H3117
On that day
H7121 [H8738]
they read
H5612
in the book
H4872
of Moses
H241
in the hearing
H5971
of the people;
H4672 [H8738]
and in it was found
H3789 [H8803]
written,
H5984
that the Ammonite
H4125
and the Moabite
H935 [H8799]
should not come
H6951
into the congregation
H430
of God
H5704
for
H5769
ever;
2
H6923 [H8765]
Because they met
H1121
not the sons
H3478
of Israel
H3899
with bread
H4325
and with water,
H7936 [H8799]
but hired
H1109
Balaam
H7043 [H8763]
against them, that he should curse
H430
them: but our God
H2015 [H8799]
turned
H7045
the curse
H1293
into a blessing.
3
H8085 [H8800]
Now it came to pass, when they had heard
H8451
the law,
H914 [H8686]
that they separated
H3478
from Israel
H6154
all the mixed multitude.
4
H6440
And at the face of
H475
this, Eliashib
H3548
the priest,
H5414 [H8803]
having the oversight
H3957
of the chamber
H1004
of the house
H430
of our God,
H7138
was allied
H2900
to Tobiah:
5
H6213 [H8799]
And he had prepared
H1419
for him a great
H3957
chamber,
H6440
where at the face of
H5414 [H8802]
they laid
H4503
the meat 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 was commanded
H3881
to be given to the Levites,
H7891 [H8789]
and the singers,
H7778
and the porters;
H8641
and the offerings
H3548
of the priests.
6
H3389
But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem:
H8147
for in the two
H7970
and thirtieth
H8141
year
H783
of Artaxerxes
H4428
king
H894
of Babylon
H935 [H8804]
I came
H4428
to the king,
H7093
and after
H3117
certain days
H7592 [H8738]
I obtained leave
H4428
of the king:
7
H935 [H8799]
And I came
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H995 [H8799]
and understood
H7451
of the evil
H475
that Eliashib
H6213 [H8804]
did
H2900
for Tobiah,
H6213 [H8800]
in preparing
H5393
for him a chamber
H2691
in the courts
H1004
of the house
H430
of God.
8
H3415 [H8799]
And it grieved
H3966
me greatly:
H7993 [H8686]
therefore I cast forth
H1004
all the household
H3627
goods
H2900
of Tobiah
H2351
out of
H3957
the chamber.
9
H559 [H8799]
Then I commanded,
H2891 [H8762]
and they cleansed
H3957
the chambers:
H7725 [H8686]
and there I brought again
H3627
the vessels
H1004
of the house
H430
of God,
H4503
with the meat offering
H3828
and the frankincense.
10
H3045 [H8799]
And I perceived
H4521
that the portions
H3881
of the Levites
H5414 [H8738]
had not been given
H3881
them: for the Levites
H7891 [H8789]
and the singers,
H6213 [H8802]
that did
H4399
the work,
H1272 [H8799]
had fled
H376
every one
H7704
to his field.
11
H7378 [H8799]
Then I contended
H5461
with the rulers,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H1004
Why is the house
H430
of God
H5800 [H8738]
forsaken?
H6908 [H8762]
And I gathered them together,
H5975 [H8686]
and set
H5977
them in their place.
12
H3063
Then all Judah
H935 [H8689]
brought
H4643
the tithe
H1715
of the grain
H8492
and the new wine
H3323
and the oil
H214
to the treasuries.
13
H686 [H8799]
And I made treasurers
H214
over the treasuries,
H8018
Shelemiah
H3548
the priest,
H6659
and Zadok
H5608 [H8802]
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 [H8738]
for they were accounted
H539 [H8737]
faithful,
H2505 [H8800]
and their office was to distribute
H251
to their brethren.
14
H2142 [H8798]
Remember
H430
me, O my God,
H4229 [H8686]
concerning this, and wipe not out
H2617
my mercies
H6213 [H8804]
that I have done
H1004
for the house
H430
of my God,
H4929
and for its offices.
15
H3117
In those days
H7200 [H8804]
I saw
H3063
in Judah
H1869 [H8802]
some treading
H1660
wine presses
H7676
on the sabbath,
H935 [H8688]
and bringing in
H6194
sheaves,
H6006 [H8802]
and loading them on
H2543
donkeys;
H3196
as also wine,
H6025
grapes,
H8384
and figs,
H4853
and all manner of burdens,
H935 [H8688]
which they brought
H3389
into Jerusalem
H7676
on the sabbath
H3117
day:
H5749 [H8686]
and I testified
H3117
against them in the day
H4376 [H8800]
when they sold
H6718
food.
16
H3427 [H8804]
There dwelt
H6876
men of Tyre
H935 [H8688]
also in the city, who brought
H1709 H1709 [H8675]
fish,
H4377
and all kinds of wares,
H4376 [H8802]
and sold
H7676
on the sabbath
H1121
to the sons
H3063
of Judah,
H3389
and in Jerusalem.
17
H7378 [H8799]
Then I contended
H2715
with the nobles
H3063
of Judah,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H7451
to them, What evil
H1697
thing
H6213 [H8802]
is this that ye do,
H2490 [H8764]
and profane
H7676
the sabbath
H3117
day?
18
H6213 [H8804]
Did
H1
not your fathers
H935 0
thus, and did
H430
not our God
H935 [H8686]
bring
H7451
all this evil
H5892
upon us, and upon this city?
H935 [H8686]
yet ye bring
H3254 [H8688]
more
H2740
burning anger
H3478
upon Israel
H2490 [H8763]
by profaning
H7676
the sabbath.
19
H8179
And it came to pass, that when the gates
H3389
of Jerusalem
H6751 [H8804]
began to be dark
H6440
at the face of
H7676
the sabbath,
H559 [H8799]
I commanded
H1817
that the gates
H5462 [H8735]
should be shut,
H559 [H8799]
and charged
H6605 [H8799]
that they should not be opened
H310
till after
H7676
the sabbath:
H5975 [H8689]
and I set
H5288
some of my servants
H8179
at the gates,
H4853
that there should no burden
H935 [H8799]
be brought in
H7676
on the sabbath
H3117
day.
20
H7402 [H8802]
So the merchants
H4376 [H8802]
and sellers
H4465
of all kind of wares
H3885 [H8799]
lodged
H2351
outside of
H3389
Jerusalem
H6471
once
H8147
or twice.
21
H5749 [H8686]
Then I testified
H559 [H8799]
against them, and said
H3885 [H8801]
to them, Why lodge
H5048
ye before
H2346
the wall?
H8138 [H8799]
if ye do so again,
H7971 [H8799]
I will lay
H3027
hands
H6256
on you. From that time
H935 [H8804]
forth they came
H7676
no more on the sabbath.
22
H559 [H8799]
And I commanded
H3881
the Levites
H2891 [H8693]
that they should cleanse
H935 [H8802]
themselves, and that they should come
H8104 [H8802]
and keep
H8179
the gates,
H6942 [H8763]
to sanctify
H7676
the sabbath
H3117
day.
H2142 [H8798]
Remember
H430
me, O my God,
H2347 [H8798]
concerning this also, and spare
H7230
me according to the abundance
H2617
of thy mercy.
23
H3117
In those days
H7200 [H8804]
also I saw
H3064
Judeans
H3427 [H8689]
that had married
H802
women
H796
of Ashdod,
H5984
of Ammon,
H4125
and of Moab:
24
H1121
And their sons
H1696 [H8764]
spoke
H2677
half
H797
in the speech of Ashdod,
H5234 [H8688]
and could
H1696 [H8763]
not speak
H3066
in the Judean's language,
H3956
but according to the language
H5971
of each
H5971
people.
25
H7378 [H8799]
And I contended
H7043 [H8762]
with them, and cursed
H5221 [H8686]
them, and smote
H582
certain
H4803 [H8799]
of them, and plucked off their hair,
H7650 [H8686]
and made them swear
H430
by God,
H5414 [H8799]
saying, Ye shall not give
H1323
your daughters
H1121
to their sons,
H5375 [H8799]
nor take
H1323
their daughters
H1121
to your sons, or for yourselves.
26
H8010
Did not Solomon
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H2398 [H8804]
sin
H7227
by these things? yet among many
H1471
nations
H4428
was there no king
H157 [H8803]
like him, who was beloved
H430
by his God,
H430
and God
H5414 [H8799]
made
H4428
him king
H3478
over all Israel:
H1571
nevertheless even him
H5237
did foreign
H802
women
H2398 [H8689]
cause to sin.
27
H8085 [H8799]
Shall we then hearken
H6213 [H8800]
to you to do
H1419
all this great
H7451
evil,
H4603 [H8800]
to transgress
H430
against our God
H3427 [H8687]
in marrying
H5237
foreign
H802
women?
28
H1121
And 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 [H8686]
therefore I drove him away from me.
29
H2142 [H8798]
Remember
H430
them, O my God,
H1352
because they have defiled
H3550
the priesthood,
H1285
and the covenant
H3550
of the priesthood,
H3881
and of the Levites.
