Nehemiah 第 13 章 - King James Strong Number Version

1

On that day <H3117> they read <H7121> in the book <H5612> of Moses <H4872> in the audience <H0241> of the people; <H5971> and therein was found <H4672> written, <H3789> that the Ammonite <H5984> and the Moabite <H4125> should not come <H0935> into the congregation <H6951> of God <H0430> for <H5704> ever; <H5769>

2

Because they met <H6923> not the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> with bread <H3899> and with water, <H4325> but hired <H7936> Balaam <H1109> against them, that he should curse <H7043> them: howbeit our God <H0430> turned <H2015> the curse <H7045> into a blessing. <H1293>

3

Now it came to pass, when they had heard <H8085> the law, <H8451> that they separated <H0914> from Israel <H3478> all the mixed multitude. <H6154>

4

And before <H6440> this, Eliashib <H0475> the priest, <H3548> having the oversight <H5414> of the chamber <H3957> of the house <H1004> of our God, <H0430> [was] allied <H7138> unto Tobiah: <H2900>

5

And he had prepared <H6213> for him a great <H1419> chamber, <H3957> where aforetime <H6440> they laid <H5414> the meat offerings, <H4503> the frankincense, <H3828> and the vessels, <H3627> and the tithes <H4643> of the corn, <H1715> the new wine, <H8492> and the oil, <H3323> which was commanded <H4687> [to be given] to the Levites, <H3881> and the singers, <H7891> and the porters; <H7778> and the offerings <H8641> of the priests. <H3548>

6

But in all this [time] was not I at Jerusalem: <H3389> for in the two <H8147> and thirtieth <H7970> year <H8141> of Artaxerxes <H0783> king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> came <H0935> I unto the king, <H4428> and after <H7093> certain days <H3117> obtained I leave <H7592> of the king: <H4428>

7

And I came <H0935> to Jerusalem, <H3389> and understood <H0995> of the evil <H7451> that Eliashib <H0475> did <H6213> for Tobiah, <H2900> in preparing <H6213> him a chamber <H5393> in the courts <H2691> of the house <H1004> of God. <H0430>

8

And it grieved <H3415> me sore: <H3966> therefore I cast forth <H7993> all the household <H1004> stuff <H3627> of Tobiah <H2900> out of <H2351> the chamber. <H3957>

9

Then I commanded, <H0559> and they cleansed <H2891> the chambers: <H3957> and thither brought I again <H7725> the vessels <H3627> of the house <H1004> of God, <H0430> with the meat offering <H4503> and the frankincense. <H3828>

10

And I perceived <H3045> that the portions <H4521> of the Levites <H3881> had not been given <H5414> [them]: for the Levites <H3881> and the singers, <H7891> that did <H6213> the work, <H4399> were fled <H1272> every one <H0376> to his field. <H7704>

11

Then contended <H7378> I with the rulers, <H5461> and said, <H0559> Why is the house <H1004> of God <H0430> forsaken? <H5800> And I gathered them together, <H6908> and set <H5975> them in their place. <H5977>

12

Then brought <H0935> all Judah <H3063> the tithe <H4643> of the corn <H1715> and the new wine <H8492> and the oil <H3323> unto the treasuries. <H0214>

13

And I made treasurers <H0686> over the treasuries, <H0214> Shelemiah <H8018> the priest, <H3548> and Zadok <H6659> the scribe, <H5608> and of the Levites, <H3881> Pedaiah: <H6305> and next to them <H3027> [was] Hanan <H2605> the son <H1121> of Zaccur, <H2139> the son <H1121> of Mattaniah: <H4983> for they were counted <H2803> faithful, <H0539> and their office [was] to distribute <H2505> unto their brethren. <H0251>

14

Remember <H2142> me, O my God, <H0430> concerning this, and wipe not out <H4229> my good deeds <H2617> that I have done <H6213> for the house <H1004> of my God, <H0430> and for the offices <H4929> thereof.

15

In those days <H3117> saw <H7200> I in Judah <H3063> [some] treading <H1869> wine presses <H1660> on the sabbath, <H7676> and bringing in <H0935> sheaves, <H6194> and lading <H6006> asses; <H2543> as also wine, <H3196> grapes, <H6025> and figs, <H8384> and all [manner of] burdens, <H4853> which they brought into <H0935> Jerusalem <H3389> on the sabbath <H7676> day: <H3117> and I testified <H5749> [against them] in the day <H3117> wherein they sold <H4376> victuals. <H6718>

16

There dwelt <H3427> men of Tyre <H6876> also therein, which brought <H0935> fish, <H1709> <H1709> and all manner of ware, <H4377> and sold <H4376> on the sabbath <H7676> unto the children <H1121> of Judah, <H3063> and in Jerusalem. <H3389>

17

Then I contended <H7378> with the nobles <H2715> of Judah, <H3063> and said <H0559> unto them, What evil <H7451> thing <H1697> [is] this that ye do, <H6213> and profane <H2490> the sabbath <H7676> day? <H3117>

18

Did <H6213> not your fathers <H0001> thus, and did not our God <H0430> bring <H0935> all this evil <H7451> upon us, and upon this city? <H5892> yet ye bring more <H3254> wrath <H2740> upon Israel <H3478> by profaning <H2490> the sabbath. <H7676>

19

And it came to pass, that when the gates <H8179> of Jerusalem <H3389> began to be dark <H6751> before <H6440> the sabbath, <H7676> I commanded <H0559> that the gates <H1817> should be shut, <H5462> and charged <H0559> that they should not be opened <H6605> till after <H0310> the sabbath: <H7676> and [some] of my servants <H5288> set <H5975> I at the gates, <H8179> [that] there should no burden <H4853> be brought <H0935> in on the sabbath <H7676> day. <H3117>

20

So the merchants <H7402> and sellers <H4376> of all kind of ware <H4465> lodged <H3885> without <H2351> Jerusalem <H3389> once <H6471> or twice. <H8147>

21

Then I testified <H5749> against them, and said <H0559> unto them, Why lodge <H3885> ye about <H5048> the wall? <H2346> if ye do [so] again, <H8138> I will lay <H7971> hands <H3027> on you. From that time <H6256> forth came <H0935> they no [more] on the sabbath. <H7676>

22

And I commanded <H0559> the Levites <H3881> that they should cleanse <H2891> themselves, and [that] they should come <H0935> [and] keep <H8104> the gates, <H8179> to sanctify <H6942> the sabbath <H7676> day. <H3117> Remember <H2142> me, O my God, <H0430> [concerning] this also, and spare <H2347> me according to the greatness <H7230> of thy mercy. <H2617>

23

In those days <H3117> also saw <H7200> I Jews <H3064> [that] had married <H3427> wives <H0802> of Ashdod, <H0796> of Ammon, <H5984> [and] of Moab: <H4125>

24

And their children <H1121> spake <H1696> half <H2677> in the speech of Ashdod, <H0797> and could <H5234> not speak <H1696> in the Jews' language, <H3066> but according to the language <H3956> of each <H5971> people. <H5971>

25

And I contended <H7378> with them, and cursed <H7043> them, and smote <H5221> certain <H0582> of them, and plucked off their hair, <H4803> and made them swear <H7650> by God, <H0430> [saying], Ye shall not give <H5414> your daughters <H1323> unto their sons, <H1121> nor take <H5375> their daughters <H1323> unto your sons, <H1121> or for yourselves.

26

Did not Solomon <H8010> king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> sin <H2398> by these things? yet among many <H7227> nations <H1471> was there no king <H4428> like him, who was beloved <H0157> of his God, <H0430> and God <H0430> made <H5414> him king <H4428> over all Israel: <H3478> nevertheless even <H1571> him did outlandish <H5237> women <H0802> cause to sin. <H2398>

27

Shall we then hearken <H8085> unto you to do <H6213> all this great <H1419> evil, <H7451> to transgress <H4603> against our God <H0430> in marrying <H3427> strange <H5237> wives? <H0802>

28

And [one] of the sons <H1121> of Joiada, <H3111> the son <H1121> of Eliashib <H0475> the high <H1419> priest, <H3548> [was] son in law <H2860> to Sanballat <H5571> the Horonite: <H2772> therefore I chased <H1272> him from me.

29

Remember <H2142> them, O my God, <H0430> because they have defiled <H1352> the priesthood, <H3550> and the covenant <H1285> of the priesthood, <H3550> and of the Levites. <H3881>

30

Thus cleansed <H2891> I them from all strangers, <H5236> and appointed <H5975> the wards <H4931> of the priests <H3548> and the Levites, <H3881> every one <H0376> in his business; <H4399>

31

And for the wood <H6086> offering, <H7133> at times <H6256> appointed, <H2163> and for the firstfruits. <H1061> Remember <H2142> me, O my God, <H0430> for good. <H2896>
