commandments, and statutes, and a law, by the hand of Moses Thy servant; 15and gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and brought^ est forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and didst com- mand them that they should go in to possess the land which Thou hadst lifted up Thy hand to give them.

16But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their neck, and hearkened not to Thy commandments, 17and refused to hearken, neither were mindful of Thy wonders that Thou didst among them; but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage; but Thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and fuU of compassion, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, and f orsookest them not. 18Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; 19yet Thou in Thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness; the pillar of cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way wherein they should go. 20Thou gavest also Thy good spirit to instruct them, and with- heldest not Thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for then* thirst. 21Yea, forty years didst Thou sustain them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.

22Moreover Thou gayest them king- doms and peoples, which Thou didst allot quarter by quarter; so they ssessed the land of Sihon, even the id of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. ^Their children also didst Thou multiply as the stars of heaven, and didst bring them into the land, concerning which Thou didst say to their fathers, that bhey should go iu to possess it, MSo bhe children went in and possessed bhe land, and Thou didst subdue be- :ore them the inhabitants of the land, bhe Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. **And NEHEMIAH they took fortified cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns hewn out, vine- yards, and oliveyards, and fruit- trees in abundance; so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and luxuriated in Thy great goodness.

^Nevertheless they were disobe- dient, and rebelled against Thee, and cast Thy law behind their back, and slew Thy prophets that did forewarn them to turn them back unto Thee, and they wrought great provocations. "Therefore Thou didst deliver them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them; and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto Thee, Thou heardest from heaven, and according to Thy manifold mercies Thou gavest them saviours who might save them out of the hand of their adversaries. 28But after they had rest, they did evil again before Thee; therefore didst Thou leave them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned, and cried unto Thee, many times didst Thou hear from heaven, and deliver them according to Thy mercies; 29and didst forewarn them, that Thou mightest bring them back unto Thy law; yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto Thy command- ments, but sinned against Thine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them, and presented a stubborn shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hoar. 30Yet many years didst Thou extend mercy unto them, and didst forewarn them by Thy spirit through Thy prophets; yet would they not give ear; therefore gavest Thou them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. ^Nevertheless in Thy manifold mer- cies Thou didst not utterly consume i them, nor forsake them; for Thou art a gracious and merciful God.

32Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awful God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the travail seem little before Thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all Thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. ^Howbeit Thou art just in all that is come upon us; for Thou hast dealt truly, but we have done wickedly; Neither have our longs, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept Thy law, nor hearkened unto Thy commandments and Thy testimonies, wherewith Thou didst testify against them. 35For they have not served Thee in their kingdom, and in Thy great goodness that Thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which Thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. 36Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that Thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it. 37And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom Thou hast set over us because of our sins; also they have power over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.' "I A And yet for all this we make a xv sure covenant, and subscribe it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, set their seal unto it. 2Now those that set their seal were: Nehemiah the Tirshatha, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah; 3Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah; 4Pashhur, Ama- riah, Malchijah; 6Hattush, Shebaniah, Malmch: 6Harim, Meremoth, Oba- diah; 7I)aniel, Ginnethon, Baruch;' 8Meshullam, Abijah, Mijamin; 9Maa- NEHEMIAH ziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah. These were the priests.

10And the Leyites: Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel; nand their breth- ren, Shebaniah, Hodiah, Kelita, Pela- iah, Hanan; 12Mica, Rehob, Hashabiah, 13Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah; 14Ho- diah, Bard, Benmu.

15The chiefs of the people: Parosh, Pahath-moab, Elam, ^Zattu, Bam: 1GBunni, Azgad, Bebai; 17Adonijah, Bigvai, Adin; 18Ater, Hezekiah, Aazur 19Hodiah, Hashum, Bezai; 20Hariph! Anathoth, Nebai; 21Magpiash, Me shullam, Hezir; 22Meshezabel, Zadok. Jaddua; 23Pelatiah, Hanan, Anaiah, ^Hoshea, Hananiah Hasshub; 25Hal- lohesh, Pilha, Shobek; 26Rehum, Ha- shabnah, Maaseiah; ^7and Ahiah, Hanan, Anan; 28Malluch, Hanm, Baanah.

29And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one that had knowledge and understanding; 30they cleaved to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the com- mandments of the LORD our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes; 31and that we would not give our daughters unto the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons; 32and if the peoples of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the sabbath, or on a holy day, and that we would forego 'the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt* 33 Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God; 34for the showbread, and for the continual meal-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the appointed seasons, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. 35And we cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood-offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed, year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the Law; 36and to bring the first- fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all manner of trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD; 37also the first-born of our sons, and of our cattle, as^it is written m the Law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God; 38and that we should bring the first of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, the wine and the oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our land unto the Leyites; for they, the Levites, take the tithes in aU the cities of our tillage. 39And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes; and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, bo the chambers, into the treasure- house. 40For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the wine, and of the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the 1HK9 NEHEMIAH porters, and the singers; and we will not forsake the house of our God 1 1 And the princes of the people x dwelt in Jerusalem; the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities. 2And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem 3Now these are the chiefs of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israelites, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants. 4And in Jerusa- lem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Ben- jamin.

Of the children of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Sheph- atiah, the son of Mahalalel^of the children of Perez; 5and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite. 6A11 the sons of Perez that dwelt in Jerusalem were four hundred threescore and eight valiant men.

7 And these are the sons of Benjamin. Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah. 8And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred twenty and eight. 9And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer; and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second over the city.

100f the priests: Jcwiaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin, uSeraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshultarn, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the sou of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God, 12and their brethren that did the work of the house, eight hundred twenty and two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, 13and his brethren, chiefs of fathers' houses, two hundred forty and two; and Amashsai the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, 14and their brethren, mighty men of valour, a hundred twenty and eight; and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of Haggcdolim.

1BAnd of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; 1Gand Shabbethai and Jozabad. of the chiefs of the Levites, who had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God; 17and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brethren; and Abda the son of Sham- mua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. 18A11 the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.

19Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren, that kept watch at the gates, were a hundred seventy and two.

20And the residue of Jsrael, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inher- itance. 2lBut the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel; and Ziha and Gishpa were over the Nethinim.

^The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the singers, over the busi- ness of the house of God. 23For there was a commandment from the king NEHEMIAH NEHEMIAH concerning them, and a sure ordinance concerning the singers, as every day required. 24And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people. 25And for the villages, with their fields, some of the childrerj of Judah dwelt in Kiriath-arba and the towns thereof, and in Dibon and the towns thereof, and in Jekabzeel and the villages thereof; 26and in Jesh- ua, and in Moladah, and Beth-pelet, 27and in Hazar-shual, and in Beer-sheba and the towns thereof; 28and in Zik- lag, and in Mecpnah and in the towns thereof; 29and in En-rimmon, and in Zorah, and in Jarmuth; 30Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and the fields thereof, Azekah and the towns thereof. So they encamped from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom. 31And the children of ^Benjamin from Geba onward, at Miehmas and Aijah, and at Beth-el and the towns thereof; 32at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah; ^Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim; ^Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat; 35Lod, and Ono, Ge-harashim 36And of the Levites, certain courses in Judah were joined to Benjamin.

•t O Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the.son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra; sAmariah, Malluch, Hattush; 3Shec- aniah, Rehum, Meremoth; 4Iddo, Gmnethoi, Abijah; 6Mijamin, Maa- diah, Bilgah; 6Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah; 7Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jeda- iah. These were the chiefs of the priests and their brethren in the days of Jeshua.

8Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, ho and his brethren. | 9Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them in wards.

10And Jeshua begot Joiakim, and Joiakim begot Eliashib, and Eliashib begot Joiada, uand Joiada begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jaddua. 12And in the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers' houses: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Han- aniah; 13of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan; 14of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph; 15of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai; 16of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam; 17of Abijah, Zichri; of Mimamin; of Moadiah, Piltai; 18of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Je- honathan; 19and of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi; 20of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber; 21of Hilkiah, Hasha- biah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel.

^The Levites in the days of Elia- shib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jad- dua, were recorded heads of fathers' houses^ also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.

23The sons of Levi, heads of fathers' houses, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. 24And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the command- ment of David the man of God, ward against ward. ^Mattaniah, and Bak- Dukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the store-houses of the gates. 26These were in the days of Joiakim the son, of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the jovernor, and of Ezra the priest the scribe.

NEHEMIAH NEHEMIAH 27And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. 28And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the Plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites, 29also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had bunded them villages round about Jerusalem. 30And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

31Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies that gave thanks and went in procession: on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate; 32and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah; 33and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, ^Ju- dah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah; 35and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets: Zech- ariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph; 36and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Ncthanel, and Judah, Hanani. with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them: 37and by the fountain gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward. 88And the other company of them that gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half, of the people, upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even unto the broad wall; 39and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the gate of the old city and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hanan- el, and the tower of Hammeah, even unto the sheep gate; and they stood still in the gate of the guard. 40So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me; ^and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamm, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zecha- riah, and Hananiah, with trumpets t ^and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi. and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer. ^And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them re- joice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar oft.

on that day were men ap- pointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the fiorst-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that took their station. 46And they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son. ^For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God. 47And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the perters, as every day required; and they hallowed for the NEHEMIAH Levites; and the Levites hallowed for the sons of Aaron.

1 O On that day they read in the A book of Moses in the hearing of the people; arid therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God for ever; 2because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them; howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing. 3And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the alien mixture.

4Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being allied unto Tobiah, 5had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal-offerings, the frank- incense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the heave-offerings for the priests. 6But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went unto the king, and after certain days asked I leave of the king;'7and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God. - 8And it grieved me sore; there- fore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. ^Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers; and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and the frank- incense.

10And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the sing- ers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field. llThen contended 1 with the rulers, and said: 'Why is the house of God forsaken?' And I gathered them together, and set them in their place. ^Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the wine and the oil unto the treasuries. 13And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their office was to dis- tribute unto their brethren. X4Re- member me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the wards thereof.

16In those days saw I in Judah some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in heaps of corn, and lading asses therewith; as also wine, ;rapes, and figs, and all manner of •urdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I forewarned them in the day where- in they sold victuals. leThcre dwelt men of Tyre also therein, who brought in fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. I7Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them: 'What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? 18Did not your fathers thus, and did not our Gcxl bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon, Israel by profaninp the sabbath.* 19And it came to pans that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to b« dark before the sabbath, I commands I that the doors should be shut, and com- manded that they should not bo NEHEMIAH opened till after the sabbath; and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. 20So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. 21Then I forewarned them, and said unto them: ' Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you.' From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath. ^And I commanded the Levites that they should purify them- selves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, 0 my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Thy mercy.

MIn those days also saw I the Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab; 24and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people. 28And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked oft their hair, and made them swear by God: 'Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves. 26Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king Eke him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless even him did the foreign women cause to sin. 27Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to break faith with our God in marrying foreign women?'

28And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horo- nite; therefore I chased him from me. 29Remcmber them, 0 my God, be- cause they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.

s°Thus cleansed I them from every thing foreign, and appointed wards for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work; 81and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, 0 my God, for good.
