וַיְהִי׀ מִן-הַיּוֹם הַהוּא חֲצִי נְעָרַי עֹשִׂים בַּמְּלָאכָה וְחֶצְיָם מַֽחֲזִיקִים וְהָֽרְמָחִים הַמָּֽגִנִּים וְהַקְּשָׁתוֹת וְהַשִּׁרְיֹנִים וְהַשָּׂרִים אַֽחֲרֵי כָּל-בֵּית יְהוּדָֽה׃
And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
וּכְהִתְפַּלֵּל עֶזְרָא וּכְהִתְוַדֹּתוֹ בֹּכֶה וּמִתְנַפֵּל לִפְנֵי בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים נִקְבְּצוּ אֵלָיו מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל קָהָל רַב-מְאֹד אֲנָשִׁים וְנָשִׁים וִֽילָדִים כִּֽי-בָכוּ הָעָם הַרְבֵּה-בֶֽכֶה׃
Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
כִּי אֹזֶן שָׁמְעָה וַֽתְּאַשְּׁרֵנִי וְעַיִן רָאֲתָה וַתְּעִידֵֽנִי׃
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לַֽאֲבִיגַל בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחֵךְ הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה לִקְרָאתִֽי׃
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
וַיֹּאמֶר אַל-נָא תַּֽעֲזֹב אֹתָנוּ כִּי׀ עַל-כֵּן יָדַעְתָּ חֲנֹתֵנוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר וְהָיִיתָ לָּנוּ לְעֵינָֽיִם׃
And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
