וַיָּבֹאוּ כָל-הָעָם בֵּית-הַבַּעַל וַֽיִּתְּצֻהוּ וְאֶת-מִזְבְּחֹתָיו וְאֶת-צְלָמָיו שִׁבֵּרוּ וְאֵת מַתָּן כֹּהֵן הַבַּעַל הָֽרְגוּ לִפְנֵי הַֽמִּזְבְּחֽוֹת׃

וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים לָֽבְשָׁה אֶת-זְכַרְיָה בֶּן-יְהֽוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן וַֽיַּעֲמֹד מֵעַל לָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם כֹּה׀ אָמַר הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָמָה אַתֶּם עֹֽבְרִים אֶת-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה וְלֹא תַצְלִיחוּ כִּֽי-עֲזַבְתֶּם אֶת-יְהוָה וַיַּֽעֲזֹב אֶתְכֶֽם׃
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
וַיְהִי׀ לִתְקוּפַת הַשָּׁנָה עָלָה עָלָיו חֵיל אֲרָם וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ אֶת-כָּל-שָׂרֵי הָעָם מֵעָם וְכָל-שְׁלָלָם שִׁלְּחוּ לְמֶלֶךְ דַּרְמָֽשֶׂק׃

And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
וַיִּֽחַר-אַף יְהוָה בַּֽאֲמַצְיָהוּ וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו נָבִיא וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ לָמָּה דָרַשְׁתָּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הָעָם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הִצִּילוּ אֶת-עַמָּם מִיָּדֶֽךָ׃
Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
וַיִּקְחוּ כָּל-עַם יְהוּדָה אֶת-עֻזִּיָּהוּ וְהוּא בֶּן-שֵׁשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה וַיַּמְלִיכוּ אֹתוֹ תַּחַת אָבִיו אֲמַצְיָֽהוּ׃
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
וַיְהִי עֻזִּיָּהוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ מְצֹרָע׀ עַד-יוֹם מוֹתוֹ וַיֵּשֶׁב בֵּית (החפשות) הַֽחָפְשִׁית מְצֹרָע כִּי נִגְזַר מִבֵּית יְהוָה וְיוֹתָם בְּנוֹ עַל-בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ שׁוֹפֵט אֶת-עַם הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה עֻזִּיָּהוּ אָבִיו רַק לֹא-בָא אֶל-הֵיכַל יְהוָה וְעוֹד הָעָם מַשְׁחִיתִֽים׃
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
וַיִּשְׂמַח יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ וְכָל-הָעָם עַל הַֽהֵכִין הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָעָם כִּי בְּפִתְאֹם הָיָה הַדָּבָֽר׃
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
כִּי לֹא יָֽכְלוּ לַֽעֲשֹׂתוֹ בָּעֵת הַהִיא כִּי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים לֹֽא-הִתְקַדְּשׁוּ לְמַ דַּי וְהָעָם לֹא-נֶאֶסְפוּ לִירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם עַם-רָב לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-חַג הַמַּצּוֹת בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי קָהָל לָרֹב מְאֹֽד׃
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
כִּי מַרְבִּית הָעָם רַבַּת מֵֽאֶפְרַיִם וּמְנַשֶּׁה יִשָּׂשכָר וּזְבֻלוּן לֹא הִטֶּהָרוּ כִּֽי-אָכְלוּ אֶת-הַפֶּסַח בְּלֹא כַכָּתוּב כִּי הִתְפַּלֵּל יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עֲלֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר יְהוָה הַטּוֹב יְכַפֵּר בְּעַֽד׃
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
וַיִּשְׁמַע יְהוָה אֶל-יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ וַיִּרְפָּא אֶת-הָעָֽם׃
And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
וַיָּקֻמוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וַיְבָרֲכוּ אֶת-הָעָם וַיִּשָּׁמַע בְּקוֹלָם וַתָּבוֹא תְפִלָּתָם לִמְעוֹן קָדְשׁוֹ לַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָעָם לְיֽוֹשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם לָתֵת מְנָת הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְמַעַן יֶֽחֶזְקוּ בְּתוֹרַת יְהוָֽה׃
Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.
וַיָּבֹאוּ יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ וְהַשָּׂרִים וַיִּרְאוּ אֶת-הָֽעֲרֵמוֹת וַֽיְבָרֲכוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וְאֵת עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו עֲזַרְיָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הָרֹאשׁ לְבֵית צָדוֹק וַיֹּאמֶר מֵֽהָחֵל הַתְּרוּמָה לָבִיא בֵית-יְהוָה אָכוֹל וְשָׂבוֹעַ וְהוֹתֵר עַד-לָרוֹב כִּי יְהוָה בֵּרַךְ אֶת-עַמּוֹ וְהַנּוֹתָר אֶת-הֶֽהָמוֹן הַזֶּֽה׃
And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
וַיִּקָּֽבְצוּ עַם-רָב וַֽיִּסְתְּמוּ אֶת-כָּל-הַמַּעְיָנוֹת וְאֶת-הַנַּחַל הַשּׁוֹטֵף בְּתוֹךְ-הָאָרֶץ לֵאמֹר לָמָּה יָבוֹאוּ מַלְכֵי אַשּׁוּר וּמָֽצְאוּ מַיִם רַבִּֽים׃
So there was gathered together, much people who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?
וַיִּתֵּן שָׂרֵי מִלְחָמוֹת עַל-הָעָם וַיִּקְבְּצֵם אֵלָיו אֶל-רְחוֹב שַׁעַר הָעִיר וַיְדַבֵּר עַל-לְבָבָם לֵאמֹֽר׃
And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,
עִמּוֹ זְרוֹעַ בָּשָׂר וְעִמָּנוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְעָזְרֵנוּ וּלְהִלָּחֵם מִלְחֲמֹתֵנוּ וַיִּסָּֽמְכוּ הָעָם עַל-דִּבְרֵי יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָֽה׃
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
הֲלֹא תֵֽדְעוּ מֶה עָשִׂיתִי אֲנִי וַֽאֲבוֹתַי לְכֹל עַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת הֲיָכוֹל יָֽכְלוּ אֱלֹהֵי גּוֹיֵ הָֽאֲרָצוֹת לְהַצִּיל אֶת-אַרְצָם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?
מִי בְּֽכָל-אֱלֹהֵי הַגּוֹיִם הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר הֶֽחֱרִימוּ אֲבוֹתַי אֲשֶׁר יָכוֹל לְהַצִּיל אֶת-עַמּוֹ מִיָּדִי כִּי יוּכַל אֱלֹהֵיכֶם לְהַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?
וְעַתָּה אַל-יַשִּׁיא אֶתְכֶם חִזְקִיָּהוּ וְאַל-יַסִּית אֶתְכֶם כָּזֹאת וְאַל-תַּֽאֲמִינוּ לוֹ כִּי-לֹא יוּכַל כָּל-אֱלוֹהַ כָּל-גּוֹי וּמַמְלָכָה לְהַצִּיל עַמּוֹ מִיָּדִי וּמִיַּד אֲבוֹתָי אַף כִּי אֱֽלֹהֵיכֶם לֹֽא-יַצִּילוּ אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?
וּסְפָרִים כָּתַב לְחָרֵף לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֵֽאמֹר עָלָיו לֵאמֹר כֵּֽאלֹהֵי גּוֹיֵי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הִצִּילוּ עַמָּם מִיָּדִי כֵּן לֹֽא-יַצִּיל אֱלֹהֵי יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַמּוֹ מִיָּדִֽי׃
He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.
וַיִּקְרְאוּ בְקוֹל-גָּדוֹל יְהוּדִית עַל-עַם יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר עַל-הַֽחוֹמָה לְיָֽרְאָם וּֽלְבַהֲלָם לְמַעַן יִלְכְּדוּ אֶת-הָעִֽיר׃
Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
וַֽיְדַבְּרוּ אֶל-אֱלֹהֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם כְּעַל אֱלֹהֵי עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ מַֽעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי הָֽאָדָֽם׃
And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.
וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל-מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶל-עַמּוֹ וְלֹא הִקְשִֽׁיבוּ׃
And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
אֲבָל עוֹד הָעָם זֹֽבְחִים בַּבָּמוֹת רַק לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶֽם׃
Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.
וַיַּכּוּ עַם-הָאָרֶץ אֵת כָּל-הַקֹּֽשְׁרִים עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אָמוֹן וַיַּמְלִיכוּ עַם-הָאָרֶץ אֶת-יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ בְנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
וַיַּעַל הַמֶּלֶךְ בֵּית-יְהוָה וְכָל-אִישׁ יְהוּדָה וְיֹֽשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הָעָם מִגָּדוֹל וְעַד-קָטָן וַיִּקְרָא בְאָזְנֵיהֶם אֶת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַנִּמְצָא בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר לַלְוִיִּם (המבונים) הַמְּבִינִים לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַקְּדוֹשִׁים לַֽיהוָה תְּנוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן-הַקֹּדֶשׁ בַּבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן-דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵין-לָכֶם מַשָּׂא בַּכָּתֵף עַתָּה עִבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְאֵת עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,
וְעִמְדוּ בַקֹּדֶשׁ לִפְלוּגֹּת בֵּית הָֽאָבוֹת לַֽאֲחֵיכֶם בְּנֵי הָעָם וַֽחֲלֻקַּת בֵּֽית-אָב לַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
וַיָּרֶם יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ לִבְנֵי הָעָם צֹאן כְּבָשִׂים וּבְנֵֽי-עִזִּים הַכֹּל לַפְּסָחִים לְכָל-הַנִּמְצָא לְמִסְפַּר שְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף וּבָקָר שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים אֵלֶּה מֵֽרְכוּשׁ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.
וְשָׂרָיו לִנְדָבָה לָעָם לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם הֵרִימוּ חִלְקִיָּה וּזְכַרְיָהוּ וִֽיחִיאֵל נְגִידֵי בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לַכֹּֽהֲנִים נָֽתְנוּ לַפְּסָחִים אַלְפַּיִם וְשֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת וּבָקָר שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
וַיָּסִירוּ הָֽעֹלָה לְתִתָּם לְמִפְלַגּוֹת לְבֵית-אָבוֹת לִבְנֵי הָעָם לְהַקְרִיב לַֽיהוָה כַּכָּתוּב בְּסֵפֶר מֹשֶׁה וְכֵן לַבָּקָֽר׃
And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
וַֽיְבַשְּׁלוּ הַפֶּסַח בָּאֵשׁ כַּמִּשְׁפָּט וְהַקֳּדָשִׁים בִּשְּׁלוּ בַּסִּירוֹת וּבַדְּוָדִים וּבַצֵּלָחוֹת וַיָּרִיצוּ לְכָל-בְּנֵי הָעָֽם׃
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
וַיִּקְחוּ עַם-הָאָרֶץ אֶת-יְהֽוֹאָחָז בֶּן-יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ וַיַּמְלִיכֻהוּ תַֽחַת-אָבִיו בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
גַּם כָּל-שָׂרֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהָעָם הִרְבּוּ לִמְעָול-מַעַל כְּכֹל תֹּֽעֲבוֹת הַגּוֹיִם וַֽיְטַמְּאוּ אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הִקְדִּישׁ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם עֲלֵיהֶם בְּיַד מַלְאָכָיו הַשְׁכֵּם וְשָׁלוֹחַ כִּֽי-חָמַל עַל-עַמּוֹ וְעַל-מְעוֹנֽוֹ׃
And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
וַיִּֽהְיוּ מַלְעִבִים בְּמַלְאֲכֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּבוֹזִים דְּבָרָיו וּמִֽתַּעְתְּעִים בִּנְבִאָיו עַד עֲלוֹת חֲמַת-יְהוָה בְּעַמּוֹ עַד-לְאֵין מַרְפֵּֽא׃
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
כּֽה-אָמַר כּוֹרֶשׁ׀ מֶלֶךְ פָּרַס כָּל-מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ נָתַן לִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהֽוּא-פָקַד עָלַי לִבְנֽוֹת-לוֹ בַיִת בִּירוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בִּֽיהוּדָה מִֽי-בָכֶם מִכָּל-עַמּוֹ יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו עִמּוֹ וְיָֽעַל׃
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
מִֽי-בָכֶם מִכָּל-עַמּוֹ יְהִי אֱלֹהָיו עִמּוֹ וְיַעַל לִירֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בִּֽיהוּדָה וְיִבֶן אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
אֲשֶׁר-בָּאוּ עִם-זְרֻבָּבֶל יֵשׁוּעַ נְחֶמְיָה שְׂרָיָה רְֽעֵלָיָה מָרְדֳּכַי בִּלְשָׁן מִסְפָּר בִּגְוַי רְחוּם בַּֽעֲנָה מִסְפַּר אַנְשֵׁי עַם יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וּֽמִן-הָעָם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַנְּתִינִים בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
וַיִּגַּע הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בֶּֽעָרִים וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ הָעָם כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד אֶל-יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
וַיָּכִינוּ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ עַל-מְכוֹנֹתָיו כִּי בְּאֵימָה עֲלֵיהֶם מֵֽעַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת (ויעל) וַיַּעֲלוּ עָלָיו עֹלוֹת לַֽיהוָה עֹלוֹת לַבֹּקֶר וְלָעָֽרֶב׃
And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
וַֽיַּעֲנוּ בְּהַלֵּל וּבְהוֹדֹת לַֽיהוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּֽי-לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכָל-הָעָם הֵרִיעוּ תְרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה בְהַלֵּל לַֽיהוָה עַל הוּסַד בֵּית-יְהוָֽה׃
And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation laid. of the house of the LORD was
וְאֵין הָעָם מַכִּירִים קוֹל תְּרוּעַת הַשִּׂמְחָה לְקוֹל בְּכִי הָעָם כִּי הָעָם מְרִיעִים תְּרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה וְהַקּוֹל נִשְׁמַע עַד-לְמֵֽרָחֽוֹק׃
So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
וַֽיְהִי עַם-הָאָרֶץ מְרַפִּים יְדֵי עַם-יְהוּדָה (ומבלהים) וּֽמְבַהֲלִים אוֹתָם לִבְנֽוֹת׃
Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
וָֽאֶקְבְּצֵם אֶל-הַנָּהָר הַבָּא אֶֽל-אַהֲוָא וַנַּֽחֲנֶה שָׁם יָמִים שְׁלֹשָׁה וָֽאָבִינָה בָעָם וּבַכֹּהֲנִים וּמִבְּנֵי לֵוִי לֹֽא-מָצָאתִי שָֽׁם׃
And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
וַֽיִּתְּנוּ׀ אֶת-דָּתֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ לַֽאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וּפַֽחֲווֹת עֵבֶר הַנָּהָר וְנִשְּׂאוּ אֶת-הָעָם וְאֶת-בֵּֽית-הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
וּכְכַלּוֹת אֵלֶּה נִגְּשׁוּ אֵלַי הַשָּׂרִים לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-נִבְדְּלוּ הָעָם יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם מֵֽעַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת כְּתוֹעֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם לַכְּנַֽעֲנִי הַֽחִתִּי הַפְּרִזִּי הַיְבוּסִי הָֽעַמֹּנִי הַמֹּאָבִי הַמִּצְרִי וְהָֽאֱמֹרִֽי׃
Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
כִּֽי-נָשְׂאוּ מִבְּנֹֽתֵיהֶם לָהֶם וְלִבְנֵיהֶם וְהִתְעָֽרְבוּ זֶרַע הַקֹּדֶשׁ בְּעַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת וְיַד הַשָּׂרִים וְהַסְּגָנִים הָיְתָה בַּמַּעַל הַזֶּה רִֽאשׁוֹנָֽה׃
For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.
אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתָ בְּיַד עֲבָדֶיךָ הַנְּבִיאִים לֵאמֹר הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם בָּאִים לְרִשְׁתָּהּ אֶרֶץ נִדָּה הִיא בְּנִדַּת עַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת בְּתוֹעֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר מִלְאוּהָ מִפֶּה אֶל-פֶּה בְּטֻמְאָתָֽם׃
Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
הֲנָשׁוּב לְהָפֵר מִצְוֹתֶיךָ וּלְהִתְחַתֵּן בְּעַמֵּי הַתֹּֽעֵבוֹת הָאֵלֶּה הֲלוֹא תֶֽאֱנַף-בָּנוּ עַד-כַּלֵּה לְאֵין שְׁאֵרִית וּפְלֵיטָֽה׃
Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
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.
וַיַּעַן שְׁכַנְיָה בֶן-יְחִיאֵל מִבְּנֵי (עולם) עֵילָם וַיֹּאמֶר לְעֶזְרָא אֲנַחְנוּ מָעַלְנוּ בֵֽאלֹהֵינוּ וַנֹּשֶׁב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת מֵֽעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְעַתָּה יֵשׁ-מִקְוֶה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַל-זֹֽאת׃
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
וַיִּקָּֽבְצוּ כָל-אַנְשֵֽׁי-יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן׀ יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם לִשְׁלֹשֶׁת הַיָּמִים הוּא חֹדֶשׁ הַתְּשִׁיעִי בְּעֶשְׂרִים בַּחֹדֶשׁ וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ כָל-הָעָם בִּרְחוֹב בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים מַרְעִידִים עַל-הַדָּבָר וּמֵֽהַגְּשָׁמִֽים׃
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
וְעַתָּה תְּנוּ תוֹדָה לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-אֲבֹתֵיכֶם וַֽעֲשׂוּ רְצוֹנוֹ וְהִבָּֽדְלוּ מֵֽעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וּמִן-הַנָּשִׁים הַנָּכְרִיּֽוֹת׃
Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
אֲבָל הָעָם רָב וְהָעֵת גְּשָׁמִים וְאֵין כֹּחַ לַֽעֲמוֹד בַּחוּץ וְהַמְּלָאכָה לֹֽא-לְיוֹם אֶחָד וְלֹא לִשְׁנַיִם כִּֽי-הִרְבִּינוּ לִפְשֹׁעַ בַּדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
זְכָר-נָא אֶת-הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתָ אֶת-מֹשֶׁה עַבְדְּךָ לֵאמֹר אַתֶּם תִּמְעָלוּ אֲנִי אָפִיץ אֶתְכֶם בָּֽעַמִּֽים׃
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
וְהֵם עֲבָדֶיךָ וְעַמֶּךָ אֲשֶׁר פָּדִיתָ בְּכֹֽחֲךָ הַגָּדוֹל וּבְיָֽדְךָ הַֽחֲזָקָֽה׃
Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
וַנִּבְנֶה אֶת-הַחוֹמָה וַתִּקָּשֵׁר כָּל-הַֽחוֹמָה עַד-חֶצְיָהּ וַיְהִי לֵב לָעָם לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת׃
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
וָֽאַעֲמִיד מִֽתַּחְתִּיּוֹת לַמָּקוֹם מֵאַֽחֲרֵי לַֽחוֹמָה (בצחחיים) בַּצְּחִיחִים וָֽאַעֲמִיד אֶת-הָעָם לְמִשְׁפָּחוֹת עִם-חַרְבֹֽתֵיהֶם רָמְחֵיהֶם וְקַשְּׁתֹֽתֵיהֶֽם׃
Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
וָאֵרֶא וָֽאָקוּם וָֽאֹמַר אֶל-הַֽחֹרִים וְאֶל-הַסְּגָנִים וְאֶל-יֶתֶר הָעָם אַל-תִּֽירְאוּ מִפְּנֵיהֶם אֶת-אֲדֹנָי הַגָּדוֹל וְהַנּוֹרָא זְכֹרוּ וְהִֽלָּחֲמוּ עַל-אֲחֵיכֶם בְּנֵיכֶם וּבְנֹֽתֵיכֶם נְשֵׁיכֶם וּבָֽתֵּיכֶֽם׃
And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
וָֽאֹמַר אֶל-הַֽחֹרִים וְאֶל-הַסְּגָנִים וְאֶל-יֶתֶר הָעָם הַמְּלָאכָה הַרְבֵּה וּרְחָבָה וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ נִפְרָדִים עַל-הַחוֹמָה רְחוֹקִים אִישׁ מֵֽאָחִֽיו׃
And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
גַּם בָּעֵת הַהִיא אָמַרְתִּי לָעָם אִישׁ וְנַֽעֲרוֹ יָלִינוּ בְּתוֹךְ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְהָֽיוּ-לָנוּ הַלַּיְלָה מִשְׁמָר וְהַיּוֹם מְלָאכָֽה׃
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
וַתְּהִי צַֽעֲקַת הָעָם וּנְשֵׁיהֶם גְּדוֹלָה אֶל-אֲחֵיהֶם הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃
And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
גַּם-חָצְנִי נָעַרְתִּי וָֽאֹמְרָה כָּכָה יְנַעֵר הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת-כָּל-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יָקִים אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה מִבֵּיתוֹ וּמִיגִיעוֹ וְכָכָה יִֽהְיֶה נָעוּר וָרֵק וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל אָמֵן וַֽיְהַלְלוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וַיַּעַשׂ הָעָם כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
וְהַפַּחוֹת הָרִֽאשֹׁנִים אֲשֶׁר-לְפָנַי הִכְבִּידוּ עַל-הָעָם וַיִּקְחוּ מֵהֶם בְּלֶחֶם וָיַיִן אַחַר כֶּֽסֶף-שְׁקָלִים אַרְבָּעִים גַּם נַֽעֲרֵיהֶם שָֽׁלְטוּ עַל-הָעָם וַֽאֲנִי לֹֽא-עָשִׂיתִי כֵן מִפְּנֵי יִרְאַת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
וַֽאֲשֶׁר הָיָה נַֽעֲשֶׂה לְיוֹם אֶחָד שׁוֹר אֶחָד צֹאן שֵׁשׁ-בְּרֻרוֹת וְצִפֳּרִים נַֽעֲשׂוּ-לִי וּבֵין עֲשֶׂרֶת יָמִים בְּכָל-יַיִן לְהַרְבֵּה וְעִם-זֶה לֶחֶם הַפֶּחָה לֹא בִקַּשְׁתִּי כִּֽי-כָֽבְדָה הָֽעֲבֹדָה עַל-הָעָם הַזֶּֽה׃
Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
זָכְרָה-לִּי אֱלֹהַי לְטוֹבָה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-עָשִׂיתִי עַל-הָעָם הַזֶּֽה׃
Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
וְהָעִיר רַֽחֲבַת יָדַיִם וּגְדוֹלָה וְהָעָם מְעַט בְּתוֹכָהּ וְאֵין בָּתִּים בְּנוּיִֽם׃
Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
וַיִּתֵּן אֱלֹהַי אֶל-לִבִּי וָֽאֶקְבְּצָה אֶת-הַֽחֹרִים וְאֶת-הַסְּגָנִים וְאֶת-הָעָם לְהִתְיַחֵשׂ וָֽאֶמְצָא סֵפֶר הַיַּחַשׂ הָֽעוֹלִים בָּרִֽאשׁוֹנָה וָֽאֶמְצָא כָּתוּב בּֽוֹ׃
And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,
הַבָּאִים עִם-זְרֻבָּבֶל יֵשׁוּעַ נְחֶמְיָה עֲזַרְיָה רַֽעַמְיָה נַֽחֲמָנִי מָרְדֳּכַי בִּלְשָׁן מִסְפֶּרֶת בִּגְוַי נְחוּם בַּֽעֲנָה מִסְפַּר אַנְשֵׁי עַם יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;
וַֽאֲשֶׁר נָֽתְנוּ שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם זָהָב דַּרְכְּמוֹנִים שְׁתֵּי רִבּוֹא וְכֶסֶף מָנִים אַלְפָּיִם וְכָתְנֹת כֹּֽהֲנִים שִׁשִּׁים וְשִׁבְעָֽה׃
And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore and seven priests' garments.
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וּמִן-הָעָם וְהַנְּתִינִים וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וַיִּגַּע הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ כָל-הָעָם כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד אֶל-הָרְחוֹב אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי שַֽׁעַר-הַמָּיִם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְעֶזְרָא הַסֹּפֵר לְהָבִיא אֶת-סֵפֶר תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה אֲשֶׁר-צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
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.
וַיִּקְרָא-בוֹ לִפְנֵי הָֽרְחוֹב אֲשֶׁר׀ לִפְנֵי שַֽׁעַר-הַמַּיִם מִן-הָאוֹר עַד-מַֽחֲצִית הַיּוֹם נֶגֶד הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וְהַנָּשִׁים וְהַמְּבִינִים וְאָזְנֵי כָל-הָעָם אֶל-סֵפֶר הַתּוֹרָֽה׃
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.
וַיִּפְתַּח עֶזְרָא הַסֵּפֶר לְעֵינֵי כָל-הָעָם כִּֽי-מֵעַל כָּל-הָעָם הָיָה וּכְפִתְחוֹ עָֽמְדוּ כָל-הָעָֽם׃
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:
וַיְבָרֶךְ עֶזְרָא אֶת-יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַגָּדוֹל וַיַּֽעֲנוּ כָל-הָעָם אָמֵן׀ אָמֵן בְּמֹעַל יְדֵיהֶם וַיִּקְּדוּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוֻּ לַֽיהוָה אַפַּיִם אָֽרְצָה׃
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.
וְיֵשׁוּעַ וּבָנִי וְשֵׁרֵבְיָה׀ יָמִין עַקּוּב שַׁבְּתַי׀ הֽוֹדִיָּה מַֽעֲשֵׂיָה קְלִיטָא עֲזַרְיָה יֽוֹזָבָד חָנָן פְּלָאיָה וְהַלְוִיִּם מְבִינִים אֶת-הָעָם לַתּוֹרָה וְהָעָם עַל-עָמְדָֽם׃
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.
וַיֹּאמֶר נְחֶמְיָה הוּא הַתִּרְשָׁתָא וְעֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן׀ הַסֹּפֵר וְהַלְוִיִּם הַמְּבִינִים אֶת-הָעָם לְכָל-הָעָם הַיּוֹם קָדֹֽשׁ-הוּא לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אַל-תִּֽתְאַבְּלוּ וְאַל-תִּבְכּוּ כִּי בוֹכִים כָּל-הָעָם כְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָֽה׃
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.
וְהַלְוִיִּם מַחְשִׁים לְכָל-הָעָם לֵאמֹר הַסּוּ כִּי הַיּוֹם קָדֹשׁ וְאַל-תֵּֽעָצֵֽבוּ׃
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ כָל-הָעָם לֶֽאֱכֹל וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וּלְשַׁלַּח מָנוֹת וְלַֽעֲשׂוֹת שִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה כִּי הֵבִינוּ בַּדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר הוֹדִיעוּ לָהֶֽם׃
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.
וּבַיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִי נֶֽאֶסְפוּ רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְכָל-הָעָם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם אֶל-עֶזְרָא הַסֹּפֵר וּלְהַשְׂכִּיל אֶל-דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָֽה׃
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.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ הָעָם וַיָּבִיאוּ וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ לָהֶם סֻכּוֹת אִישׁ עַל-גַּגּוֹ וּבְחַצְרֹתֵיהֶם וּבְחַצְרוֹת בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּבִרְחוֹב שַׁעַר הַמַּיִם וּבִרְחוֹב שַׁעַר אֶפְרָֽיִם׃
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.
וַתִּתֵּן אֹתֹת וּמֹֽפְתִים בְּפַרְעֹה וּבְכָל-עֲבָדָיו וּבְכָל-עַם אַרְצוֹ כִּי יָדַעְתָּ כִּי הֵזִידוּ עֲלֵיהֶם וַתַּֽעַשׂ-לְךָ שֵׁם כְּהַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
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.
וַתִּתֵּן לָהֶם מַמְלָכוֹת וַֽעֲמָמִים וַֽתַּחְלְקֵם לְפֵאָה וַיִּֽירְשׁוּ אֶת-אֶרֶץ סִיחוֹן וְאֶת-אֶרֶץ מֶלֶךְ חֶשְׁבּוֹן וְאֶת-אֶרֶץ עוֹג מֶֽלֶךְ-הַבָּשָֽׁן׃
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.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַבָּנִים וַיִּֽירְשׁוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וַתַּכְנַע לִפְנֵיהֶם אֶת-יֹֽשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ הַכְּנַעֲנִים וַֽתִּתְּנֵם בְּיָדָם וְאֶת-מַלְכֵיהֶם וְאֶת-עַֽמְמֵי הָאָרֶץ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת בָּהֶם כִּרְצוֹנָֽם׃
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.
וַתִּמְשֹׁךְ עֲלֵיהֶם שָׁנִים רַבּוֹת וַתָּעַד בָּם בְּרֽוּחֲךָ בְּיַד-נְבִיאֶיךָ וְלֹא הֶֽאֱזִינוּ וַֽתִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד עַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצֹֽת׃
Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
וְעַתָּה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הָאֵל הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר וְהַנּוֹרָא שׁוֹמֵר הַבְּרִית וְהַחֶסֶד אַל-יִמְעַט לְפָנֶיךָ אֵת כָּל-הַתְּלָאָה אֲֽשֶׁר-מְצָאַתְנוּ לִמְלָכֵינוּ לְשָׂרֵינוּ וּלְכֹֽהֲנֵינוּ וְלִנְבִיאֵנוּ וְלַֽאֲבֹתֵינוּ וּלְכָל-עַמֶּךָ מִימֵי מַלְכֵי אַשּׁוּר עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
רָאשֵׁי הָעָם פַּרְעֹשׁ פַּחַת מוֹאָב עֵילָם זַתּוּא בָּנִֽי׃
The chief of the people; Parosh, Pahath-moab, Elam, Zatthu, Bani,
וּשְׁאָר הָעָם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם הַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים הַנְּתִינִים וְֽכָל-הַנִּבְדָּל מֵֽעַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת אֶל-תּוֹרַת הָֽאֱלֹהִים נְשֵׁיהֶם בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנֹֽתֵיהֶם כֹּל יוֹדֵעַ מֵבִֽין׃
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
וַֽאֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-נִתֵּן בְּנֹתֵינוּ לְעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְאֶת-בְּנֹתֵיהֶם לֹא נִקַּח לְבָנֵֽינוּ׃
And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
