^{4 (2:3)} Behold, I am building a house to the name of the Lord my God, to sanctify it to him, to burn before him incense of spices, and for the continual rows of show-bread, and for the burnt-offerings at morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new-moons, and on the stated festivals of the Lord our God: this being for ever obligatory on Israel.

¹⁶ And now, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for thy servant David my father that which thou hast spoken concerning him, saying, There shall never fail thee a man in my sight who sitteth on the throne of Israel, if thy children but take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

¹³ So that whosoever would not seek the Lord the God of Israel should be put to death, from the small even up to the great, whether it be man or woman. ¹⁴ And they swore unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with joyful shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

⁵ And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and ye shall make haste in this matter. But the Levites made no haste. ⁶ Then called the king for Yehoyada’ the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required from the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the contribution fixed by Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of the testimony? ⁷ For the sons of the wicked ‘Athalyahu have made breaches in the house of God; and also the holy things of the house of the Lord have they applied to the Be’alim. ⁸ And at the king’s order they made a chest, and placed it at the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside. ⁹ And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the contribution fixed by Moses the servant of God upon Israel in the wilderness. ¹⁰ And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and they brought it in, and cast it into the chest, until it was full. ¹¹ Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, then came the king’s scribe and the high-priest’s officer and emptied the chest, and took it up, and brought it back to its place. Thus did they day by day, and gathered money in abundance. ¹² And the king and Yehoyada’ gave it to those who overlooked the service of the house of the Lord, and these hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of the Lord, and also to the workers in iron and copper to repair the house of the Lord. ¹³ So the workmen wrought, and the work was restored through their means, and they replaced the house of God in its former state, and strengthened it. ¹⁴ And when they had completed it, they brought before the king and Yehoyada’ the rest of the money, and they made of it vessels for the house of the Lord, the vessels of the service and for the sacrificing, and the spoons, and other vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Yehoyada’.

³ The king also gave a portion from his own property for the burnt-offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new-moons, and for the appointed feasts, as it is written in the law of the Lord. ⁴ Moreover he said to the people, to those who dwelt in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, in order that they might hold firmly to the law of the Lord. ⁵ And when the matter was spread abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the first-fruits of corn, of the new wine, and of oil, and of honey, and of all the products of the field: and the tithe of all things did they bring likewise in abundance. ⁶ And as for the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were hallowed unto the Lord their God, and gave them by heaps.

⁶ And as for the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were hallowed unto the Lord their God, and gave them by heaps. ⁷ In the third month did they begin to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month did they finish them. ⁸ And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel. ⁹ Then made Hezekiah inquiry of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. ¹⁰ Then spoke to him ‘Azaryahu the chief priest of the house of Zadok, and said, Since it was begun to bring the heave-offerings into the house of the Lord, there hath been enough to eat, and to leave in great abundance; for the Lord hath blessed his people: and that which is left is this great mass. ¹¹ Then ordered Hezekiah to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord: and they prepared them. ¹² And they brought in the heave-offerings, and the tithes, and the sanctified things, in faithfulness: and over them were appointed the ruler Conanyahu the Levite, and Shim’i his brother the second in rank.

¹² And they brought in the heave-offerings, and the tithes, and the sanctified things, in faithfulness: and over them were appointed the ruler Conanyahu the Levite, and Shim’i his brother the second in rank.

³¹ And the king stood up on his stand, and he made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book.

²¹ To fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had satisfied its sabbaths: all the days of its desolation it rested, till seventy years were completed.

¹ Now when these things were accomplished, the princes approached me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the nations of the lands, notwithstanding their abominations, from the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the ‘Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Emorites;

¹ Now when these things were accomplished, the princes approached me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the nations of the lands, notwithstanding their abominations, from the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the ‘Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Emorites; ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons; and the holy seed have mingled themselves with the nations of these lands; and the hand of the princes and rulers hath been the first in this trespass.

² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons; and the holy seed have mingled themselves with the nations of these lands; and the hand of the princes and rulers hath been the first in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and I plucked out some of the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astounded.

¹² And now your daughters shall ye not give unto their sons, and their daughters shall ye not take for your sons, and ye shall not seek their peace and their welfare unto eternity: in order that ye may be strong, and eat the best of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children unto eternity. ¹³ And after all that is come over us for our evil deeds, and for our great guiltiness, seeing that thou our God hast spared us punishing us less than our iniquities deserved, and hast given us such deliverance as this: ¹⁴ Should we again make void thy commandments, and make marriage with these people of abominations? wouldst thou not be angry with us even to make an end of us, so that there would not be any remnant or escape?

¹⁰ And ‘Ezra the priest rose up, and said unto them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have brought home strange wives, to increase yet more the guiltiness of Israel. ¹¹ Now therefore make confession unto the Lord the God of your fathers, and do his will; and separate yourselves from the nations of the earth, and from the strange wives.

¹¹ Now therefore make confession unto the Lord the God of your fathers, and do his will; and separate yourselves from the nations of the earth, and from the strange wives. ¹² Then answered all the assembly and said with a loud voice, So be it: according to thy word it is our duty to do.

¹² Then answered all the assembly and said with a loud voice, So be it: according to thy word it is our duty to do. ¹³ But the people are many, and it is the rainy season, and we have not the strength to remain in the street, nor is this a work for one day or for two days; for we are many that have transgressed in this matter. ¹⁴ Let however our princes stand forward for all the congregation, and let all those in our cities who have brought home strange wives come at appointed times, and with them the elders of each and every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned away from us for this whole matter. ¹⁵ Only Jonathan the son of ‘Assahel and Jachzeyah the son of Thikvah withstood this proposal: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite assisted them. ¹⁶ And the children of the exile did so. And then were set apart ‘Ezra the priest, and certain chiefs of the divisions, for their family divisions, and all of them designated by their names; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. ¹⁷ And they made an end with all, with the men that had brought home strange wives, not before the first day of the first month. ¹⁸ And there were found among the sons of the priests that had brought home strange wives, namely, of the sons of Jeshua’ the son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Ma’asseyah, and Eli’ezer, and Jarib, and Gedalyah. ¹⁹ And they gave their hand to put away their wives, and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.

¹ And there arose a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. ² And there were some that said, Our sons, and our daughters, and ourselves are many; and we must buy corn, that we may eat, and live. ³ And others there were that said, We must pledge our fields, our vineyards, and our houses, that we may buy corn, in the famine. ⁴ And others there were that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards. ⁵ Yet now our flesh is like the flesh of our brethren, our children are like their children: and, lo, we must force our sons and our daughters to become servants, and some of our daughters are forced to become so, and our hand is powerless; and our fields and our vineyards belong to others. ⁶ And it displeased me greatly when I heard their complaint and these words. ⁷ Then did I consult with my heart, and I upbraided the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, “Ye exact usury, every one of his brother!” And I brought together a great assembly against them. ⁸ And I said unto them, We have indeed ransomed our brethren the Jews, who had been sold unto the various nations, as far as our means went: and will ye yourselves even sell your brethren, so that they will be sold again unto us? And they remained silent, and found no answer. ⁹ Then said I, The thing is not good which ye are doing: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the taunting of the nations, our enemies? ¹⁰ And also I, my brothers, and my young men, have lent them money and corn: I pray you, let us relinquish this loan. ¹¹ Give back to them, I pray you, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye have lent them. ¹² Then said they, We will give all back, and of them will we require nothing: so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and made them swear, that they would do in accordance with this promise. ¹³ Also my lap did I shake out, and said, So may God shake out every man that performeth not this promise, from his house and of his toil-gotten wealth, and so let him remain shaken out, and empty. And all the assembly said, Amen, and they praised the Lord. And the people did according to this promise.

² Then did ‘Ezra the priest bring forward the law before the congregation both of men and women, and every one that had understanding to listen attentively, on the first day of the seventh month;

⁴ And ‘Ezra the expounder stood upon an elevated stand of wood, which they had made for the purpose: and beside him stood Matthithyah, and Shema’, and ‘Anayah, and Uriyah, and Chilkiyah, and Ma’asseyah, on his right hand; and on his left, Pedayah, and Mishael, and Malkiyah, and Chashum, and Chashbadanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.

⁷ Also Jeshua’, and Bani, and Sherebyah, Jamin, ‘Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiyah, Ma’asseyah, Kelita, ‘Azaryah, Jozabad, Chanan, Pelayah, and the Levites, explained to the people the law: while the people remained where they stood.

⁹ Then said Nehemiah, that is the Thirshatha, and ‘Ezra the priest the expounder, and the Levites that explained to the people, unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God: mourn not, and weep not. For all the people were weeping, when they heard the words of the law.

² And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all children of the strangers: and they stood forward and made confession for their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

⁴ Then stood up upon the stairs of the Levites, Jeshua’ and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebanyah, Bunni, Sherebyah, Bani, and Kenani, and they cried with a loud voice unto the Lord their God.

⁴ Then stood up upon the stairs of the Levites, Jeshua’ and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebanyah, Bunni, Sherebyah, Bani, and Kenani, and they cried with a loud voice unto the Lord their God. ⁵ Then said the Levites, Jeshua’, and Kadmiel, Bani, Chashabneyah, Sherebyah, Hodiyah, Shebanyah, and Pethachyah, Arise! bless ye the Lord your God from eternity to eternity. And let men bless thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

^{38 (10:1)} And because of all this, we make a faithful covenant, and write it down; and on the sealed document are our princes, our Levites, and our priests.

¹ And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: and the rest of the people cast lots, to bring one of every ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and the nine parts to remain in the other cities.

¹¹ Serayah the son of Chilkiyah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Merayoth, the son of Achitub, the superintendent of the house of God; ¹² And their brethren who did the work of the house, eight hundred twenty and two; and ‘Adayah the son of Jerocham, the son of Pelalyah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashchur, the son of Malkiyah;

¹⁵ Also of the Levites: Shema’yah the son of Chasshub, the son of ‘Azrikam, the son of Chashabyah, the son of Bunni;

²² And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was ‘Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Chashabyah, the son of Matthanyah, the son of Micha, one of the sons of Assaph, the singers, over the business of the house of God.

¹ And these are the priests and the Levites that came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Jeshua’: Serayah, Jeremiah, ‘Ezra, ² Amaryah, Malluch, Chattush, ³ Shechanyah, Rechum, Meremoth, ⁴ ‘Iddo, Ginnethoy, Abiyah,

⁴ ‘Iddo, Ginnethoy, Abiyah, ⁵ Miyamin, Ma’adyah, Bilgah,

⁵ Miyamin, Ma’adyah, Bilgah, ⁶ Shema’yah, and Joyarib, Jed’ayah,

⁸ And the Levites: Jeshua’, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebyah, Judah, and Matthaniah, who was over the songs of thanksgiving, he and his brethren;

¹³ Of ‘Ezra, Meshullam; of Amaryah, Jehochanan; ¹⁴ Of Mellchu, Jonathan; of Shebanyah, Joseph;

¹⁷ Of Abiyah, Zichri; of Minyamin, of Mo’adyah, Piltai; ¹⁸ Of Bilgah, Shammua’; of Shem’ayah, Jehonathan;

²⁴ And the chiefs of the Levites were: Chashabyah, Sherebyah, and Jeshua’ the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite to them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the command of David the man of God, section by section. ²⁵ Matthanyah, and Bakbukyah, ‘Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, ‘Akkub, were watching gatekeepers on the watch at the thresholds of the gates. ²⁶ These were in the days of Joyakim, the son of Jeshua’, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of ‘Ezra the priest, the expounder. 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 celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanksgivings, and with singing, cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. ²⁸ And there gathered themselves together the sons of the singers, both out of the district round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophah; ²⁹ Also from Beth-hagilgal, and out of the fields of Geba’ and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves villages round about Jerusalem. ³⁰ And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. ³¹ Then brought I up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and stationed two great companies for thanksgiving, and trains to walk on the right hand upon the wall by the dung-gate; ³² And after them walked Hosha’yah, and half of the princes of Judah, ³³ And ‘Azaryah, ‘Ezra, and Meshullam,

³³ And ‘Azaryah, ‘Ezra, and Meshullam, ³⁴ Judah, and Benjamin, and Shema’yah, and Jeremiah;

⁴¹ And the priests, Elyakim, Ma’asseyah, Minyamin, Michayah, Elyo’enai, Zechariah, and Chananiah, with trumpets; ⁴² And Ma’asseyah, and Shema’yah, and El’azar, and ‘Uzzi, and Jehochanan, and Malkiyah, and ‘Elam, and ‘Ezer. And the singers sang aloud, with Yisrachyah as their overseer.

³ And it tame to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the alien mixture from Israel.

⁵ Had prepared for him a large chamber, where they had laid in former times the meat-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was ordained for the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the heave-offering of the priests.

⁹ And I gave the order, whereupon they cleansed the chambers; and I had brought thither again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat-offering and the frankincense. ¹⁰ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: so that the Levites and the singers, that used to do the work, were fled every one to his field. ¹¹ Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why hath the house of God become forsaken? And I gathered them together, and placed them on their posts. ¹² And all Judah brought the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.

¹² And all Judah brought the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. ¹³ And I appointed receivers over the treasuries, Shelemyah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and Pedayah of the Levites; and with them acted Chanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Matthanyah; for they were accounted as faithful, and it was their duty to make a distribution among their brethren.

¹⁵ In those days I saw in Judah some treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading burdens on asses, as also wine, grapes and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I warned them on the day whereon they sold provisions. ¹⁶ Also the men of Tyre that dwelt therein brought fish and all kinds of wares, and sold them on the sabbath unto the children of Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁷ Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this which ye are doing, and profaning thereby the sabbath day? ¹⁸ Did not your fathers act thus, wherefore our God brought over us all this evil, and over this city? and ye bring yet more wrath over Israel by profaning the sabbath. ¹⁹ And it came to pass, that, when the shadows were lengthened in the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I gave the order, whereupon the gates were locked, and I ordered that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my young men did I place at the gates, that there should be brought in no burden on the sabbath-day. ²⁰ But the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside of Jerusalem once or twice. ²¹ Thereupon did I warn them, and said unto them, Why do ye lodge along the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more on the sabbath. ²² And I ordered the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep watch at the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day. Also this remember unto me, O my God, and shield me according to the abundance of thy kindness.

²⁵ And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked out 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, nor for yourselves.

³¹ And for the procuring of the wood, at fixed time, and for the first-fruits. Remember this unto me, O my God, for good.

¹ To the chief musician upon Gittith, a psalm of David. ^(8:2) O Eternal One our Lord, how excellent is thy name on all the earth! thou who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

^{9 (8:10)} O Eternal One our Lord, how excellent is thy name on all the earth!

^{7 (47:8)} For God is King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

⁴⁵ So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and I will perform it, to observe thy righteous ordinances.

⁹ For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, will I seek thy good.

⁹ Honor the Lord with thy wealth, and with the first-fruits of all thy products:

⁹ Honor the Lord with thy wealth, and with the first-fruits of all thy products: ¹⁰ So shall thy storehouses be filled with plenty, and with new wine shall thy presses overflow.

¹⁸ The lot causeth disputes to cease, and it decideth between the mighty.

^{2 (5:1)} Suffer not thy mouth to be rash, and let thy heart not be hasty to utter any word before God; for God is in the heavens, and thou art upon the earth: therefore let thy words be few.

¹ For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make choice of Israel, and replace them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined unto them, and they shall attach themselves to the house of Jacob.

¹⁶ And Lebanon is not sufficient for burning, and its beasts do not suffice for burnt-offering.

⁶ Is not this rather the fast that I will choose? to open the snares of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye should break asunder every yoke?

¹³ If thou restrain thy foot for the sake of the sabbath, not doing thy business on my holy day; and if thou call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord, honorable; and honor it by not doing thy usual pursuits, by not following thy own business, and speaking vain words: ¹⁴ Then shalt thou find delight in the Lord; and I will cause thee to tread upon the high places of the earth, and I will cause thee to enjoy the inheritance of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

² And if thou wilt swear, As the Lord liveth, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness: then shall nations bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glorify themselves.

²¹ Thus hath said the Lord, Take heed for your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath-day, nor bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem; ²² Nor shall you carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath-day, and no manner of work shall ye do, but hallow ye the sabbath-day, as I have commanded your fathers;

⁴ And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, if ye will not hearken unto me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

²⁷ And my spirit I will put within you, and I will cause that you shall walk in my statutes, and that my ordinances ye shall keep, and do them.

⁸ Can a man rob God, that ye will rob me? But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and in heave-offerings.

⁸ Can a man rob God, that ye will rob me? But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and in heave-offerings. ⁹ With the curse are ye cursed, and yet me do ye rob, O ye entire nation! ¹⁰ Bring ye all the tithes into the store-house, that there may be provision in my house, and prove me but herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing, until it be more than enough.
