genealogy of them which came up at the first,
and found written therein,

So the priests,
and the Levites,
and the
porters,
and the singers,
and some of the people,
and the

and all Israel, dwelt in their cities;
and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate;
and they spake unto
Ezra the
scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
At that time all the people gathered together in the square before the Water Gate,
and they asked
Ezra the
scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel.
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men
and women,
and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
On the first day of the seventh month,
Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men
and women
and all who could
listen and understand.
And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until
midday, before the men
and the women,
and those that could understand;
and the ears of all the people were
attentive unto the book of the law.
So
Ezra read it
aloud from
daybreak until
noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate, in front of the men
and women
and those who could understand.
And all the people
listened attentively to the Book of the Law.
And Ezra the
scribe stood upon a
pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose;
and beside him stood Mattithiah,
and Shema,
and Anaiah,
and Urijah,
and Hilkiah,
and Maaseiah, on his right hand;
and on his left hand, Pedaiah,
and Mishael,
and Malchiah,
and Hashum,
and Hashbadana,
Zechariah,
and Meshullam.
Ezra the
scribe stood on a high wooden platform built for this occasion. At his right side stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah,
and Maaseiah,
and at his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum,
Hash-baddanah,
Zechariah,
and Meshullam.
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;)
and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
Ezra opened the book in full view of all the people, since he was standing above them all,
and as he opened it, all the people stood up.
And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God.
And all the people answered,
Amen,
Amen, with lifting up their hands:
and they bowed their heads,
and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
Then
Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God,
and with their hands
uplifted, all the people said, “
Amen,
Amen!” Then they bowed down
and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
Also Jeshua,
and Bani,
and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita,
Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah,
and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law:
and the people stood in their place.
The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita,
Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan,
and Pelaiah—
instructed the people in the Law as they stood in their places.
So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
So they read from the Book of the Law of God, explaining it and giving insight, so that the people could understand what was being read.
And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha,
and Ezra the priest the
scribe,
and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God;
mourn not, nor
weep. For all the people
wept, when they heard the words of the law.
Nehemiah the governor,
Ezra the priest
and scribe,
and the Levites who were
instructing the people said to all of them, “This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not
mourn or
weep.” For all the people were
weeping as they heard the words of the Law.
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat,
and drink the sweet,
and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye
sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Then
Nehemiah told them, “Go
and eat what is rich, drink what is sweet,
and send out portions to those who have nothing prepared, since
today is holy to our Lord. Do not
grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye
grieved.
And the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be still, since
today is holy. Do not
grieve.”
And all the people went their way to eat,
and to drink,
and to send portions,
and to make great
mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
Then all the people began to eat
and drink, to send out portions,
and to
rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that had been made known to them.
And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests,
and the Levites, unto
Ezra the
scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
On the second day of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests
and Levites, gathered around
Ezra the
scribe to study the words of the Law.
And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
And they found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month.
And that they should
publish and proclaim in all their cities,
and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount,
and fetch olive branches,
and pine branches,
and myrtle branches,
and palm branches,
and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
So they proclaimed this message
and spread it throughout their towns
and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hill country
and bring back branches of olive, wild olive,
myrtle, palm,
and other
leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”
So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
And the people went out, brought back branches, and made booths on their own rooftops, in their courtyards, in the court of the house of God, and in the squares by the Water Gate and by the Gate of Ephraim.
And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths,
and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of
Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so.
And there was very great
gladness.
The whole assembly who had returned from exile made booths
and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of
Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated like this.
And there was great
rejoicing.
Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
Day after day, from the first day to the last,
Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. The Israelites kept the feast for seven days,
and on the eighth day they held an assembly, according to the
ordinance.
Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
On the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the Israelites gathered together, fasting
and wearing
sackcloth, with dust on their heads.
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers,
and stood
and confessed their sins,
and the
iniquities of their fathers.
Those of
Israelite descent separated themselves from all the foreigners,
and they stood
and confessed their sins
and the
iniquities of their fathers.
And they stood up in their place,
and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day;
and another fourth part they
confessed,
and worshipped the LORD their God.
While they stood in their places, they read from the Book of the Law of the LORD their God for a quarter of the day, and they spent another quarter of the day in confession and worship of the LORD their God.
Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua,
and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani,
and Chenani,
and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.
And the Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani,
and Chenani—stood on the raised platform
and cried out in a loud voice to the LORD their God.
Then the Levites, Jeshua,
and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah,
and Pethahiah, said, Stand up
and bless the LORD your God for ever
and ever:
and blessed be thy glorious name, which is
exalted above all blessing
and praise.
Then the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah,
and Pethahiah—said, “Stand up
and bless the LORD your God from
everlasting to
everlasting: Blessed be Your glorious name,
and may it be
exalted above all blessing
and praise.
Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
You alone are the LORD. You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all things, and the host of heaven worships You.
Thou art the LORD the God, who
didst choose
Abram,
and broughtest him forth out of
Ur of the Chaldees,
and gavest him the name of Abraham;
You are the LORD, the God who chose
Abram, who brought him out of
Ur of the Chaldeans
and gave him the name Abraham.
And foundest his heart faithful before thee,
and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the
Canaanites, the
Hittites, the
Amorites,
and the
Perizzites,
and the Jebusites,
and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed,
and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
You found his heart faithful before You,
and made a covenant with him to give the land of the
Canaanites and Hittites, of the
Amorites and Perizzites, of the Jebusites
and Girgashites— to give it to his descendants. You have kept Your promise, because You are righteous.
And didst see the
affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
and heardest their cry by the Red sea;
You saw the
affliction of our fathers in Egypt; You heard their cry at the Red Sea.
And shewedst signs
and wonders upon Pharaoh,
and on all his servants,
and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So
didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
You performed signs
and wonders against Pharaoh, all his officials,
and all the people of his land, for You knew they had acted with
arrogance against our fathers. You made a name for
Yourself that endures to this day.
And thou
didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land;
and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
You divided the sea before them,
and they crossed through it on dry ground. You
hurled their pursuers into the depths like a stone into
raging waters.
Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a
cloudy pillar;
and in the night by a
pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
You led them with a
pillar of cloud by day
and a
pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they should travel.
Thou camest down also upon mount
Sinai,
and spakest with them from heaven,
and gavest them right judgments,
and true laws, good statutes
and commandments:
You came down on Mount
Sinai and spoke with them from heaven. You gave them just ordinances, true laws,
and good statutes
and commandments.
And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
You revealed to them Your holy Sabbath and gave them commandments and statutes and laws through Your servant Moses.
And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger,
and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their
thirst,
and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst
sworn to give them.
In their hunger You gave them bread from heaven; in their
thirst You brought them water from the rock. You told them to go in
and possess the land which You had
sworn to give them.
But they
and our fathers dealt proudly,
and hardened their necks,
and hearkened not to thy commandments,
But they
and our fathers became
arrogant and stiff-necked
and did not obey Your commandments.
And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou
didst among them; but
hardened their necks,
and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their
bondage: but thou art a God ready to
pardon,
gracious and merciful, slow to anger,
and of great kindness,
and forsookest them not.
They refused to
listen and failed to remember the wonders You performed among them. They
stiffened their necks
and appointed a leader to return them to their
bondage in Egypt. But You are a
forgiving God,
gracious and compassionate, slow to anger
and rich in loving devotion,
and You did not
forsake them.
Yea, when they had made them a
molten calf,
and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt,
and had wrought great provocations;
Even when they cast for themselves an image of a
calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’
and when they committed terrible blasphemies,
Yet thou in thy
manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the
pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the
pillar of fire by night, to
shew them light,
and the way wherein they should go.
You in Your great
compassion did not
forsake them in the wilderness. By day the
pillar of cloud never turned away from guiding them on their path;
and by the night the
pillar of fire
illuminated the way they should go.
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to
instruct them,
and withheldest not thy
manna from their mouth,
and gavest them water for their
thirst.
You gave Your good Spirit to
instruct them. You did not
withhold Your
manna from their mouths,
and You gave them water for their
thirst.
Yea, forty years
didst thou
sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old,
and their feet swelled not.
For forty years You sustained them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell.
Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms
and nations,
and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon,
and the land of the king of
Heshbon,
and the land of
Og king of
Bashan.
You gave them kingdoms
and peoples
and allotted to them every corner of the land. So they took the land of Sihon king of
Heshbon and of
Og king of
Bashan.
Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
You multiplied their descendants like the stars of heaven and brought them to the land You had told their fathers to enter and possess.
So the children went in
and possessed the land,
and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the
Canaanites,
and gavest them into their hands, with their kings,
and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
So their descendants went in
and possessed the land; You subdued before them the
Canaanites dwelling in the land. You delivered into their hands the kings
and peoples of the land, to do with them as they wished.
And they took strong cities,
and a fat land,
and possessed houses full of all goods, wells
digged, vineyards,
and oliveyards,
and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat,
and were filled,
and became fat,
and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
They captured fortified cities
and fertile land
and took houses full of all goods, wells already
dug, vineyards, olive groves,
and fruit trees in abundance. So they
ate and were filled; they grew fat
and delighted in Your great goodness.
