Nehemiah Chapter 9 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Now in the twenty <H6242> and fourth <H0702> day <H3117> of this month <H2320> the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> were assembled <H0622> with fasting, <H6685> and with sackclothes, <H8242> and earth <H0127> upon them.
2: And the seed <H2233> of Israel <H3478> separated <H0914> themselves from all strangers, <H1121> <H5236> and stood <H5975> and confessed <H3034> their sins, <H2403> and the iniquities <H5771> of their fathers. <H0001>
3: And they stood up <H6965> in their place, <H5977> and read <H7121> in the book <H5612> of the law <H8451> of the LORD <H3068> their God <H0430> [one] fourth <H7243> part of the day; <H3117> and [another] fourth <H7243> part they confessed, <H3034> and worshipped <H7812> the LORD <H3068> their God. <H0430>
4: Then stood up <H6965> upon the stairs, <H4608> of the Levites, <H3881> Jeshua, <H3442> and Bani, <H1137> Kadmiel, <H6934> Shebaniah, <H7645> Bunni, <H1138> Sherebiah, <H8274> Bani, <H1137> [and] Chenani, <H3662> and cried <H2199> with a loud <H1419> voice <H6963> unto the LORD <H3068> their God. <H0430>
5: Then the Levites, <H3881> Jeshua, <H3442> and Kadmiel, <H6934> Bani, <H1137> Hashabniah, <H2813> Sherebiah, <H8274> Hodijah, <H1941> Shebaniah, <H7645> [and] Pethahiah, <H6611> said, <H0559> Stand up <H6965> [and] bless <H1288> the LORD <H3068> your God <H0430> for ever <H5769> and ever: <H5769> and blessed <H1288> be thy glorious <H3519> name, <H8034> which is exalted <H7311> above all blessing <H1293> and praise. <H8416>
6: Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD <H3068> alone; thou hast made <H6213> heaven, <H8064> the heaven <H8064> of heavens, <H8064> with all their host, <H6635> the earth, <H0776> and all [things] that [are] therein, the seas, <H3220> and all that [is] therein, and thou preservest <H2421> them all; and the host <H6635> of heaven <H8064> worshippeth <H7812> thee.
7: Thou [art] the LORD <H3068> the God, <H0430> who didst choose <H0977> Abram, <H0087> and broughtest him forth <H3318> out of Ur <H0218> of the Chaldees, <H3778> and gavest <H7760> him the name <H8034> of Abraham; <H0085>
8: And foundest <H4672> his heart <H3824> faithful <H0539> before <H6440> thee, and madest <H3772> a covenant <H1285> with him to give <H5414> the land <H0776> of the Canaanites, <H3669> the Hittites, <H2850> the Amorites, <H0567> and the Perizzites, <H6522> and the Jebusites, <H2983> and the Girgashites, <H1622> to give <H5414> [it, I say], to his seed, <H2233> and hast performed <H6965> thy words; <H1697> for thou [art] righteous: <H6662>
9: And didst see <H7200> the affliction <H6040> of our fathers <H0001> in Egypt, <H4714> and heardest <H8085> their cry <H2201> by the Red <H5488> sea; <H3220>
10: And shewedst <H5414> signs <H0226> and wonders <H4159> upon Pharaoh, <H6547> and on all his servants, <H5650> and on all the people <H5971> of his land: <H0776> for thou knewest <H3045> that they dealt proudly <H2102> against them. So didst thou get <H6213> thee a name, <H8034> as [it is] this day. <H3117>
11: And thou didst divide <H1234> the sea <H3220> before <H6440> them, so that they went through <H5674> the midst <H8432> of the sea <H3220> on the dry land; <H3004> and their persecutors <H7291> thou threwest <H7993> into the deeps, <H4688> as a stone <H0068> into the mighty <H5794> waters. <H4325>
12: Moreover thou leddest <H5148> them in the day <H3119> by a cloudy <H6051> pillar; <H5982> and in the night <H3915> by a pillar <H5982> of fire, <H0784> to give them light <H0215> in the way <H1870> wherein they should go. <H3212>
13: Thou camest down <H3381> also upon mount <H2022> Sinai, <H5514> and spakest <H1696> with them from heaven, <H8064> and gavest <H5414> them right <H3477> judgments, <H4941> and true <H0571> laws, <H8451> good <H2896> statutes <H2706> and commandments: <H4687>
14: And madest known <H3045> unto them thy holy <H6944> sabbath, <H7676> and commandedst <H6680> them precepts, <H4687> statutes, <H2706> and laws, <H8451> by the hand <H3027> of Moses <H4872> thy servant: <H5650>
15: And gavest <H5414> them bread <H3899> from heaven <H8064> for their hunger, <H7458> and broughtest forth <H3318> water <H4325> for them out of the rock <H5553> for their thirst, <H6772> and promisedst <H0559> them that they should go in <H0935> to possess <H3423> the land <H0776> which thou hadst <H5375> sworn <H3027> to give <H5414> them.
16: But they and our fathers <H0001> dealt proudly, <H2102> and hardened <H7185> their necks, <H6203> and hearkened <H8085> not to thy commandments, <H4687>
17: And refused <H3985> to obey, <H8085> neither were mindful <H2142> of thy wonders <H6381> that thou didst <H6213> among them; but hardened <H7185> their necks, <H6203> and in their rebellion <H4805> appointed <H5414> a captain <H7218> to return <H7725> to their bondage: <H5659> but thou [art] a God <H0433> ready to pardon, <H5547> gracious <H2587> and merciful, <H7349> slow <H0750> to anger, <H0639> and of great <H7227> kindness, <H2617> and forsookest <H5800> them not.
18: Yea, when they had made <H6213> them a molten <H4541> calf, <H5695> and said, <H0559> This [is] thy God <H0430> that brought thee up <H5927> out of Egypt, <H4714> and had wrought <H6213> great <H1419> provocations; <H5007>
19: Yet thou in thy manifold <H7227> mercies <H7356> forsookest <H5800> them not in the wilderness: <H4057> the pillar <H5982> of the cloud <H6051> departed <H5493> not from them by day, <H3119> to lead <H5148> them in the way; <H1870> neither the pillar <H5982> of fire <H0784> by night, <H3915> to shew them light, <H0215> and the way <H1870> wherein they should go. <H3212>
20: Thou gavest <H5414> also thy good <H2896> spirit <H7307> to instruct <H7919> them, and withheldest <H4513> not thy manna <H4478> from their mouth, <H6310> and gavest <H5414> them water <H4325> for their thirst. <H6772>
21: Yea, forty <H0705> years <H8141> didst thou sustain <H3557> them in the wilderness, <H4057> [so that] they lacked <H2637> nothing; their clothes <H8008> waxed not old, <H1086> and their feet <H7272> swelled <H1216> not.
22: Moreover thou gavest <H5414> them kingdoms <H4467> and nations, <H5971> and didst divide <H2505> them into corners: <H6285> so they possessed <H3423> the land <H0776> of Sihon, <H5511> and the land <H0776> of the king <H4428> of Heshbon, <H2809> and the land <H0776> of Og <H5747> king <H4428> of Bashan. <H1316>
23: Their children <H1121> also multipliedst <H7235> thou as the stars <H3556> of heaven, <H8064> and broughtest <H0935> them into the land, <H0776> concerning which thou hadst promised <H0559> to their fathers, <H0001> that they should go in <H0935> to possess <H3423> [it].
24: So the children <H1121> went in <H0935> and possessed <H3423> the land, <H0776> and thou subduedst <H3665> before <H6440> them the inhabitants <H3427> of the land, <H0776> the Canaanites, <H3669> and gavest <H5414> them into their hands, <H3027> with their kings, <H4428> and the people <H5971> of the land, <H0776> that they might do <H6213> with them as they would. <H7522>
25: And they took <H3920> strong <H1219> cities, <H5892> and a fat <H8082> land, <H0127> and possessed <H3423> houses <H1004> full <H4392> of all goods, <H2898> wells <H0953> digged, <H2672> vineyards, <H3754> and oliveyards, <H2132> and fruit <H3978> trees <H6086> in abundance: <H7230> so they did eat, <H0398> and were filled, <H7646> and became fat, <H8080> and delighted <H5727> themselves in thy great <H1419> goodness. <H2898>
26: Nevertheless they were disobedient, <H4784> and rebelled <H4775> against thee, and cast <H7993> thy law <H8451> behind <H0310> their backs, <H1458> and slew <H2026> thy prophets <H5030> which testified <H5749> against them to turn <H7725> them to thee, and they wrought <H6213> great <H1419> provocations. <H5007>
27: Therefore thou deliveredst <H5414> them into the hand <H3027> of their enemies, <H6862> who vexed <H6887> them: and in the time <H6256> of their trouble, <H6869> when they cried <H6817> unto thee, thou heardest <H8085> [them] from heaven; <H8064> and according to thy manifold <H7227> mercies <H7356> thou gavest <H5414> them saviours, <H3467> who saved <H3467> them out of the hand <H3027> of their enemies. <H6862>
28: But after they had rest, <H5117> they did <H6213> evil <H7451> again <H7725> before <H6440> thee: therefore leftest <H5800> thou them in the hand <H3027> of their enemies, <H0341> so that they had the dominion <H7287> over them: yet when they returned, <H7725> and cried <H2199> unto thee, thou heardest <H8085> [them] from heaven; <H8064> and many <H7227> times <H6256> didst thou deliver <H5337> them according to thy mercies; <H7356>
29: And testifiedst <H5749> against them, that thou mightest bring them again <H7725> unto thy law: <H8451> yet they dealt proudly, <H2102> and hearkened <H8085> not unto thy commandments, <H4687> but sinned <H2398> against thy judgments, <H4941> (which if a man <H0120> do, <H6213> he shall live <H2421> in them;) and withdrew <H5414> <H5637> the shoulder, <H3802> and hardened <H7185> their neck, <H6203> and would not hear. <H8085>
30: Yet many <H7227> years <H8141> didst thou forbear <H4900> them, and testifiedst <H5749> against them by thy spirit <H7307> in <H3027> thy prophets: <H5030> yet would they not give ear: <H0238> therefore gavest <H5414> thou them into the hand <H3027> of the people <H5971> of the lands. <H0776>
31: Nevertheless for thy great <H7227> mercies' <H7356> sake thou didst <H6213> not utterly consume <H3617> them, nor forsake <H5800> them; for thou [art] a gracious <H2587> and merciful <H7349> God. <H0410>
32: Now therefore, our God, <H0430> the great, <H1419> the mighty, <H1368> and the terrible <H3372> God, <H0410> who keepest <H8104> covenant <H1285> and mercy, <H2617> let not all the trouble <H8513> seem little <H4591> before <H6440> thee, that hath come upon <H4672> us, on our kings, <H4428> on our princes, <H8269> and on our priests, <H3548> and on our prophets, <H5030> and on our fathers, <H0001> and on all thy people, <H5971> since the time <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Assyria <H0804> unto this day. <H3117>
33: Howbeit thou [art] just <H6662> in all that is brought <H0935> upon us; for thou hast done <H6213> right, <H0571> but we have done wickedly: <H7561>
34: Neither have our kings, <H4428> our princes, <H8269> our priests, <H3548> nor our fathers, <H0001> kept <H6213> thy law, <H8451> nor hearkened <H7181> unto thy commandments <H4687> and thy testimonies, <H5715> wherewith thou didst testify <H5749> against them.
35: For they have not served <H5647> thee in their kingdom, <H4438> and in thy great <H7227> goodness <H2898> that thou gavest <H5414> them, and in the large <H7342> and fat <H8082> land <H0776> which thou gavest <H5414> before <H6440> them, neither turned <H7725> they from their wicked <H7451> works. <H4611>
36: Behold, we [are] servants <H5650> this day, <H3117> and [for] the land <H0776> that thou gavest <H5414> unto our fathers <H0001> to eat <H0398> the fruit <H6529> thereof and the good <H2898> thereof, behold, we [are] servants <H5650> in it:
37: And it yieldeth much <H7235> increase <H8393> unto the kings <H4428> whom thou hast set <H5414> over us because of our sins: <H2403> also they have dominion <H4910> over our bodies, <H1472> and over our cattle, <H0929> at their pleasure, <H7522> and we [are] in great <H1419> distress. <H6869>
38: And because of all this we make <H3772> a sure <H0548> [covenant], and write <H3789> [it]; and our princes, <H8269> Levites, <H3881> [and] priests, <H3548> seal <H2856> [unto it].
