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 the TirshathaH8660 saidH559 unto them, that they should not eatH398 of the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, till there stoodH5975 up a priestH3548 with UrimH224 and ThummimH8550. {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}
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.
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.
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 there ye shall eatH398 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and ye shall rejoiceH8055 in all that ye putH4916 your handH3027 unto, ye and your householdsH1004, wherein the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And some ofH7117 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 gaveH5414 unto the workH4399. The TirshathaH8660 gaveH5414 to the treasureH214 a thousandH505 dramsH1871 of goldH2091, fiftyH2572 basonsH4219, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 priests'H3548 garmentsH3801. {some: Heb. part.}
So they readH7121 in the bookH5612 in the lawH8451 of GodH430 distinctlyH6567, and gaveH7760 the senseH7922, and caused them to understandH995 the readingH4744.
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, In the seventhH7637 monthH2320, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, shall ye have a sabbathH7677, a memorialH2146 of blowingH8643 of trumpets, an holyH6944 convocationH4744.
And ye shall rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, ye, and your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, and your menservantsH5650, and your maidservantsH519, and the LeviteH3881 that is within your gatesH8179; forasmuchH3588 as he hath no partH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with you.
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou hast humbledH3665 thyself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, when thou heardestH8085 what I spakeH1696 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, that they should become a desolationH8047 and a curseH7045, and hast rentH7167 thy clothesH899, and weptH1058 beforeH6440 me; I also have heardH8085 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Now those that sealedH2856 were, NehemiahH5166, the TirshathaH8660, the sonH1121 of HachaliahH2446, and ZidkijahH6667, {those…: Heb. at the sealings} {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}
Now for a longH7227 seasonH3117 IsraelH3478 hath been withoutH3808 the trueH571 GodH430, and without a teachingH3384 priestH3548, and without lawH8451.
And in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, ye shall have an holyH6944 convocationH4744; ye shall doH6213 no servileH5656 workH4399: it is a dayH3117 of blowingH8643 the trumpets unto you.
And ye shall offerH6213 a burnt offeringH5930 for a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068; oneH259 youngH1241 bullockH6499, oneH259 ramH352, and sevenH7651 lambsH3532 of the firstH1121 yearH8141 without blemishH8549:
And their meat offeringH4503 shall be of flourH5560 mingledH1101 with oilH8081, threeH7969 tenth dealsH6241 for a bullockH6499, and twoH8147 tenth dealsH6241 for a ramH352,
And oneH259 tenth dealH6241 for oneH259 lambH3532, throughout the sevenH7651 lambsH3532:
And oneH259 kidH8163 of the goatsH5795 for a sin offeringH2403, to make an atonementH3722 for you:
Beside the burnt offeringH5930 of the monthH2320, and his meat offeringH4503, and the dailyH8548 burnt offeringH5930, and his meat offeringH4503, and their drink offeringsH5262, according unto their mannerH4941, for a sweetH5207 savourH7381, a sacrifice made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
And thou shalt rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservantH5650, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881 that is within thy gatesH8179, and the strangerH1616, and the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, that are amongH7130 you, in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 to placeH7931 his nameH8034 there.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And the TirshathaH8660 saidH559 unto them, that they should not eatH398 of the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, till there stood upH5975 a priestH3548 with UrimH224 and with ThummimH8550. {Tirshatha: or, governor}
And HezekiahH3169 spakeH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto all the LevitesH3881 that taughtH7919 the goodH2896 knowledgeH7922 of the LORDH3068: and they did eatH398 throughout the feastH4150 sevenH7651 daysH3117, offeringH2076 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077, and making confessionH3034 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {comfortably…: Heb. to the heart of all}
And thou shalt rejoiceH8055 in thy feastH2282, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservantH5650, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881, the strangerH1616, and the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, that are within thy gatesH8179.
GoH3212, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for them that are leftH7604 in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is poured outH5413 upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 after all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
SevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou keep a solemn feastH2287 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977: because the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in all thine increaseH8393, and in all the worksH4639 of thine handsH3027, therefore thou shalt surely rejoiceH8056.
ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lack of knowledgeH1847: because thou hast rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I will also rejectH3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priestH3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgottenH7911 the lawH8451 of thy GodH430, I will also forgetH7911 thy childrenH1121. {destroyed: Heb. cut off}
I have not eatenH398 thereof in my mourningH205, neither have I taken awayH1197 ought thereof for any uncleanH2931 use, nor givenH5414 ought thereof for the deadH4191: but I have hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and have doneH6213 according to all that thou hast commandedH6680 me.
ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599.
A timeH6256 to weepH1058, and a timeH6256 to laughH7832; a timeH6256 to mournH5594, and a timeH6256 to danceH7540;
NowG3568 I rejoiceG5463, notG3756 thatG3754 ye were made sorryG3076, butG235 thatG3754 ye sorrowedG3076 toG1519 repentanceG3341: forG1063 ye were made sorryG3076 afterG2596 a godly mannerG2316, thatG2443 ye might receive damageG2210 byG1537 usG2257 inG1722 nothingG3367. {after…: or, according to God}
ForG1063 godlyG2316+G2596 sorrowG3077 workethG2716 repentanceG3341 toG1519 salvationG4991 not to be repented ofG278: butG1161 the sorrowG3077 of the worldG2889 workethG2716 deathG2288.
ForG1063 beholdG2400 thisG5124 selfsame thingG846, thatG5209 ye sorrowedG3076 afterG2596 a godly sortG2316, whatG4214 carefulnessG4710 it wroughtG2716 in youG5213, yeaG235, what clearing of yourselvesG627, yeaG235, what indignationG24, yeaG235, what fearG5401, yeaG235, what vehement desireG1972, yeaG235, what zealG2205, yeaG235, what revengeG1557! InG1722 allG3956 things ye have approvedG4921 yourselvesG1438 to beG1511 clearG53 inG1722 this matterG4229.
To appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414 unto them beautyH6287 for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heavinessH3544; that they might be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that he might be glorifiedH6286.
