On that dayH3117 they readH7121 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872 in the audienceH241 of the peopleH5971; and therein was foundH4672 writtenH3789, that the AmmoniteH5984 and the MoabiteH4125 should not comeH935 into the congregationH6951 of GodH430 forH5704 everH5769; {they…: Heb. there was read} {audience: Heb. ears}
Because they metH6923 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 with breadH3899 and with waterH4325, but hiredH7936 BalaamH1109 against them, that he should curseH7043 them: howbeit our GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293.
Now it came to pass, when they had heardH8085 the lawH8451, that they separatedH914 from IsraelH3478 all the mixed multitudeH6154.
And beforeH6440 this, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, having the oversightH5414 of the chamberH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, was alliedH7138 unto TobiahH2900: {having…: Heb. being set over}
And he had preparedH6213 for him a greatH1419 chamberH3957, where aforetimeH6440 they laidH5414 the meat offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the cornH1715, the new wineH8492, and the oilH3323, which was commandedH4687 to be given to the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778; and the offeringsH8641 of the priestsH3548. {which…: Heb. the commandment of the Levites}
But in all this time was not I at JerusalemH3389: for in the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 I unto the kingH4428, and afterH7093 certain daysH3117 obtained I leaveH7592 of the kingH4428: {after…: Heb. at the end of days} {obtained…: or, I earnestly requested}
And I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and understoodH995 of the evilH7451 that EliashibH475 didH6213 for TobiahH2900, in preparingH6213 him a chamberH5393 in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430.
And it grievedH3415 me soreH3966: therefore I cast forthH7993 all the householdH1004 stuffH3627 of TobiahH2900 out ofH2351 the chamberH3957.
Then I commandedH559, and they cleansedH2891 the chambersH3957: and thither brought I againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the meat offeringH4503 and the frankincenseH3828.
And I perceivedH3045 that the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had not been givenH5414 them: for the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891, that didH6213 the workH4399, were fledH1272 every oneH376 to his fieldH7704.
Then contendedH7378 I with the rulersH5461, and saidH559, Why is the houseH1004 of GodH430 forsakenH5800? And I gathered them togetherH6908, and setH5975 them in their placeH5977. {place: Heb. standing}
Then broughtH935 all JudahH3063 the titheH4643 of the cornH1715 and the new wineH8492 and the oilH3323 unto the treasuriesH214. {treasuries: or, storehouses}
And I made treasurersH686 over the treasuriesH214, ShelemiahH8018 the priestH3548, and ZadokH6659 the scribeH5608, and of the LevitesH3881, PedaiahH6305: and next to themH3027 was HananH2605 the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983: for they were countedH2803 faithfulH539, and their office was to distributeH2505 unto their brethrenH251. {treasuries: or, storehouses} {next…: Heb. at their hand} {their office…: Heb. it was upon them}
RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, concerning this, and wipe not outH4229 my goodH2617 deeds that I have doneH6213 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430, and for the officesH4929 thereof. {good…: Heb. kindnesses} {offices: or, observations}
In those daysH3117 sawH7200 I in JudahH3063 some treadingH1869 wine pressesH1660 on the sabbathH7676, and bringing inH935 sheavesH6194, and ladingH6006 assesH2543; as also wineH3196, grapesH6025, and figsH8384, and all manner of burdensH4853, which they broughtH935 into JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117: and I testifiedH5749 against them in the dayH3117 wherein they soldH4376 victualsH6718.
There dweltH3427 men of TyreH6876 also therein, which broughtH935 fishH1709+H1709, and all manner of wareH4377, and soldH4376 on the sabbathH7676 unto the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and in JerusalemH3389.
Then I contendedH7378 with the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 unto them, What evilH7451 thingH1697 is this that ye doH6213, and profaneH2490 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117?
DidH6213 not your fathersH1 thus, and didH935 not our GodH430 bringH935 all this evilH7451 upon us, and upon this cityH5892? yet ye bringH935 moreH3254 wrathH2740 upon IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676.
And it came to pass, that when the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 began to be darkH6751 beforeH6440 the sabbathH7676, I commandedH559 that the gatesH1817 should be shutH5462, and chargedH559 that they should not be openedH6605 till afterH310 the sabbathH7676: and some of my servantsH5288 setH5975 I at the gatesH8179, that there should no burdenH4853 be brought inH935 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.
So the merchantsH7402 and sellersH4376 of all kind of wareH4465 lodgedH3885 withoutH2351 JerusalemH3389 onceH6471 or twiceH8147.
Then I testifiedH5749 against them, and saidH559 unto them, Why lodgeH3885 ye aboutH5048 the wallH2346? if ye do so againH8138, I will layH7971 handsH3027 on you. From that timeH6256 forth cameH935 they no more on the sabbathH7676. {about: Heb. before}
And I commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 that they should cleanseH2891 themselves, and that they should comeH935 and keepH8104 the gatesH8179, to sanctifyH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, concerning this also, and spareH2347 me according to the greatnessH7230 of thy mercyH2617. {greatness: or, multitude}
In those daysH3117 also sawH7200 I JewsH3064 that had marriedH3427 wivesH802 of AshdodH796, of AmmonH5984, and of MoabH4125: {had…: Heb. had made to dwell with them}
And their childrenH1121 spakeH1696 halfH2677 in the speech of AshdodH797, and couldH5234 not speakH1696 in the Jews' languageH3066, but according to the languageH3956 of eachH5971 peopleH5971. {could…: Heb. they discerned not to speak} {of each…: Heb. of people and people}
And I contendedH7378 with them, and cursedH7043 them, and smoteH5221 certainH582 of them, and plucked off their hairH4803, and made them swearH7650 by GodH430, saying, Ye shall not giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, nor takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}
Did not SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sinH2398 by these things? yet among manyH7227 nationsH1471 was there no kingH4428 like him, who was belovedH157 of his GodH430, and GodH430 madeH5414 him kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478: nevertheless even himH1571 did outlandishH5237 womenH802 cause to sinH2398.
Shall we then hearkenH8085 unto you to doH6213 all this greatH1419 evilH7451, to transgressH4603 against our GodH430 in marryingH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802?
And one of the sonsH1121 of JoiadaH3111, the sonH1121 of EliashibH475 the highH1419 priestH3548, was son in lawH2860 to SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772: therefore I chasedH1272 him from me.
RememberH2142 them, O my GodH430, because they have defiledH1352 the priesthoodH3550, and the covenantH1285 of the priesthoodH3550, and of the LevitesH3881. {because…: Heb. for the defilings}
Thus cleansedH2891 I them from all strangersH5236, and appointedH5975 the wardsH4931 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, every oneH376 in his businessH4399;
And for the woodH6086 offeringH7133, at timesH6256 appointedH2163, and for the firstfruitsH1061. RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, for goodH2896.

RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to keep it holyH6942.
SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou labourH5647, and doH6213 all thy workH4399:
But the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is the sabbathH7676 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: in it thou shalt not doH6213 any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, thy manservantH5650, nor thy maidservantH519, nor thy cattleH929, nor thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179:
For in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that in them is, and restedH5117 the seventhH7637 dayH3117: wherefore the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowedH6942 it.
And if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 bringH935 wareH4728 or any victualsH7668 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 to sellH4376, that we would not buyH3947 it of them on the sabbathH7676, or on the holyH6944 dayH3117: and that we would leaveH5203 the seventhH7637 yearH8141, and the exactionH4853 of every debtH3027. {every…: Heb. every hand}
Then I testifiedH5749 against them, and saidH559 unto them, Why lodgeH3885 ye aboutH5048 the wallH2346? if ye do so againH8138, I will layH7971 handsH3027 on you. From that timeH6256 forth cameH935 they no more on the sabbathH7676. {about: Heb. before}
SixH8337 daysH3117 thou shalt workH5647, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 thou shalt restH7673: in earing timeH2758 and in harvestH7105 thou shalt restH7673.
And while the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were in the wildernessH4057, they foundH4672 a manH376 that gatheredH7197 sticksH6086 upon the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.
And they that foundH4672 him gatheringH7197 sticksH6086 broughtH7126 him unto MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and unto all the congregationH5712.
And they putH3240 him in wardH4929, because it was not declaredH6567 what should be doneH6213 to him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, The manH376 shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191: all the congregationH5712 shall stoneH7275 him with stonesH68 withoutH2351 the campH4264.
And all the congregationH5712 broughtH3318 him withoutH2351 the campH4264, and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, and he diedH4191; as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
SixH8337 daysH3117 shall workH4399 be doneH6213, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 there shall be to you an holy dayH6944, a sabbathH7676 of restH7677 to the LORDH3068: whosoever doethH6213 workH4399 therein shall be put to deathH4191. {an…: Heb. holiness}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Take heedH8104 to yourselvesH5315, and bearH5375 no burdenH4853 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, nor bringH935 it in by the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389;
And it shall be, if thou do at allH7911 forgetH7911 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and walkH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and serveH5647 them, and worshipH7812 them, I testifyH5749 against you this dayH3117 that ye shall surelyH6 perishH6.
If thou turn awayH7725 thy footH7272 from the sabbathH7676, from doingH6213 thy pleasureH2656 on my holyH6944 dayH3117; and callH7121 the sabbathH7676 a delightH6027, the holyH6918 of the LORDH3068, honourableH3513; and shalt honourH3513 him, not doingH6213 thine own waysH1870, nor findingH4672 thine own pleasureH2656, nor speakingH1696 thine own wordsH1697:
Neither carry forthH3318 a burdenH4853 out of your housesH1004 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, neither doH6213 ye any workH4399, but hallowH6942 ye the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, as I commandedH6680 your fathersH1.
Yet he sentH7971 prophetsH5030 to them, to bring them againH7725 unto the LORDH3068; and they testifiedH5749 against them: but they would not give earH238.
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 pollutedH2490: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them.
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligentlyH8085 hearkenH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to bringH935 in no burdenH4853 through the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, but hallowH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to doH6213 noH1115 workH4399 therein;
HearH8085, O my peopleH5971, and I will speakH1696; O IsraelH3478, and I will testifyH5749 against thee: I am GodH430, even thy GodH430.
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me to hallowH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and not to bearH5375 a burdenH4853, even entering inH935 at the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117; then will I kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the gatesH8179 thereof, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389, and it shall not be quenchedH3518.
The LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 concerning you, O ye remnantH7611 of JudahH3063; GoH935 ye not into EgyptH4714: knowH3045 certainlyH3045 that I have admonishedH5749 you this dayH3117. {admonished…: Heb. testified against you}
O my peopleH5971, what have I doneH6213 unto thee? and wherein have I weariedH3811 thee? testifyH6030 against me.
AndG5037 with manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263 andG2532 exhortG3870, sayingG3004, Save yourselvesG4982 fromG575 thisG5026 untowardG4646 generationG1074.
TestifyingG1263 bothG5037 to the JewsG2453, and alsoG2532 to the GreeksG1672, repentanceG3341 towardG1519 GodG2316, andG2532 faithG4102 towardG1519 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ForG1161 I testifyG3143 againG3825 to everyG3956 manG444 that is circumcisedG4059, thatG3754 he isG2076 a debtorG3781 to doG4160 the wholeG3650 lawG3551.
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG3371 asG2531+G2532 otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
That noG3361 man go beyondG5233 andG2532 defraudG4122 hisG846 brotherG80 inG1722 any matterG4229: becauseG1360 that the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 ofG4012 allG3956 suchG5130, asG2531 weG4277 alsoG2532 have forewarnedG4277 youG5213 andG2532 testifiedG1263. {defraud: or, oppress, or, overreach} {in…: or, in the matter}
ForG1063 I testifyG4828 unto every manG3956 that hearethG191 the wordsG3056 of the prophecyG4394 of thisG5127 bookG975, IfG1437 any manG5100 shall addG2007 untoG4314 these thingsG5023, GodG2316 shall addG2007 untoG1909 himG846 the plaguesG4127 that are writtenG1125 inG1722 thisG5129 bookG975:
AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 shall take awayG851 fromG575 the wordsG3056 of the bookG976 of thisG5129 prophecyG4394, GodG2316 shall take awayG851 hisG846 partG3313 out ofG575 the bookG976 of lifeG2222, andG2532 out ofG1537 the holyG40 cityG4172, andG2532 from the things which are writtenG1125 inG1722 thisG5026 bookG975. {out of the book…: or, from the tree of life}
