“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, the God^§ of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

Ezra 1:2 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).

Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia, H6539 The Lord H3068 God H430 of heaven H8064 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) me all the kingdoms H4467 of the earth; H776 and he hath charged H6485 (QalPerf) me to build H1129 (QalInf) him an house H1004 at Jerusalem, H3389 which is in Judah. H3063

ουτως ειπεν κυρος βασιλευς περσων πασας τας βασιλειας της γης εδωκεν μοι κυριος ο θεος του ουρανου και αυτος επεσκεψατο επ εμε του οικοδομησαι αυτω οικον εν ιερουσαλημ τη εν τη ιουδαια

The governor told them that they should not eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to serve with Urim and with Thummim.

And the Tirshatha^§ H8660 said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, that they should not eat H398 (QalImpf) of the most H6944 holy things, H6944 till there stood up H5975 (QalInf) a priest H3548 with Urim H224 and with Thummim. H8550

Ezra 2:63 Or, governor

και ειπεν αθερσαθα αυτοις του μη φαγειν απο του αγιου των αγιων εως αναστη ιερευς τοις φωτιζουσιν και τοις τελειοις

they came near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers’ households, and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have been sacrificing to him since the days of Esar Haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.”

then they came H5066 (QalImpf) to Zerubbabel, H2216 and to the chief H7218 of the fathers, H1 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Let us build H1129 (QalImpf) with you: for we seek H1875 (QalImpf) your God, H430 as ye do; and we do sacrifice H2076 (QalActPtc) unto him since the days H3117 of Esarhaddon H634 king H4428 of Assur, H804 which brought us up hither. H5927 (HiphPtc)

και ηγγισαν προς ζοροβαβελ και προς τους αρχοντας των πατριων και ειπαν αυτοις οικοδομησομεν μεθ υμων οτι ως υμεις εκζητουμεν τω θεω υμων και αυτω ημεις θυσιαζομεν απο ημερων ασαραδδων βασιλεως ασσουρ του ενεγκαντος ημας ωδε

But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ households of Israel said to them, “You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to Yahweh, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.”

But Zerubbabel, H2216 and Jeshua, H3442 and the rest H7605 of the chief H7218 of the fathers H1 of Israel, H3478 said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build H1129 (QalInf) an house H1004 unto our God; H430 but we ourselves together H3162 will build H1129 (QalImpf) unto the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 as king H4428 Cyrus H3566 the king H4428 of Persia H6539 hath commanded H6680 (PielPerf) us.

και ειπεν προς αυτους ζοροβαβελ και ιησους και οι καταλοιποι των αρχοντων των πατριων του ισραηλ ουχ ημιν και υμιν του οικοδομησαι οικον τω θεω ημων οτι ημεις αυτοι επι το αυτο οικοδομησομεν τω κυριω θεω ημων ως ενετειλατο ημιν κυρος ο βασιλευς περσων

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”

For I was ashamed H954 (QalPerf) to require H7592 (QalInf) of the king H4428 a band of soldiers H2428 and horsemen H6571 to help H5826 (QalInf) us against the enemy H341 (QalActPtc) in the way: H1870 because we had spoken H559 (QalPerf) unto the king, H4428 saying, H559 (QalInf) The hand H3027 of our God H430 is upon all them for good H2896 that seek H1245 (PielPtc) him; but his power H5797 and his wrath H639 is against all them that forsake H5800 (QalActPtc) him.

οτι ησχυνθην αιτησασθαι παρα του βασιλεως δυναμιν και ιππεις σωσαι ημας απο εχθρου εν τη οδω οτι ειπαμεν τω βασιλει λεγοντες χειρ του θεου ημων επι παντας τους ζητουντας αυτον εις αγαθον και κρατος αυτου και θυμος αυτου επι παντας εγκαταλειποντας αυτον

I said to them, “You are holy to Yahweh, and the vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a free will offering to Yahweh, the God of your fathers.

And I said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Ye are holy H6944 unto the Lord; H3068 the vessels H3627 are holy H6944 also; and the silver H3701 and the gold H2091 are a freewill offering H5071 unto the Lord H3068 God H430 of your fathers. H1

και ειπα προς αυτους υμεις αγιοι τω κυριω και τα σκευη αγια και το αργυριον και το χρυσιον εκουσια τω κυριω θεω πατερων υμων

Now when these things were done, the princes came near to me, saying, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

Now when these things were done, H3615 (PielInf) the princes H8269 came H5066 (NiphPerf) to me, saying, H559 (QalInf) The people H5971 of Israel, H3478 and the priests, H3548 and the Levites, H3881 have not separated H914 (NiphPerf) themselves from the people H5971 of the lands, H776 doing according to their abominations, H8441 even of the Canaanites, H3669 the Hittites, H2850 the Perizzites, H6522 the Jebusites, H2983 the Ammonites, H5984 the Moabites, H4125 the Egyptians, H4713 and the Amorites. H567

και ως ετελεσθη ταυτα ηγγισαν προς με οι αρχοντες λεγοντες ουκ εχωρισθη ο λαος ισραηλ και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται απο λαων των γαιων εν μακρυμμασιν αυτων τω χανανι ο εθι ο φερεζι ο ιεβουσι ο αμμωνι ο μωαβι ο μοσερι και ο αμορι

and I said, “My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens.

and said, H559 (QalImpf) O my God, H430 I am ashamed H954 (QalPerf) and blush H3637 (NiphPerf) to lift up H7311 (HiphInf) my face H6440 to thee, my God: H430 for our iniquities H5771 are increased H7235 (QalPerf) over H4605 our head, H7218 and our trespass^§ H819 is grown up H1431 (QalPerf) unto the heavens. H8064

“Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments,

And now, O our God, H430 what shall we say H559 (QalImpf) after H310 this? for we have forsaken H5800 (QalPerf) thy commandments, H4687

τι ειπωμεν ο θεος ημων μετα τουτο οτι εγκατελιπομεν εντολας σου

which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land to which you go to possess is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness.

which thou hast commanded H6680 (PielPerf) by H3027 thy servants^§ H5650 the prophets, H5030 saying, H559 (QalInf) The land, H776 unto which ye go H935 (QalActPtc) to possess H3423 (QalInf) it, is an unclean H5079 land H776 with the filthiness H5079 of the people H5971 of the lands, H776 with their abominations, H8441 which have filled H4390 (PielPerf) it from one end H6310 to another^§ H6310 with their uncleanness.

Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.

And Shechaniah H7935 the son H1121 of Jehiel, H3171 one of the sons H1121 of Elam, H5867 answered H6030 (QalImpf) and said H559 (QalImpf) unto Ezra, H5830 We have trespassed H4603 (QalPerf) against our God, H430 and have taken H3427 (HiphImpf) strange H5237 wives H802 of the people H5971 of the land: H776 yet now there is H3426 hope H4723 in Israel H3478 concerning this thing.

και απεκριθη σεχενιας υιος ιιηλ απο υιων ηλαμ και ειπεν τω εσδρα ημεις ησυνθετησαμεν τω θεω ημων και εκαθισαμεν γυναικας αλλοτριας απο λαων της γης και νυν εστιν υπομονη τω ισραηλ επι τουτω

Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.

And Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 stood up, H6965 (QalImpf) and said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Ye have transgressed, H4603 (QalPerf) and have taken^§ H3427 (HiphImpf) strange H5237 wives, H802 to increase H3254 (HiphInf) the trespass H819 of Israel. H3478

Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.

Then all the congregation H6951 answered H6030 (QalImpf) and said H559 (QalImpf) with a loud H1419 voice, H6963 As thou hast said, H1697 so must we do. H6213 (QalInf)

They said to me, “The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.”

And they said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, The remnant H7604 (NiphPtc) that are left H7604 (NiphPerf) of the captivity H7628 there in the province H4082 are in great H1419 affliction H7451 and reproach: H2781 the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 also is broken down, H6555 (PualPtc) and the gates H8179 thereof are burned H3341 (NiphPerf) with fire. H784

και ειποσαν προς με οι καταλειπομενοι οι καταλειφθεντες απο της αιχμαλωσιας εκει εν τη χωρα εν πονηρια μεγαλη και εν ονειδισμω και τειχη ιερουσαλημ καθηρημενα και αι πυλαι αυτης ενεπρησθησαν εν πυρι

and said, “I beg you, Yahweh,^§ the God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments,

Nehemiah 1:5 “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations.

and said, H559 (QalImpf) I beseech H577 thee, O Lord H3068 God H430 of heaven, H8064 the great H1419 and terrible H3372 (NiphPtc) God, H410 that keepeth H8104 (QalActPtc) covenant H1285 and mercy H2617 for them that love H157 (QalActPtc) him and observe H8104 (QalActPtc) his commandments: H4687

και ειπα μη δη κυριε ο θεος του ουρανου ο ισχυρος ο μεγας και ο φοβερος φυλασσων την διαθηκην και το ελεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον και τοις φυλασσουσιν τας εντολας αυτου

“Remember, I beg you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you trespass, I will scatter you among the peoples;

Remember, H2142 (QalImpv) I beseech thee, the word H1697 that thou commandedst H6680 (PielPerf) thy servant H5650 Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf) If ye transgress, H4603 (QalImpf) I will scatter you abroad H6327 (HiphImpf) among the nations: H5971

μνησθητι δη τον λογον ον ενετειλω τω μωυση παιδι σου λεγων υμεις εαν ασυνθετησητε εγω διασκορπιω υμας εν τοις λαοις

The king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart.” Then I was very much afraid.

Wherefore the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Why is thy countenance H6440 sad, H7451 seeing thou art not sick? H2470 (QalActPtc) this is nothing else but sorrow H7455 of heart. H3820 Then I was very H3966 sore H7235 (HiphInf) afraid, H3372 (QalImpf)

και ειπεν μοι ο βασιλευς δια τι το προσωπον σου πονηρον και ουκ ει μετριαζων ουκ εστιν τουτο ει μη πονηρια καρδιας και εφοβηθην πολυ σφοδρα

I said to the king, “Let the king live forever! Why shouldn’t my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?”

and said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 Let the king H4428 live H2421 (QalImpf) for ever: H5769 why should not my countenance H6440 be sad, H3415 (QalImpf) when the city, H5892 the place H1004 of my fathers’ H1 sepulchres, H6913 lieth waste, H2720 and the gates H8179 thereof are consumed H398 (PualPerf) with fire? H784

και ειπα τω βασιλει ο βασιλευς εις τον αιωνα ζητω δια τι ου μη γενηται πονηρον το προσωπον μου διοτι η πολις οικος μνημειων πατερων μου ηρημωθη και αι πυλαι αυτης κατεβρωθησαν εν πυρι

Then the king said to me, “What is your request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.

Then the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, For what dost thou make request? H1245 (PielPtc) So I prayed H6419 (HithImpf) to the God H430 of heaven. H8064

και ειπεν μοι ο βασιλευς περι τινος τουτο συ ζητεις και προσηυξαμην προς τον θεον του ουρανου

I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may build it.”

And I said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 If it please H2895 (QalPerf) the king, H4428 and if thy servant H5650 have found favour H3190 (QalImpf) in thy sight, H6440 that thou wouldest send H7971 (QalImpf) me unto Judah, H3063 unto the city H5892 of my fathers’ H1 sepulchres, H6913 that I may build H1129 (QalImpf) it.

και ειπα τω βασιλει ει επι τον βασιλεα αγαθον και ει αγαθυνθησεται ο παις σου ενωπιον σου ωστε πεμψαι αυτον εις ιουδα εις πολιν μνημειων πατερων μου και ανοικοδομησω αυτην

The king said to me (the queen was also sitting by him), “How long will your journey be? When will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me, and I set a time for him.

And the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, (the queen^§ H7694 also sitting H3427 (QalActPtc) by him,) H681 For how long shall thy journey H4109 be? and when wilt thou return? H7725 (QalImpf) So it pleased H3190 (QalImpf) H6440 the king H4428 to send H7971 (QalImpf) me; and I set H5414 (QalImpf) him a time. H2165

Nehemiah 2:6 Heb. wife

και ειπεν μοι ο βασιλευς και η παλλακη η καθημενη εχομενα αυτου εως ποτε εσται η πορεια σου και ποτε επιστρεψεις και ηγαθυνθη ενωπιον του βασιλεως και απεστειλεν με και εδωκα αυτω ορον

Moreover I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;

Moreover I said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 If it please H2895 (QalPerf) the king, H4428 let letters H107 be given H5414 (QalImpf) me to the governors H6346 beyond H5676 the river, H5104 that they may convey me over H5674 (HiphImpf) till I come H935 (QalImpf) into Judah; H3063

και ειπα τω βασιλει ει επι τον βασιλεα αγαθον δοτω μοι επιστολας προς τους επαρχους περαν του ποταμου ωστε παραγαγειν με εως ελθω επι ιουδαν

Then I said to them, “You see the bad situation that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let’s build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won’t be disgraced.”

Then said H559 (QalImpf) I unto them, Ye see H7200 (QalActPtc) the distress H7451 that we are in, how Jerusalem H3389 lieth waste, H2720 and the gates H8179 thereof are burned H3341 (NiphPerf) with fire: H784 come, H3212 (QalImpv) and let us build up H1129 (QalImpf) the wall H2346 of Jerusalem, H3389 that we be no more a reproach. H2781

και ειπα προς αυτους υμεις βλεπετε την πονηριαν εν η εσμεν εν αυτη πως ιερουσαλημ ερημος και αι πυλαι αυτης εδοθησαν πυρι δευτε και διοικοδομησωμεν το τειχος ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εσομεθα ετι ονειδος

I told them about the hand of my God which was good on me, and also about the king’s words that he had spoken to me. They said, “Let’s rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work.

Then I told H5046 (HiphImpf) them of the hand H3027 of my God H430 which was good H2896 upon me; as also the king’s H4428 words H1697 that he had spoken H559 (QalPerf) unto me. And they said, H559 (QalImpf) Let us rise up H6965 (QalImpf) and build. H1129 (QalPerf) So they strengthened H2388 (PielImpf) their hands H3027 for this good H2896 work.

και απηγγειλα αυτοις την χειρα του θεου η εστιν αγαθη επ εμε και τους λογους του βασιλεως ους ειπεν μοι και ειπα αναστωμεν και οικοδομησωμεν και εκραταιωθησαν αι χειρες αυτων εις αγαθον

But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite servant, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they ridiculed us and despised us, and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?”

But when Sanballat H5571 the Horonite, H2772 and Tobiah H2900 the servant, H5650 the Ammonite, H5984 and Geshem H1654 the Arabian, H6163 heard H8085 (QalImpf) it, they laughed us to scorn, H3932 (HiphImpf) and despised H959 (QalImpf) us, and said, H559 (QalImpf) What is this thing H1697 that ye do? H6213 (QalActPtc) will ye rebel H4775 (QalActPtc) against the king? H4428

και ηκουσεν σαναβαλλατ ο αρωνι και τωβια ο δουλος ο αμμωνι και γησαμ ο αραβι και εξεγελασαν ημας και ηλθον εφ ημας και ειπαν τι το ρημα τουτο ο υμεις ποιειτε η επι τον βασιλεα υμεις αποστατειτε

Then I answered them, and said to them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem.”

Then answered H7725 (HiphImpf) H1697 I them, and said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, The God H430 of heaven, H8064 he will prosper H6743 (HiphImpf) us; therefore we his servants H5650 will arise H6965 (QalImpf) and build: H1129 (QalPerf) but ye have no portion, H2506 nor right, H6666 nor memorial, H2146 in Jerusalem. H3389

και επεστρεψα αυτοις λογον και ειπα αυτοις ο θεος του ουρανου αυτος ευοδωσει ημιν και ημεις δουλοι αυτου καθαροι και οικοδομησομεν και υμιν ουκ εστιν μερις και δικαιοσυνη και μνημοσυνον εν ιερουσαλημ

He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, since they are burned?”

And he spake H559 (QalImpf) before H6440 his brethren H251 and the army H2428 of Samaria, H8111 and said, H559 (QalImpf) What do H6213 (QalActPtc) these feeble H537 Jews? H3064 will they fortify H5800 (QalImpf) themselves?^§ will they sacrifice? H2076 (QalImpf) will they make an end H3615 (PielImpf) in a day? H3117 will they revive H2421 (PielImpf) the stones H68 out of the heaps H6194 of the rubbish H6083 which are burned? H8313 (QalPasPtc)

Nehemiah 4:2 Heb. leave to themselves

^[3:34] και ειπεν ενωπιον των αδελφων αυτου αυτη η δυναμις σομορων οτι οι ιουδαιοι ουτοι οικοδομουσιν την εαυτων πολιν

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall.”

Now Tobiah H2900 the Ammonite H5984 was by him, H681 and he said, H559 (QalImpf) Even that which they build, H1129 (QalActPtc) if a fox H7776 go up, H5927 (QalImpf) he shall even break down H6555 (QalPerf) their stone H68 wall. H2346

^[3:35] και τωβιας ο αμμανιτης εχομενα αυτου ηλθεν και ειπαν προς εαυτους μη θυσιασουσιν η φαγονται επι του τοπου αυτων ουχι αναβησεται αλωπηξ και καθελει το τειχος λιθων αυτων

Judah said, “The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading and there is much rubble, so that we are not able to build the wall.”

And Judah H3063 said, H559 (QalImpf) The strength H3581 of the bearers of burdens H5449 is decayed, H3782 (QalPerf) and there is much H7235 (HiphInf) rubbish; H6083 so that we are not able H3201 (QalImpf) to build H1129 (QalInf) the wall. H2346

^[4:4] και ειπεν ιουδας συνετριβη η ισχυς των εχθρων και ο χους πολυς και ημεις ου δυνησομεθα οικοδομειν εν τω τειχει

Our adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in among them and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”

And our adversaries H6862 said, H559 (QalImpf) They shall not know, H3045 (QalImpf) neither see, H7200 (QalImpf) till we come H935 (QalImpf) in the midst H8432 among H8432 them, and slay H2026 (QalPerf) them, and cause the work H4399 to cease. H7673 (HiphPerf)

^[4:5] και ειπαν οι θλιβοντες ημας ου γνωσονται και ουκ οψονται εως οτου ελθωμεν εις μεσον αυτων και φονευσωμεν αυτους και καταπαυσωμεν το εργον

When the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”

And it came to pass, that when the Jews H3064 which dwelt H3427 (QalActPtc) by them H681 came, H935 (QalPerf) they said H559 (QalImpf) unto us ten H6235 times, H6471 From all places H4725 whence ye shall return H7725 (QalImpf) unto us^§ they will be upon you.

Nehemiah 4:12 Or, that from all places ye must return to us

^[4:6] και εγενετο ως ηλθοσαν οι ιουδαιοι οι οικουντες εχομενα αυτων και ειποσαν ημιν αναβαινουσιν εκ παντων των τοπων εφ ημας

I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

And I looked, H7200 (QalImpf) and rose up, H6965 (QalImpf) and said H559 (QalImpf) unto the nobles, H2715 and to the rulers, H5461 and to the rest H3499 of the people, H5971 Be not ye afraid H3372 (QalImpf) of them: H6440 remember H2142 (QalImpv) the Lord, H136 which is great H1419 and terrible, H3372 (NiphPtc) and fight H3898 (NiphImpv) for your brethren, H251 your sons, H1121 and your daughters, H1323 your wives, H802 and your houses. H1004

^[4:8] και ειδον και ανεστην και ειπα προς τους εντιμους και προς τους στρατηγους και προς τους καταλοιπους του λαου μη φοβηθητε απο προσωπου αυτων μνησθητε του θεου ημων του μεγαλου και φοβερου και παραταξασθε περι των αδελφων υμων υιων υμων και θυγατερων υμων γυναικων υμων και οικων υμων

I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and widely spread out, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.

And I said H559 (QalImpf) unto the nobles, H2715 and to the rulers, H5461 and to the rest H3499 of the people, H5971 The work H4399 is great H7235 (HiphInf) and large, H7342 and we are separated H6504 (NiphPtc) upon the wall, H2346 one H376 far from H7350 another. H251

^[4:13] και ειπα προς τους εντιμους και προς τους αρχοντας και προς τους καταλοιπους του λαου το εργον πλατυ και πολυ και ημεις σκορπιζομεθα επι του τειχους μακραν ανηρ απο του αδελφου αυτου

Likewise at the same time I said to the people, “Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day.”

Likewise at the same time H6256 said H559 (QalPerf) I unto the people, H5971 Let every one H376 with his servant H5288 lodge H3885 (QalImpf) within H8432 Jerusalem, H3389 that in the night H3915 they may be a guard H4929 to us, and labour H4399 on the day. H3117

^[4:16] και εν τω καιρω εκεινω ειπα τω λαω αυλισθητε εν μεσω ιερουσαλημ και εστω υμιν η νυξ προφυλακη και η ημερα εργον

For there were some who said, “We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live.”

For there were H3426 that said, H559 (QalActPtc) We, our sons, H1121 and our daughters, H1323 are many: H7227 therefore we take up H3947 (QalImpf) corn H1715 for them, that we may eat, H398 (QalImpf) and live. H2421 (QalImpf)

και ησαν τινες λεγοντες εν υιοις ημων και εν θυγατρασιν ημων ημεις πολλοι και λημψομεθα σιτον και φαγομεθα και ζησομεθα

There were also some who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine.”

Some also there were H3426 that said, H559 (QalActPtc) We have mortgaged H6148 (QalActPtc) our lands, H7704 vineyards, H3754 and houses, H1004 that we might buy H3947 (QalImpf) corn, H1715 because of the dearth. H7458

και εισιν τινες λεγοντες αγροι ημων και αμπελωνες ημων και οικιαι ημων ημεις διεγγυωμεν και λημψομεθα σιτον και φαγομεθα

There were also some who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral.

There were H3426 also that said, H559 (QalActPtc) We have borrowed H3867 (QalPerf) money H3701 for the king’s H4428 tribute, H4060 and that upon our lands H7704 and vineyards. H3754

και εισιν τινες λεγοντες εδανεισαμεθα αργυριον εις φορους του βασιλεως αγροι ημων και αμπελωνες ημων και οικιαι ημων

Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, “You exact usury, everyone of his brother.” I held a great assembly against them.

Then I consulted H4427 (NiphImpf) with myself,^§ H3820 and I rebuked H7378 (QalImpf) the nobles, H2715 and the rulers, H5461 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Ye exact H5378 (QalPtc) (Kethib) H5383 (QalActPtc) (Qere) H5375 (QalActPtc) usury, H4855 every one H376 of his brother. H251 And I set H5414 (QalImpf) a great H1419 assembly H6952 against them.

Nehemiah 5:7 Heb. my heart consulted in me

και εβουλευσατο καρδια μου επ εμε και εμαχεσαμην προς τους εντιμους και τους αρχοντας και ειπα αυτοις απαιτησει ανηρ τον αδελφον αυτου υμεις απαιτειτε και εδωκα επ αυτους εκκλησιαν μεγαλην

I said to them, “We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?” Then they held their peace, and found not a word to say.

And I said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, We after our ability H1767 have redeemed H7069 (QalPerf) our brethren H251 the Jews, H3064 which were sold H4376 (NiphPtc) unto the heathen; H1471 and will ye even sell H4376 (QalImpf) your brethren? H251 or shall they be sold H4376 (NiphPerf) unto us? Then held they their peace, H2790 (HiphImpf) and found H4672 (QalPerf) nothing H1697 to answer.

και ειπα αυτοις ημεις κεκτημεθα τους αδελφους ημων τους ιουδαιους τους πωλουμενους τοις εθνεσιν εν εκουσιω ημων και υμεις πωλειτε τους αδελφους υμων και ησυχασαν και ουχ ευροσαν λογον

Also I said, “The thing that you do is not good. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

Also I said, H559 (QalImpf) It is not good H2896 that H1697 ye do: H6213 (QalActPtc) ought ye not to walk H3212 (QalImpf) in the fear H3374 of our God H430 because of the reproach H2781 of the heathen H1471 our enemies? H341 (QalActPtc)

και ειπα ουκ αγαθος ο λογος ον υμεις ποιειτε ουχ ουτως εν φοβω θεου ημων απελευσεσθε απο ονειδισμου των εθνων των εχθρων ημων

Then they said, “We will restore them, and will require nothing of them. We will do so, even as you say.” Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.

Then said H559 (QalImpf) they, We will restore H7725 (HiphImpf) them, and will require H1245 (PielImpf) nothing of them; so will we do H6213 (QalImpf) as thou sayest. H559 (QalActPtc) Then I called H7121 (QalImpf) the priests, H3548 and took an oath H7650 (HiphImpf) of them, that they should do H6213 (QalInf) according to this promise. H1697

και ειπαν αποδωσομεν και παρ αυτων ου ζητησομεν ουτως ποιησομεν καθως συ λεγεις και εκαλεσα τους ιερεις και ωρκισα αυτους ποιησαι ως το ρημα τουτο

Also I shook out my lap, and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that doesn’t perform this promise; even may he be shaken out and emptied like this.” All the assembly said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh. The people did according to this promise.

Also I shook H5287 (QalPerf) my lap, H2684 and said, H559 (QalImpf) So God H430 shake out H5287 (PielImpf) every man H376 from his house, H1004 and from his labour, H3018 that performeth H6965 (HiphImpf) not this promise, H1697 even thus be he shaken out, H5287 (QalPasPtc) and emptied.^§ H7386 And all the congregation H6951 said, H559 (QalImpf) Amen, H543 and praised H1984 (PielImpf) the Lord. H3068 And the people H5971 did H6213 (QalImpf) according to this promise. H1697

Nehemiah 5:13 Heb. empty or void

και την αναβολην μου εξετιναξα και ειπα ουτως εκτιναξαι ο θεος παντα ανδρα ος ου στησει τον λογον τουτον εκ του οικου αυτου και εκ κοπου αυτου και εσται ουτως εκτετιναγμενος και κενος και ειπεν πασα η εκκλησια αμην και ηνεσαν τον κυριον και εποιησεν ο λαος το ρημα τουτο

Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come! Let’s meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to harm me.

that Sanballat H5571 and Geshem H1654 sent H7971 (QalImpf) unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) Come, H3212 (QalImpv) let us meet H3259 (NiphImpf) together H3162 in some one of the villages H3715 in the plain H1237 of Ono. H207 But they thought H2803 (QalActPtc) to do H6213 (QalInf) me mischief. H7451

και απεστειλεν σαναβαλλατ και γησαμ προς με λεγων δευρο και συναχθωμεν επι το αυτο εν ταις κωμαις εν πεδιω ωνω και αυτοι λογιζομενοι ποιησαι μοι πονηριαν

I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you?”

And I sent H7971 (QalImpf) messengers H4397 unto them, saying, H559 (QalInf) I am doing H6213 (QalActPtc) a great H1419 work, H4399 so that I cannot H3201 (QalImpf) come down: H3381 (QalInf) why should the work H4399 cease, H7673 (QalImpf) whilst H834 I leave H7503 (HiphImpf) it, and come down H3381 (QalPerf) to you?

και απεστειλα επ αυτους αγγελους λεγων εργον μεγα εγω ποιω και ου δυνησομαι καταβηναι μηποτε καταπαυση το εργον ως αν τελειωσω αυτο καταβησομαι προς υμας

in which was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.

wherein was written, H3789 (QalPasPtc) It is reported H8085 (NiphPerf) among the heathen, H1471 and Gashmu^§ H1654 saith H559 (QalActPtc) it, that thou and the Jews H3064 think H2803 (QalActPtc) to rebel: H4775 (QalInf) for which cause H3651 thou buildest H1129 (QalActPtc) the wall, H2346 that thou mayest be H1933 (QalActPtc) their king, H4428 according to these words. H1697

Nehemiah 6:6 Or, Geshem

και ην γεγραμμενον εν αυτη εν εθνεσιν ηκουσθη οτι συ και οι ιουδαιοι λογιζεσθε αποστατησαι δια τουτο συ οικοδομεις το τειχος και συ γινη αυτοις εις βασιλεα

You have also appointed prophets to proclaim of you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let’s take counsel together.”

And thou hast also appointed H5975 (HiphPerf) prophets H5030 to preach H7121 (QalInf) of thee at Jerusalem, H3389 saying, H559 (QalInf) There is a king H4428 in Judah: H3063 and now shall it be reported H8085 (NiphImpf) to the king H4428 according to these words. H1697 Come H3212 (QalImpv) now therefore, and let us take counsel H3289 (NiphImpf) together. H3162

και προς τουτοις προφητας εστησας σεαυτω ινα καθισης εν ιερουσαλημ εις βασιλεα εν ιουδα και νυν απαγγελησονται τω βασιλει οι λογοι ουτοι και νυν δευρο βουλευσωμεθα επι το αυτο

Then I sent to him, saying, “There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your own heart.”

Then I sent H7971 (QalImpf) unto him, saying, H559 (QalInf) There are H1961 no such things H1697 done H1961 (NiphPerf) as thou sayest, H559 (QalActPtc) but thou feignest H908 (QalActPtc) them out of thine own heart. H3820

και απεστειλα προς αυτον λεγων ουκ εγενηθη ως οι λογοι ουτοι ους συ λεγεις οτι απο καρδιας σου συ ψευδη αυτους

For they all would have made us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done.” But now, strengthen my hands.

For they all made us afraid, H3372 (PielPtc) saying, H559 (QalInf) Their hands H3027 shall be weakened H7503 (QalImpf) from the work, H4399 that it be not done. H6213 (NiphImpf) Now therefore, O God, strengthen H2388 (PielImpv) my hands. H3027

οτι παντες φοβεριζουσιν ημας λεγοντες εκλυθησονται αι χειρες αυτων απο του εργου τουτου και ου ποιηθησεται και νυν εκραταιωσα τας χειρας μου

I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”

Afterward I came H935 (QalPerf) unto the house H1004 of Shemaiah H8098 the son H1121 of Delaiah H1806 the son H1121 of Mehetabeel, H4105 who was shut up; H6113 (QalPasPtc) and he said, H559 (QalImpf) Let us meet together H3259 (NiphImpf) in the house H1004 of God, H430 within H8432 the temple, H1964 and let us shut H5462 (QalImpf) the doors H1817 of the temple: H1964 for they will come H935 (QalActPtc) to slay H2026 (QalInf) thee; yea, in the night H3915 will they come H935 (QalActPtc) to slay H2026 (QalInf) thee.

και εγω εισηλθον εις οικον σεμει υιου δαλαια υιου μεηταβηλ και αυτος συνεχομενος και ειπεν συναχθωμεν εις οικον του θεου εν μεσω αυτου και κλεισωμεν τας θυρας αυτου οτι ερχονται νυκτος φονευσαι σε

I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”

And I said, H559 (QalImpf) Should such H3644 a man H376 as I flee? H1272 (QalImpf) and who is there, that, being as I am, would go H935 (QalImpf) into the temple H1964 to save his life? H2425 (QalPerf) I will not go in. H935 (QalImpf)

και ειπα τις εστιν ο ανηρ ος εισελευσεται εις τον οικον και ζησεται
