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.

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}
Also I shookH5287 my lapH2684, and saidH559, So GodH430 shake outH5287 every manH376 from his houseH1004, and from his labourH3018, that performethH6965 not this promiseH1697, even thus be he shaken outH5287, and emptiedH7386. And all the congregationH6951 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068. And the peopleH5971 didH6213 according to this promiseH1697. {emptied: Heb. empty, or, void}
And it shall be, if the wicked manH7563 be worthyH1121 to be beatenH5221, that the judgeH8199 shall cause him to lie downH5307, and to be beatenH5221 before his faceH6440, accordingH1767 to his faultH7564, by a certain numberH4557.
I gaveH5414 my backH1460 to the smitersH5221, and my cheeksH3895 to them that plucked offH4803 the hair: I hidH5641 not my faceH6440 from shameH3639 and spittingH7536.
They claveH2388 to their brethrenH251, their noblesH117, and enteredH935 into a curseH423, and into an oathH7621, to walkH3212 in God'sH430 lawH8451, which was givenH5414 byH3027 MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, and to observeH8104 and doH6213 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 our LordH113, and his judgmentsH4941 and his statutesH2706; {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And thou takeH3947 of their daughtersH1323 unto thy sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and makeH2181 thy sonsH1121 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430.
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?
And the LevitesH3881 shall speakH6030, and sayH559 unto all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH7311 voiceH6963,
CursedH779 be the manH376 that makethH6213 any gravenH6459 or molten imageH4541, an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the craftsmanH2796, and puttethH7760 it in a secretH5643 place. And all the peopleH5971 shall answerH6030 and sayH559, AmenH543.

CursedH779 be he that maketh the blindH5787 to wanderH7686 out of the wayH1870. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.
CursedH779 be he that pervertethH5186 the judgmentH4941 of the strangerH1616, fatherlessH3490, and widowH490. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.
CursedH779 be he that liethH7901 with his father'sH1 wifeH802; because he uncoverethH1540 his father'sH1 skirtH3671. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.

CursedH779 be he that confirmethH6965 not all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 to doH6213 them. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.
FortyH705 stripesH5221 he may give him, and not exceedH3254: lest, if he should exceedH3254, and beatH5221 him above these with manyH7227 stripesH4347, then thy brotherH251 should seem vileH7034+H5869 unto thee.
And that we would not giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto the peopleH5971 of the landH776, nor takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 for our sonsH1121:
Neither shalt thou make marriagesH2859 with them; thy daughterH1323 thou shalt not giveH5414 unto his sonH1121, nor his daughterH1323 shalt thou takeH3947 unto thy sonH1121.
They that forsakeH5800 the lawH8451 praiseH1984 the wickedH7563: but such as keepH8104 the lawH8451 contendH1624 with them.
In whose eyesH5869 a vile personH3988 is contemnedH959; but he honourethH3513 them that fearH3373 the LORDH3068. He that swearethH7650 to his own hurtH7489, and changethH4171 not.
And whosoeverH3606 will notH3809 doH1934+H5648 the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 speedilyH629 upon himH4481, whetherH2006 it be unto deathH4193, orH2006 to banishmentH8332, orH2006 to confiscationH6065 of goodsH5232, or to imprisonmentH613. {to banishment: Chaldee, to rooting out}
Thou shalt fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and serveH5647 him, and shalt swearH7650 by his nameH8034.
ThenG1161 answeredG611 oneG5100 of the lawyersG3544, and saidG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, thusG5023 sayingG3004 thou reproachestG5195 usG2248 alsoG2532.
And they enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315;
That whosoever would not seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 should be put to deathH4191, whetherH4480 smallH6996 or greatH1419, whether manH376 or womanH802.
And they swareH7650 unto the LORDH3068 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, and with shoutingH8643, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cornetsH7782.
And all JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055 at the oathH7621: for they had swornH7650 with all their heartH3824, and soughtH1245 him with their whole desireH7522; and he was foundH4672 of them: and the LORDH3068 gave them restH5117 round aboutH5439.
