And all the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 as oneH259 manH376 into the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179; and they spakeH559 unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 to bringH935 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 to IsraelH3478.
And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 broughtH935 the lawH8451 beforeH6440 the congregationH6951 both of menH376 and womenH802, and all that could hearH8085 with understandingH995, upon the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320. {that…: Heb. that understood in hearing}
And he readH7121 therein beforeH6440 the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179 from the morningH216 until middayH4276+H3117, before the menH582 and the womenH802, and those that could understandH995; and the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971 were attentive unto the bookH5612 of the lawH8451. {from…: Heb. from the light}
And EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 stoodH5975 upon a pulpitH4026 of woodH6086, which they had madeH6213 for the purposeH1697; and besideH681 him stoodH5975 MattithiahH4993, and ShemaH8087, and AnaiahH6043, and UrijahH223, and HilkiahH2518, and MaaseiahH4641, on his right handH3225; and on his left handH8040, PedaiahH6305, and MishaelH4332, and MalchiahH4441, and HashumH2828, and HashbadanaH2806, ZechariahH2148, and MeshullamH4918. {pulpit…: Heb. tower of wood}
And EzraH5830 openedH6605 the bookH5612 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971; (for he was above all the peopleH5971;) and when he openedH6605 it, all the peopleH5971 stood upH5975: {sight: Heb. eyes}
And EzraH5830 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, the greatH1419 GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030, AmenH543, AmenH543, with lifting upH4607 their handsH3027: and they bowedH6915 their heads, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 with their facesH639 to the groundH776.
Also JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, and SherebiahH8274, JaminH3226, AkkubH6126, ShabbethaiH7678, HodijahH1941, MaaseiahH4641, KelitaH7042, AzariahH5838, JozabadH3107, HananH2605, PelaiahH6411, and the LevitesH3881, caused the peopleH5971 to understandH995 the lawH8451: and the peopleH5971 stood in their placeH5977.
So they readH7121 in the bookH5612 in the lawH8451 of GodH430 distinctlyH6567, and gaveH7760 the senseH7922, and caused them to understandH995 the readingH4744.
And NehemiahH5166, which is the TirshathaH8660, and EzraH5830 the priestH3548 the scribeH5608, and the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995 the peopleH5971, saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, This dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430; mournH56 not, nor weepH1058. For all the peopleH5971 weptH1058, when they heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}
Then he saidH559 unto them, Go your wayH3212, eatH398 the fatH4924, and drinkH8354 the sweetH4477, and sendH7971 portionsH4490 unto them for whom nothing is preparedH3559: for this dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto our LordH113: neither be ye sorryH6087; for the joyH2304 of the LORDH3068 is your strengthH4581.
So the LevitesH3881 stilledH2814 all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Hold your peaceH2013, for the dayH3117 is holyH6918; neither be ye grievedH6087.
And all the peopleH5971 went their wayH3212 to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to sendH7971 portionsH4490, and to makeH6213 greatH1419 mirthH8057, because they had understoodH995 the wordsH1697 that were declaredH3045 unto them.
And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gathered togetherH622 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of all the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to understandH7919 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {to understand…: or, that they might instruct in the words of the law}
And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 byH3027 MosesH4872, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320: {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And that they should publishH8085 and proclaimH5674+H6963 in all their citiesH5892, and in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Go forthH3318 unto the mountH2022, and fetchH935 oliveH2132 branchesH5929, and pineH8081 branchesH6086+H5929, and myrtleH1918 branchesH5929, and palmH8558 branchesH5929, and branchesH5929 of thickH5687 treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789.
So the peopleH5971 went forthH3318, and broughtH935 them, and madeH6213 themselves boothsH5521, every oneH376 upon the roof of his houseH1406, and in their courtsH2691, and in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the streetH7339 of the waterH4325 gateH8179, and in the streetH7339 of the gateH8179 of EphraimH669.
And all the congregationH6951 of them that were come againH7725 out of the captivityH7628 madeH6213 boothsH5521, and satH3427 under the boothsH5521: for since the daysH3117 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 unto that dayH3117 had not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 done soH6213. And there was veryH3966 greatH1419 gladnessH8057.
Also dayH3117 by dayH3117, from the firstH7223 dayH3117 unto the lastH314 dayH3117, he readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430. And they keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 was a solemn assemblyH6116, according unto the mannerH4941. {a solemn…: Heb. a restraint}

And when the seventhH7637 monthH2320 was comeH5060, and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were in the citiesH5892, the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 as oneH259 manH376 to JerusalemH3389.
Then stood upH6965 JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and his brethrenH251 the priestsH3548, and ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and his brethrenH251, and buildedH1129 the altarH4196 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 thereon, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430. {Jeshua: also called, Joshua} {Zerubbabel: Gr. Zorobabel} {Shealtiel: Gr. Salathiel}
And they setH3559 the altarH4196 upon his basesH4350; for fearH367 was upon them because of the peopleH5971 of those countriesH776: and they offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 thereon unto the LORDH3068, even burnt offeringsH5930 morningH1242 and eveningH6153.
They keptH6213 also the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521, as it is writtenH3789, and offered the dailyH3117+H3117 burnt offeringsH5930 by numberH4557, according to the customH4941, as the dutyH1697 of every dayH3117 requiredH3117; {as the duty…: Heb. the matter of the day in his day}
And afterwardH310 offered the continualH8548 burnt offeringH5930, both of the new moonsH2320, and of all the set feastsH4150 of the LORDH3068 that were consecratedH6942, and of every one that willingly offeredH5068 a freewill offeringH5071 unto the LORDH3068.
From the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 beganH2490 they to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068. But the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 was not yet laidH3245. {the foundation…: Heb. the temple of the LORD was not yet founded}
They gaveH5414 moneyH3701 also unto the masonsH2672, and to the carpentersH2796; and meatH3978, and drinkH4960, and oilH8081, unto them of ZidonH6722, and to them of TyreH6876, to bringH935 cedarH730 treesH6086 from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220 of JoppaH3305, according to the grantH7558 that they had of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539. {carpenters: or, workmen}
Now in the secondH8145 yearH8141 of their comingH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 at JerusalemH3389, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, beganH2490 ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and the remnantH7605 of their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all they that were come outH935 of the captivityH7628 unto JerusalemH3389; and appointedH5975 the LevitesH3881, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, to set forwardH5329 the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Then stoodH5975 JeshuaH3442 with his sonsH1121 and his brethrenH251, KadmielH6934 and his sonsH1121, the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, togetherH259, to set forwardH5329 the workmenH6213+H4399 in the houseH1004 of GodH430: the sonsH1121 of HenadadH2582, with their sonsH1121 and their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881. {Judah: or, Hodaviah,Chap.2.40} {together: Heb. as one}
And when the buildersH1129 laid the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, they setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their apparelH3847 with trumpetsH2689, and the LevitesH3881 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 with cymbalsH4700, to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, after the ordinanceH3027 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And they sang together by courseH6030 in praisingH1984 and giving thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; because he is goodH2896, for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769 toward IsraelH3478. And all the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, when they praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, because the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was laidH3245.
But manyH7227 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, who were ancient menH2205, that had seenH7200 the firstH7223 houseH1004, when the foundationH3245 of this houseH1004 was laidH3245 before their eyesH5869, weptH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963; and manyH7227 shoutedH8643 aloudH7311 for joyH8057:
So that the peopleH5971 could not discernH5234 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643 of joyH8057 from the noiseH6963 of the weepingH1065 of the peopleH5971: for the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a loudH1419 shoutH8643, and the noiseH6963 was heardH8085 afar offH7350.
Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318, and the congregationH5712 was gathered togetherH6950 as oneH259 manH376, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, with the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the LORDH3068 in MizpehH4709.
So the peopleH5971 went forthH3318, and broughtH935 them, and madeH6213 themselves boothsH5521, every oneH376 upon the roof of his houseH1406, and in their courtsH2691, and in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the streetH7339 of the waterH4325 gateH8179, and in the streetH7339 of the gateH8179 of EphraimH669.
And EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 stoodH5975 upon a pulpitH4026 of woodH6086, which they had madeH6213 for the purposeH1697; and besideH681 him stoodH5975 MattithiahH4993, and ShemaH8087, and AnaiahH6043, and UrijahH223, and HilkiahH2518, and MaaseiahH4641, on his right handH3225; and on his left handH8040, PedaiahH6305, and MishaelH4332, and MalchiahH4441, and HashumH2828, and HashbadanaH2806, ZechariahH2148, and MeshullamH4918. {pulpit…: Heb. tower of wood}
And EzraH5830 openedH6605 the bookH5612 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971; (for he was above all the peopleH5971;) and when he openedH6605 it, all the peopleH5971 stood upH5975: {sight: Heb. eyes}
And EzraH5830 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, the greatH1419 GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030, AmenH543, AmenH543, with lifting upH4607 their handsH3027: and they bowedH6915 their heads, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 with their facesH639 to the groundH776.
Also JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, and SherebiahH8274, JaminH3226, AkkubH6126, ShabbethaiH7678, HodijahH1941, MaaseiahH4641, KelitaH7042, AzariahH5838, JozabadH3107, HananH2605, PelaiahH6411, and the LevitesH3881, caused the peopleH5971 to understandH995 the lawH8451: and the peopleH5971 stood in their placeH5977.
So they readH7121 in the bookH5612 in the lawH8451 of GodH430 distinctlyH6567, and gaveH7760 the senseH7922, and caused them to understandH995 the readingH4744.
And NehemiahH5166, which is the TirshathaH8660, and EzraH5830 the priestH3548 the scribeH5608, and the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995 the peopleH5971, saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, This dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430; mournH56 not, nor weepH1058. For all the peopleH5971 weptH1058, when they heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}
And HilkiahH2518 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, I have foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And HilkiahH2518 deliveredH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227.
And all the peopleH5971 aroseH6965 as oneH259 manH376, sayingH559, We will not anyH376 of us goH3212 to his tentH168, neither will we anyH376 of us turnH5493 into his houseH1004.
Moreover the NethinimsH5411 dweltH3427 in OphelH6077, unto the place over against the waterH4325 gateH8179 toward the eastH4217, and the towerH4026 that lieth outH3318. {dwelt…: or, which dwelt in Ophel, repaired unto} {Ophel: or, tower}
This EzraH5830 went upH5927 from BabylonH894; and he was a readyH4106 scribeH5608 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 had givenH5414: and the kingH4428 grantedH5414 him all his requestH1246, according to the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 upon him.
To the lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584: if they speakH559 not according to this wordH1697, it is because there is no lightH7837 in them. {no…: Heb. no morning}
And at the fountainH5869 gateH8179, which was over against them, they went upH5927 by the stairsH4609 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, at the going upH4608 of the wallH2346, above the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, even unto the waterH4325 gateH8179 eastwardH4217.
Now this is the copyH6572 of the letterH5406 that the kingH4428 ArtaxerxesH783 gaveH5414 unto EzraH5830 the priestH3548, the scribeH5608, even a scribeH5608 of the wordsH1697 of the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and of his statutesH2706 to IsraelH3478.
RememberH2142 ye the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 my servantH5650, which I commandedH6680 unto him in HorebH2722 for all IsraelH3478, with the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941.
How do ye sayH559, We are wiseH2450, and the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is with us? Lo, certainlyH403 in vainH8267 madeH6213 he it; the penH5842 of the scribesH5608 is in vainH8267. {in vain made…: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}
The wiseH2450 men are ashamedH3001, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and what wisdomH2451 is in them? {The wise…: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what…: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}
ThenG1161 saidG2036 he unto themG846, ThereforeG1223+G5124 everyG3956 scribeG1122 which is instructedG3100 untoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 likeG3664 unto a manG444 that is an householderG3617, whichG3748 bringeth forthG1544 out ofG1537 hisG846 treasureG2344 things newG2537 andG2532 oldG3820.
ButG1161 woeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye shut upG2808 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 againstG1715 menG444: forG1063 yeG5210 neitherG3761 go inG1525 yourselves, neitherG3756 suffer yeG863 them that are enteringG1525 to go inG1525.
WhereforeG1223+G5124, beholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 untoG4314 youG5209 prophetsG4396, andG2532 wise menG4680, andG2532 scribesG1122: andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 ye shall killG615 andG2532 crucifyG4717; andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 shall ye scourgeG3146 inG1722 yourG5216 synagoguesG4864, andG2532 persecuteG1377 them fromG575 cityG4172 toG1519 cityG4172:
