

them, and cause the work
<04399>

to cease
<07673> (8689)_.

And it came to pass, that when the Jews
<03064>

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

by them
<0681>

came
<0935> (8804)_,

they said
<0559> (8799)

unto us ten
<06235>

times
<06471>_,

From all places
<04725>

whence ye shall return
<07725> (8799)

unto us [they will be upon you]. {From all...: or, That from all places ye must return to us}

Therefore set
<05975> (8686)

I in the lower
<08482>

places
<04725>

behind
<0310>

the wall
<02346>_,

[and] on the higher places
<06706> (8675) <06708>_,

I even set
<05975> (8686)

the people
<05971>

after their families
<04940>

with their swords
<02719>_,

their spears
<07420>_,

and their bows
<07198>_.

{in the...: Heb. from the lower parts of the place, etc}

And I looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the nobles
<02715>_,

and to the rulers
<05461>_,

and to the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>_,

Be not ye afraid
<03372> (8799)

of them
<06440>_:

remember
<02142> (8798)

the Lord
<0136>_,

[which is] great
<01419>

and terrible
<03372> (8737)_,

and fight
<03898> (8734)

for your brethren
<0251>_,

your sons
<01121>_,

and your daughters
<01323>_,

your wives
<0802>_,

and your houses
<01004>_.

And it came to pass, when our enemies
<0341> (8802)

heard
<08085> (8804)

that it was known
<03045> (8738)

unto us, and God
<0430>

had brought
<06565> (0)

their counsel
<06098>

to nought
<06565> (8686)_,

that we returned
<07725> (8799)

all of us to the wall
<02346>_,

every one
<0376>

unto his work
<04399>_.

And it came to pass from that time
<03117>

forth, [that] the half
<02677>

of my servants
<05288>

wrought
<06213> (8802)

in the work
<04399>_,

and the other half
<02677>

of them held
<02388> (8688)

both the spears
<07420>_,

the shields
<04043>_,

and the bows
<07198>_,

and the habergeons
<08302>_;

and the rulers
<08269>

[were] behind
<0310>

all the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_.

They which builded
<01129> (8802)

on the wall
<02346>_,

and they that bare
<05375> (8802)

burdens
<05447>_,

with those that laded
<06006> (8802)_,

[every one] with one
<0259>

of his hands
<03027>

wrought
<06213> (8802)

in the work
<04399>_,

and with the other
<0259>

[hand] held
<02388> (8688)

a weapon
<07973>_.

For the builders
<01129> (8802)_,

every one
<0376>

had his sword
<02719>

girded
<0631> (8803)

by his side
<04975>_,

and [so] builded
<01129> (8802)_.

And he that sounded
<08628> (8802)

the trumpet
<07782>

[was] by me
<0681>_.

{by his side: Heb. on his loins}

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto the nobles
<02715>_,

and to the rulers
<05461>_,

and to the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>_,

The work
<04399>

[is] great
<07235> (8687)

and large
<07342>_,

and we are separated
<06504> (8737)

upon the wall
<02346>_,

one
<0376>

far from
<07350>

another
<0251>_.

In what place
<04725>

[therefore] ye hear
<08085> (8799)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

resort
<06908> (8735)

ye thither unto us: our God
<0430>

shall fight
<03898> (8735)

for us.

So we laboured
<06213> (8802)

in the work
<04399>_:

and half
<02677>

of them held
<02388> (8688)

the spears
<07420>

from the rising
<05927> (8800)

of the morning
<07837>

till the stars
<03556>

appeared
<03318> (8800)_.

Likewise at the same time
<06256>

said
<0559> (8804)

I unto the people
<05971>_,

Let every one
<0376>

with his servant
<05288>

lodge
<03885> (8799)

within
<08432>

Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that in the night
<03915>

they may be a guard
<04929>

to us, and labour
<04399>

on the day
<03117>_.

So neither I, nor my brethren
<0251>_,

nor my servants
<05288>_,

nor the men
<0582>

of the guard
<04929>

which followed
<0310>

me, none of us
<0587>

put off
<06584> (8802)

our clothes
<0899>_,

[saving that] every one
<0376>

put them off
<07973>

for washing
<04325>_.

{saving...: or, every one went with his weapon for water}
