Nehemiah 9:1-38

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)_.
9:20
Thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
also thy good
<02896>
spirit
<07307>
to instruct
<07919> (8687)
them, and withheldest
<04513> (8804)
not thy manna
<04478>
from their mouth
<06310>_,
and gavest
<05414> (8804)
them water
<04325>
for their thirst
<06772>_.
9:21
Yea, forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
didst thou sustain
<03557> (8773)
them in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[so that] they lacked
<02637> (8804)
nothing; their clothes
<08008>
waxed not old
<01086> (8804)_,
and their feet
<07272>
swelled
<01216> (8804)
not.
9:22
Moreover thou gavest
<05414> (8799)
them kingdoms
<04467>
and nations
<05971>_,
and didst divide
<02505> (8799)
them into corners
<06285>_:
so they possessed
<03423> (8799)
the land
<0776>
of Sihon
<05511>_,
and the land
<0776>
of the king
<04428>
of Heshbon
<02809>_,
and the land
<0776>
of Og
<05747>
king
<04428>
of Bashan
<01316>_.
9:23
Their children
<01121>
also multipliedst
<07235> (8689)
thou as the stars
<03556>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and broughtest
<0935> (8686)
them into the land
<0776>_,
concerning which thou hadst promised
<0559> (8804)
to their fathers
<01>_,
that they should go in
<0935> (8800)
to possess
<03423> (8800)
[it].
9:24
So the children
<01121>
went in
<0935> (8799)
and possessed
<03423> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and thou subduedst
<03665> (8686)
before
<06440>
them the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_,
the Canaanites
<03669>_,
and gavest
<05414> (8799)
them into their hands
<03027>_,
with their kings
<04428>_,
and the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
that they might do
<06213> (8800)
with them as they would
<07522>_.
{as they...: Heb. according to their will}
9:25
And they took
<03920> (8799)
strong
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>_,
and a fat
<08082>
land
<0127>_,
and possessed
<03423> (8799)
houses
<01004>
full
<04392>
of all goods
<02898>_,
wells
<0953>
digged
<02672> (8803)_,
vineyards
<03754>_,
and oliveyards
<02132>_,
and fruit
<03978>
trees
<06086>
in abundance
<07230>_:
so they did eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and were filled
<07646> (8799)_,
and became fat
<08080> (8686)_,
and delighted
<05727> (8691)
themselves in thy great
<01419>
goodness
<02898>_.
{wells: or, cisterns} {fruit...: Heb. tree of food}
9:26
Nevertheless they were disobedient
<04784> (8686)_,
and rebelled
<04775> (8799)
against thee, and cast
<07993> (8686)
thy law
<08451>
behind
<0310>
their backs
<01458>_,
and slew
<02026> (8804)
thy prophets
<05030>
which testified
<05749> (8689)
against them to turn
<07725> (8687)
them to thee, and they wrought
<06213> (8799)
great
<01419>
provocations
<05007>_.
9:27
Therefore thou deliveredst
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<06862>_,
who vexed
<06887> (8686)
them: and in the time
<06256>
of their trouble
<06869>_,
when they cried
<06817> (8799)
unto thee, thou heardest
<08085> (8799)
[them] from heaven
<08064>_;
and according to thy manifold
<07227>
mercies
<07356>
thou gavest
<05414> (8799)
them saviours
<03467> (8688)_,
who saved
<03467> (8686)
them out of the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<06862>_.
9:28
But after they had rest
<05117> (8800)_,
they did
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>
again
<07725> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee: therefore leftest
<05800> (8799)
thou them in the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
so that they had the dominion
<07287> (8799)
over them: yet when they returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and cried
<02199> (8799)
unto thee, thou heardest
<08085> (8799)
[them] from heaven
<08064>_;
and many
<07227>
times
<06256>
didst thou deliver
<05337> (8686)
them according to thy mercies
<07356>_;
{they did...: Heb. they returned to do evil}
9:29
And testifiedst
<05749> (8686)
against them, that thou mightest bring them again
<07725> (8687)
unto thy law
<08451>_:
yet they dealt proudly
<02102> (8689)_,
and hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto thy commandments
<04687>_,
but sinned
<02398> (8804)
against thy judgments
<04941>_,
(which if a man
<0120>
do
<06213> (8799)_,
he shall live
<02421> (8804)
in them;) and withdrew
<05414> (8799) <05637> (8802)
the shoulder
<03802>_,
and hardened
<07185> (8689)
their neck
<06203>_,
and would not hear
<08085> (8804)_.
{withdrew...: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
9:30
Yet many
<07227>
years
<08141>
didst thou forbear
<04900> (8799)
them, and testifiedst
<05749> (8686)
against them by thy spirit
<07307>
in
<03027>
thy prophets
<05030>_:
yet would they not give ear
<0238> (8689)_:
therefore gavest
<05414> (8799)
thou them into the hand
<03027>
of the people
<05971>
of the lands
<0776>_.
{forbear...: Heb. protract over them} {in thy...: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
9:31
Nevertheless for thy great
<07227>
mercies
<07356>_'
sake thou didst
<06213> (8804)
not utterly consume
<03617>
them, nor forsake
<05800> (8804)
them; for thou [art] a gracious
<02587>
and merciful
<07349>
God
<0410>_.
9:32
Now therefore, our God
<0430>_,
the great
<01419>_,
the mighty
<01368>_,
and the terrible
<03372> (8737)
God
<0410>_,
who keepest
<08104> (8802)
covenant
<01285>
and mercy
<02617>_,
let not all the trouble
<08513>
seem little
<04591> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee, that hath come
<04672> (8804)
upon us, on our kings
<04428>_,
on our princes
<08269>_,
and on our priests
<03548>_,
and on our prophets
<05030>_,
and on our fathers
<01>_,
and on all thy people
<05971>_,
since the time
<03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
unto this day
<03117>_.
{trouble: Heb. weariness} {that...: Heb. that hath found us}
9:33
Howbeit thou [art] just
<06662>
in all that is brought
<0935> (8802)
upon us; for thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
right
<0571>_,
but we have done wickedly
<07561> (8689)_:
9:34
Neither have our kings
<04428>_,
our princes
<08269>_,
our priests
<03548>_,
nor our fathers
<01>_,
kept
<06213> (8804)
thy law
<08451>_,
nor hearkened
<07181> (8689)
unto thy commandments
<04687>
and thy testimonies
<05715>_,
wherewith thou didst testify
<05749> (8689)
against them.
9:35
For they have not served
<05647> (8804)
thee in their kingdom
<04438>_,
and in thy great
<07227>
goodness
<02898>
that thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
them, and in the large
<07342>
and fat
<08082>
land
<0776>
which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
them, neither turned
<07725> (8804)
they from their wicked
<07451>
works
<04611>_.
9:36
Behold, we [are] servants
<05650>
this day
<03117>_,
and [for] the land
<0776>
that thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
unto our fathers
<01>
to eat
<0398> (8800)
the fruit
<06529>
thereof and the good
<02898>
thereof, behold, we [are] servants
<05650>
in it:
9:37
And it yieldeth much
<07235> (8688)
