Nehemiah 9:1-23

1Now in the twentyH6242 and fourth dayH3117 of this monthH2320 the children of IsraelH3478 were assembled with fastingH6685, and with sackclothH8242, and earthH127 upon them. 2And the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 separatedH914 themselves from all foreigners, and stoodH5975 and confessedH3034 their sinsH2403, and the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1. 3And they stoodH6965 up in their placeH5977, and readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of Jehovah their GodH430 a fourthH7243 part of the dayH3117; andanotherfourthH7243 part they confessedH3034, and worshipped Jehovah their GodH430. 4Then stoodH6965 up upon the stairs of the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, KadmielH6934, ShebaniahH7645, BunniH1138, SherebiahH8274, BaniH1137, and Chenani, and criedH2199 with a loud voiceH6963 unto Jehovah their GodH430.

5Then the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and KadmielH6934, BaniH1137, HashabneiahH2813, SherebiahH8274, HodiahH1941, ShebaniahH7645, andPethahiahH6611, saidH559, StandH6965 up and blessH1288 Jehovah your GodH430 from everlasting to everlasting; and blessedH1288 be thy glorious nameH8034, which is exaltedH7311 above all blessingH1293 and praiseH8416. 6Thou art Jehovah, even thou aloneH905; thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064, the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064, with all their hostH6635, the earthH776 and all things that are thereon, the seasH3220 and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all; and the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 worshippeth thee. 7Thou art Jehovah the GodH430, who didst chooseH977 AbramH87, and broughtest him forthH3318 out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the nameH8034 of AbrahamH85, 8and foundest his heartH3824 faithfulH539 before thee, and madest a covenantH1285 with him to giveH5414 the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the AmoriteH567, and the PerizziteH6522, and the JebusiteH2983, and the GirgashiteH1622, to giveH5414 it unto his seedH2233, and hast performed thy wordsH1697; for thou art righteousH6662.

9And thou sawest the affliction of our fathersH1 in EgyptH4714, and heardest their cryH2201 by the Red SeaH3220, 10and showedst signsH226 and wondersH4159 upon PharaohH6547, and on all his servantsH5650, and on all the peopleH5971 of his landH776; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them, and didst get thee a nameH8034, as it is this dayH3117. 11And thou didst divide the seaH3220 before them, so that they went through the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 on the dryH3004 landH3004; and their pursuersH7291 thou didst castH7993 into the depthsH4688, as a stoneH68 into the mightyH5794 watersH4325. 12Moreover in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 thou leddest them by dayH3119; and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to giveH215 them lightH215 in the wayH1870 wherein they should go. 13Thou camest downH3381 also upon mount SinaiH5514, and spakest with them from heavenH8064, and gavest them rightH3477 ordinancesH4941 and true lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687, 14and madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and commandedst them commandmentsH4687, and statutesH2706, and a lawH8451, by MosesH4872 thy servantH5650, 15and gavest them breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and commandedst them that they should goH3318 in to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst sworn to giveH5414 them.

16But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudly, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and hearkened not to thy commandmentsH4687, 17and refusedH3985 to obey, neither were mindful of thy wondersH6381 that thou didst among them, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointed a captain to returnH7725 to their bondage. But thou art a GodH433 ready to pardon, graciousH2587 and merciful, slow to angerH639, and abundant in lovingkindness, and forsookest them not. 18Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a molten calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that broughtH5927 thee up out of EgyptH4714, and had wrought greatH1419 provocations; 19yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from over them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to show them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should go. 20Thou gavest also thy goodH2896 SpiritH7307 to instruct them, and withheldest not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavest them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772. 21Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, and they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not old, and their feetH7272 swelled not. 22Moreover thou gavest them kingdomsH4467 and peoplesH5971, which thou didst allot after their portions: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, even the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316. 23Their children also multipliedst thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtest them into the landH776 concerningH413 which thou didst sayH559 to their fathersH1, that they should goH935 in to possessH3423 it.
