H3117
On that day
H7121
they read
H5612
in the book
H4872
of Moses
H241
in the audience
H5971
of the people;
H4672
and therein was found
H3789
written,
H5984
that an Ammonite
H4125
and a Moabite
H935
should not enter
H6951
into the assembly
H430
of God
H5704
H5769
forever,
2
H6923
because they didn't meet
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel
H3899
with bread
H4325
and with water,
H7936
but hired
H1109
Balaam
H7043
against them, to curse
H430
them: however our God
H2015
turned
H7043
the curse
H1293
into a blessing.
3
H8085
It came to pass, when they had heard
H8451
the law,
H914
that they separated
H3478
from Israel
H6154
all the mixed multitude.
4
H6440
Now before
H475
this, Eliashib
H3548
the priest,
H5414
who was appointed
H3957
over the rooms
H1004
of the house
H430
of our God,
H7138
being allied
H2900
to Tobiah,
5
H6213
had prepared
H1419
for him a great
H3957
room,
H6440
where before
H5414
they laid
H4503
the meal offerings,
H3828
the frankincense,
H3627
and the vessels,
H4643
and the tithes
H1715
of the grain,
H8492
the new wine,
H3323
and the oil,
H4687
which were given by commandment
H3881
to the Levites,
H7891
and the singers,
H7778
and the porters;
H8641
and the wave offerings
H3548
for the priests.
6
H3389
But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem;
H8147
for in the two
H7970
and thirtieth
H8141
year
H783
of Artaxerxes
H4428
king
H894
of Babylon
H935
I went
H4428
to the king:
H7093
and after
H3117
certain days
H7592
asked I leave
H4428
of the king,
7
H935
and I came
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H995
and understood
H7451
the evil
H475
that Eliashib
H6213
had done
H2900
for Tobiah,
H6213
in preparing
H5393
him a room
H2691
in the courts
H1004
of the house
H430
of God.
8
H3415
It grieved
H3966
me severely:
H7993
therefore I cast forth
H1004
all the household
H3627
stuff
H2900
of Tobiah
H2351
out of
H3957
the room.
9
H559
Then I commanded,
H2891
and they cleansed
H3957
the rooms:
H7725
and there brought I again
H3627
the vessels
H1004
of the house
H430
of God,
H4503
with the meal offerings
H3828
and the frankincense.
10
H3045
I perceived
H4521
that the portions
H3881
of the Levites
H5414
had not been given
H3881
them; so that the Levites
H7891
and the singers,
H6213
who did
H4399
the work,
H1272
had fled
H376
everyone
H7704
to his field.
11
H7378
Then I contended
H5461
with the rulers,
H559
and said,
H1004
"Why is the house
H430
of God
H5800
forsaken?"
H6908
I gathered them together,
H5975
and set
H5977
them in their place.
12
H935
Then brought
H3063
all Judah
H4643
the tithe
H1715
of the grain
H8492
and the new wine
H3323
and the oil
H214
to the treasuries.
13
H686
I made treasurers
H214
over the treasuries,
H8018
Shelemiah
H3548
the priest,
H6659
and Zadok
H5608
the scribe,
H3881
and of the Levites,
H6305
Pedaiah:
H3027
and next to them
H2605
was Hanan
H1121
the son
H2139
of Zaccur,
H1121
the son
H4983
of Mattaniah;
H2803
for they were counted
H539
faithful,
H2505
and their business was to distribute
H251
to their brothers.
14
H2142
Remember
H430
me, my God,
H4229
concerning this, and don't wipe out
H2617
my good
H6213
deeds that I have done
H1004
for the house
H430
of my God,
H4929
and for its observances.
15
H3117
In those days
H7200
saw
H3063
I in Judah
H1869
some men treading
H1660
winepresses
H7676
on the Sabbath,
H935
and bringing in
H6194
sheaves,
H6006
and loading
H2543
donkeys;
H3196
as also wine,
H6025
grapes,
H8384
and figs,
H4853
and all kinds of burdens,
H935
which they brought
H3389
into Jerusalem
H7676
on the Sabbath
H3117
day:
H5749
and I testified
H3117
against them in the day
H4376
in which they sold
H6718
food.
16
H3427
There lived
H6876
men of Tyre
H935
also therein, who brought
H1709
in fish,
H4377
and all kinds of wares,
H4376
and sold
H7676
on the Sabbath
H1121
to the children
H3063
of Judah,
H3389
and in Jerusalem.
17
H7378
Then I contended
H2715
with the nobles
H3063
of Judah,
H559
and said
H7451
to them, "What evil
H1697
thing
H6213
is this that you do,
H2490
and profane
H7676
the Sabbath
H3117
day?
18
H6213
Didn't
H1
your fathers
H6213
do thus, and didn't
H430
our God
H935
bring
H7451
all this evil
H5892
on us, and on this city?
H935
Yet you bring
H3254
more
H2740
wrath
H3478
on Israel
H2490
by profaning
H7676
the Sabbath."
19
H8179
It came to pass that, when the gates
H3389
of Jerusalem
H6751
began to be dark
H6440
before
H7676
the Sabbath,
H559
I commanded
H1817
that the doors
H5462
should be shut,
H559
and commanded
H6605
that they should not be opened
H310
until after
H7676
the Sabbath.
H5975
I set
H5288
some of my servants
H8179
over the gates,
H4853
that no burden
H935
should be brought in
H7676
on the Sabbath
H3117
day.
20
H7402
So the merchants
H4376
and sellers
H4465
of all kinds of wares
H3885
lodged
H2351
outside
H3389
of Jerusalem
H6471
once
H8147
or twice.
21
H5749
Then I testified
H559
against them, and said
H3885
to them, "Why do you stay
H5048
around
H2346
the wall?
H8138
If you do so again,
H7971
I will lay
H3027
hands
H6256
on you." From that time
H935
on, they didn't come
H7676
on the Sabbath.
22
H559
I commanded
H3881
the Levites
H2891
that they should purify
H935
themselves, and that they should come
H8104
and keep
H8179
the gates,
H6942
to sanctify
H7676
the Sabbath
H3117
day.
H2142
Remember
H430
to me, my God,
H2347
this also, and spare
H7230
me according to the greatness
H2617
of your loving kindness.
23
H3117
In those days
H7200
also saw
H3064
I the Jews
H3427
who had married
H802
women
H796
of Ashdod,
H5984
of Ammon,
H4125
and of Moab:
24
H1121
and their children
H1696
spoke
H2677
half
H797
in the speech of Ashdod,
H5234
and could
H1696
not speak
H3066
in the Jews' language,
H3956
but according to the language
H5971
of each
H5971
people.
25
H7378
I contended
H7043
with them, and cursed
H5221
them, and struck
H582
certain
H4803
of them, and plucked off their hair,
H7650
and made them swear
H430
by God,
H5414
"You shall not give
H1323
your daughters
H1121
to their sons,
H5375
nor take
H1323
their daughters
H1121
for your sons, or for yourselves.
26
H8010
Didn't Solomon
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H2398
sin
H7227
by these things? Yet among many
H1471
nations
H4428
was there no king
H157
like him, and he was beloved
H430
of his God,
H430
and God
H5414
made
H4428
him king
H3478
over all Israel.
H5237
Nevertheless foreign
H802
women
H1571
caused even him
H2398
to sin.
27
H8085
Shall we then listen
H6213
to you to do
H1419
all this great
H7451
evil,
H4603
to trespass
H430
against our God
H3427
in marrying
H5237
foreign
H802
women?"
28
H1121
One of the sons
H3111
of Joiada,
H1121
the son
H475
of Eliashib
H1419
the high
H3548
priest,
H2860
was son-in-law
H5571
to Sanballat
H2772
the Horonite:
H1272
therefore I chased him from me.
29
H2142
Remember
H430
them, my God,
H1352
because they have defiled
H3550
the priesthood,
H1285
and the covenant
H3550
of the priesthood,
H3881
and of the Levites.
