Nehemiah 7
Revised Version 1895
1NowH1961 it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the wallH2346 was builtH1129, and I had setH5975 upH5975 the doorsH1817, and the porters and the singersH7891 and the LevitesH3881 were appointedH5975, 2that I gaveH6680 my brotherH251 HananiH2607, and HananiahH2608 the governorH8269 of the castle, chargeH5921 over JerusalemH3389: for he was a faithfulH571 manH376, and fearedH3372 GodH430 aboveH5921 manyH7227. 3And I saidH559 unto them, LetH3808 notH3808 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 be openedH6605 untilH5704 the sunH8121 be hotH2527; and whileH5704 they standH5975 on guardH4929, letH3808 them shutH1479 the doorsH1817, and bar ye them: and appointH5975 watches of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, everyH376 one in his watchH4931, and everyH376 one to be over againstH5048 his houseH1004. 4NowH369 the cityH5892 was wideH7342 and largeH1419: but the peopleH5971 were fewH4592 therein, and the housesH1004 were notH369 builded. 5And my GodH430 putH5414 intoH413 my heartH3820 to gatherH6908 togetherH6908 the noblesH2715, and the rulersH5461, and the peopleH5971, that they might be reckoned by genealogyH3187. And I foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the genealogyH3187 of them which cameH5927 upH5927 at the firstH7223, and I foundH4672 writtenH3789 therein: 6TheseH428 are the childrenH1121 of the provinceH4082, that wentH5927 upH5927 outH376 of the captivityH1540 of thoseH428 that had been carriedH1540 awayH7725, whomH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carriedH1540 awayH7725, and that returnedH7725 unto JerusalemH3389 and to JudahH3063, everyH376 one unto his cityH5892; 7who cameH935 with ZerubbabelH2216, JeshuaH3442, NehemiahH5166, AzariahH5838, RaamiahH7485, NahamaniH5167, MordecaiH4782, BilshanH1114, MisperethH4559, BigvaiH902, NehumH5149, BaanahH1196.
