And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:

The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
וַיִּבֶן אֶת-קִירוֹת הַבַּיִת מִבַּיְתָה בְּצַלְעוֹת אֲרָזִים מִקַּרְקַע הַבַּיִת עַד-קִירוֹת הַסִּפֻּן צִפָּה עֵץ מִבָּיִת וַיְצַף אֶת-קַרְקַע הַבַּיִת בְּצַלְעוֹת בְּרוֹשִֽׁים׃

And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
וַיִּתֵּן אֶת-הַכְּרוּבִים בְּתוֹךְ׀ הַבַּיִת הַפְּנִימִי וַֽיִּפְרְשׂוּ אֶת-כַּנְפֵי הַכְּרֻבִים וַתִּגַּע כְּנַף-הָֽאֶחָד בַּקִּיר וּכְנַף הַכְּרוּב הַשֵּׁנִי נֹגַעַת בַּקִּיר הַשֵּׁנִי וְכַנְפֵיהֶם אֶל-תּוֹךְ הַבַּיִת נֹֽגְעֹת כָּנָף אֶל-כָּנָֽף׃
And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
וְאֵת כָּל-קִירוֹת הַבַּיִת מֵסַב׀ קָלַע פִּתּוּחֵי מִקְלְעוֹת כְּרוּבִים וְתִֽמֹרֹת וּפְטוּרֵי צִצִּים מִלִּפְנִים וְלַֽחִיצֽוֹן׃
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
וְזֶה דְבַר-הַמַּס אֲשֶֽׁר-הֶעֱלָה׀ הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה לִבְנוֹת אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֶת-בֵּיתוֹ וְאֶת-הַמִּלּוֹא וְאֵת חוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְאֶת-חָצֹר וְאֶת-מְגִדּוֹ וְאֶת-גָּֽזֶר׃

לָכֵן הִנְנִי מֵבִיא רָעָה אֶל-בֵּית יָֽרָבְעָם וְהִכְרַתִּי לְיָֽרָבְעָם מַשְׁתִּין בְּקִיר עָצוּר וְעָזוּב בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וּבִֽעַרְתִּי אַֽחֲרֵי בֵית-יָֽרָבְעָם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יְבַעֵר הַגָּלָל עַד-תֻּמּֽוֹ׃

וַיְהִי בְמָלְכוֹ כְּשִׁבְתּוֹ עַל-כִּסְאוֹ הִכָּה אֶת-כָּל-בֵּית בַּעְשָׁא לֹֽא-הִשְׁאִיר לוֹ מַשְׁתִּין בְּקִיר וְגֹֽאֲלָיו וְרֵעֵֽהוּ׃

וַיָּנֻסוּ הַנּֽוֹתָרִים׀ אֲפֵקָה אֶל-הָעִיר וַתִּפֹּל הַֽחוֹמָה עַל-עֶשְׂרִים וְשִׁבְעָה אֶלֶף אִישׁ הַנּֽוֹתָרִים וּבֶן-הֲדַד נָס וַיָּבֹא אֶל-הָעִיר חֶדֶר בְּחָֽדֶר׃

And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
וַיְהִי כִשְׁמֹעַ הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הָֽאִשָּׁה וַיִּקְרַע אֶת-בְּגָדָיו וְהוּא עֹבֵר עַל-הַֽחֹמָה וַיַּרְא הָעָם וְהִנֵּה הַשַּׂק עַל-בְּשָׂרוֹ מִבָּֽיִת׃

And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֶלְיָקִים בֶּן-חִלְקִיָּהוּ וְשֶׁבְנָה וְיוֹאָח אֶל-רַב-שָׁקֵה דַּבֶּר-נָא אֶל-עֲבָדֶיךָ אֲרָמִית כִּי שֹֽׁמְעִים אֲנָחְנוּ וְאַל-תְּדַבֵּר עִמָּנוּ יְהוּדִית בְּאָזְנֵי הָעָם אֲשֶׁר עַל-הַֽחֹמָֽה׃
Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם שָׁקֵה הַעַל אֲדֹנֶיךָ וְאֵלֶיךָ שְׁלָחַנִי אֲדֹנִי לְדַבֵּר אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה הֲלֹא עַל-הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים עַל-הַחֹמָה לֶֽאֱכֹל אֶת-צוֹאָתָם וְלִשְׁתּוֹת אֶת-שֵׁינֵיהֶם עִמָּכֶֽם׃
But Rab-shakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
וַיַּסֵּב אֶת-פָּנָיו אֶל-הַקִּיר וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל אֶל-יְהוָה לֵאמֹֽר׃
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,
וַתִּבָּקַע הָעִיר וְכָל-אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה׀ הַלַּיְלָה דֶּרֶךְ שַׁעַר׀ בֵּין הַחֹֽמֹתַיִם אֲשֶׁר עַל-גַּן הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכַשְׂדִּים עַל-הָעִיר סָבִיב וַיֵּלֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ הָֽעֲרָבָֽה׃
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
וְאֶת-חוֹמֹת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם סָבִיב נָֽתְצוּ כָּל-חֵיל כַּשְׂדִּים אֲשֶׁר רַב-טַבָּחִֽים׃
And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
וַיִּשְׁלַח (חירם) חוּרָם מֶֽלֶךְ-צֹר מַלְאָכִים אֶל-דָּוִיד וַֽעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים וְחָֽרָשֵׁי קִיר וְחָֽרָשֵׁי עֵצִים לִבְנוֹת לוֹ בָּֽיִת׃
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים כִּכְּרֵי זָהָב מִזְּהַב אוֹפִיר וְשִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים כִּכַּר-כֶּסֶף מְזֻקָּק לָטוּחַ קִירוֹת הַבָּתִּֽים׃
Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal:
וַיְחַף אֶת-הַבַּיִת הַקֹּרוֹת הַסִּפִּים וְקִֽירוֹתָיו וְדַלְתוֹתָיו זָהָב וּפִתַּח כְּרוּבִים עַל-הַקִּירֽוֹת׃
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.
וְכַנְפֵי הַכְּרוּבִים אָרְכָּם אַמּוֹת עֶשְׂרִים כְּנַף הָֽאֶחָד לְאַמּוֹת חָמֵשׁ מַגַּעַת לְקִיר הַבַּיִת וְהַכָּנָף הָֽאַחֶרֶת אַמּוֹת חָמֵשׁ מַגִּיעַ לִכְנַף הַכְּרוּב הָֽאַחֵֽר׃
And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
וּכְנַף הַכְּרוּב הָֽאֶחָד אַמּוֹת חָמֵשׁ מַגִּיעַ לְקִיר הַבָּיִת וְהַכָּנָף הָֽאַחֶרֶת אַמּוֹת חָמֵשׁ דְּבֵקָה לִכְנַף הַכְּרוּב הָֽאַחֵֽר׃
And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
וַיִּבֶן אֶת-בֵּית חוֹרוֹן הָֽעֶלְיוֹן וְאֶת-בֵּית חוֹרוֹן הַתַּחְתּוֹן עָרֵי מָצוֹר חוֹמוֹת דְּלָתַיִם וּבְרִֽיחַ׃
Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
וַיֹּאמֶר לִֽיהוּדָה נִבְנֶה׀ אֶת-הֶֽעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְנָסֵב חוֹמָה וּמִגְדָּלִים דְּלָתַיִם וּבְרִיחִים עוֹדֶנּוּ הָאָרֶץ לְפָנֵינוּ כִּי דָרַשְׁנוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ דָּרַשְׁנוּ וַיָּנַֽח לָנוּ מִסָּבִיב וַיִּבְנוּ וַיַּצְלִֽיחוּ׃
Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
וְאֵת אֲמַצְיָהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה בֶּן-יוֹאָשׁ בֶּן-יְהֽוֹאָחָז תָּפַשׂ יוֹאָשׁ מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּבֵית שָׁמֶשׁ וַיְבִיאֵהוּ יְרוּשָׁלִַם וַיִּפְרֹץ בְּחוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם מִשַּׁעַר אֶפְרַיִם עַד-שַׁעַר הַפּוֹנֶה אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אַמָּֽה׃
And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
וַיֵּצֵא וַיִּלָּחֶם בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיִּפְרֹץ אֶת-חוֹמַת גַּת וְאֵת חוֹמַת יַבְנֵה וְאֵת חוֹמַת אַשְׁדּוֹד וַיִּבְנֶה עָרִים בְּאַשְׁדּוֹד וּבַפְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
הוּא בָּנָה אֶת-שַׁעַר בֵּית-יְהוָה הָֽעֶלְיוֹן וּבְחוֹמַת הָעֹפֶל בָּנָה לָרֹֽב׃
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
וַיִּתְחַזַּק וַיִּבֶן אֶת-כָּל-הַֽחוֹמָה הַפְּרוּצָה וַיַּעַל עַל-הַמִּגְדָּלוֹת וְלַחוּצָה הַֽחוֹמָה אַחֶרֶת וַיְחַזֵּק אֶת-הַמִּלּוֹא עִיר דָּוִיד וַיַּעַשׂ שֶׁלַח לָרֹב וּמָֽגִנִּֽים׃
Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
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.
וְאַֽחֲרֵי-כֵן בָּנָה חוֹמָה חִֽיצוֹנָה׀ לְעִיר-דָּוִיד מַעְרָבָה לְגִיחוֹן בַּנַּחַל וְלָבוֹא בְשַׁעַר הַדָּגִים וְסָבַב לָעֹפֶל וַיַּגְבִּיהֶהָ מְאֹד וַיָּשֶׂם שָֽׂרֵי-חַיִל בְּכָל-הֶֽעָרִים הַבְּצֻרוֹת בִּֽיהוּדָֽה׃
Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
וַֽיִּשְׂרְפוּ אֶת-בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַֽיְנַתְּצוּ אֵת חוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְכָל-אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ שָֽׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ וְכָל-כְּלֵי מַֽחֲמַדֶּיהָ לְהַשְׁחִֽית׃
And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לִי הַֽנִּשְׁאָרִים אֲשֶֽׁר-נִשְׁאֲרוּ מִן-הַשְּׁבִי שָׁם בַּמְּדִינָה בְּרָעָה גְדֹלָה וּבְחֶרְפָּה וְחוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם מְפֹרָצֶת וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ נִצְּתוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
וְאִגֶּרֶת אֶל-אָסָף שֹׁמֵר הַפַּרְדֵּס אֲשֶׁר לַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר יִתֶּן-לִי עֵצִים לְקָרוֹת אֶת-שַֽׁעֲרֵי הַבִּירָה אֲשֶׁר-לַבַּיִת וּלְחוֹמַת הָעִיר וְלַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-אָבוֹא אֵלָיו וַיִּתֶּן-לִי הַמֶּלֶךְ כְּיַד-אֱלֹהַי הַטּוֹבָה עָלָֽי׃
And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
וָאֵֽצְאָה בְשַֽׁעַר-הַגַּיא לַיְלָה וְאֶל-פְּנֵי עֵין הַתַּנִּין וְאֶל-שַׁעַר הָֽאַשְׁפֹּת וָֽאֱהִי שֹׂבֵר בְּחוֹמֹת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר-(המפרוצים) הֵם פְּרוּצִים וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ אֻכְּלוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
וָֽאֱהִי עֹלֶה בַנַּחַל לַיְלָה וָֽאֱהִי שֹׂבֵר בַּֽחוֹמָה וָֽאָשׁוּב וָֽאָבוֹא בְּשַׁעַר הַגַּיְא וָֽאָשֽׁוּב׃
Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.
וָֽאוֹמַר אֲלֵהֶם אַתֶּם רֹאִים הָֽרָעָה אֲשֶׁר אֲנַחְנוּ בָהּ אֲשֶׁר יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם חֲרֵבָה וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ נִצְּתוּ בָאֵשׁ לְכוּ וְנִבְנֶה אֶת-חוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וְלֹֽא-נִהְיֶה עוֹד חֶרְפָּֽה׃
Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
עַל-יָדוֹ הֶֽחֱזִיק עֻזִּיאֵל בֶּֽן-חַרְהֲיָה צֽוֹרְפִים וְעַל-יָדוֹ הֶֽחֱזִיק חֲנַנְיָה בֶּן-הָֽרַקָּחִים וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ יְרוּשָׁלִַם עַד הַֽחוֹמָה הָֽרְחָבָֽה׃
Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.
אֵת שַׁעַר הַגַּיְא הֶֽחֱזִיק חָנוּן וְיֹֽשְׁבֵי זָנוֹחַ הֵמָּה בָנוּהוּ וַֽיַּעֲמִידוּ דַּלְתֹתָיו מַנְעֻלָיו וּבְרִיחָיו וְאֶלֶף אַמָּה בַּֽחוֹמָה עַד שַׁעַר הָשֲׁפֽוֹת׃
The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall unto the dung gate.
וְאֵת שַׁעַר הָעַיִן הֶֽחֱזִיק שַׁלּוּן בֶּן-כָּל-חֹזֶה שַׂר פֶּלֶךְ הַמִּצְפָּה הוּא יִבְנֶנּוּ וִיטַֽלְלֶנּוּ (ויעמידו) וְיַעֲמִיד דַּלְתֹתָיו מַנְעֻלָיו וּבְרִיחָיו וְאֵת חוֹמַת בְּרֵכַת הַשֶּׁלַח לְגַן-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְעַד-הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת הַיּֽוֹרְדוֹת מֵעִיר דָּוִֽיד׃
But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.
אַֽחֲרָיו הֶֽחֱזִיקוּ הַתְּקֹעִים מִדָּה שֵׁנִית מִנֶּגֶד הַמִּגְדָּל הַגָּדוֹל הַיּוֹצֵא וְעַד חוֹמַת הָעֹֽפֶל׃
After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע סַנְבַלַּט כִּֽי-אֲנַחְנוּ בוֹנִים אֶת-הַחוֹמָה וַיִּחַר לוֹ וַיִּכְעַס הַרְבֵּה וַיַּלְעֵג עַל-הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
וְטֽוֹבִיָּה הָֽעַמֹּנִי אֶצְלוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר גַּם אֲשֶׁר-הֵם בּוֹנִים אִם-יַֽעֲלֶה שׁוּעָל וּפָרַץ חוֹמַת אַבְנֵיהֶֽם׃
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
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.
וַיְהִי כַֽאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע סַנְבַלַּט וְטֽוֹבִיָּה וְהָֽעַרְבִים וְהָֽעַמֹּנִים וְהָֽאַשְׁדּוֹדִים כִּֽי-עָלְתָה אֲרוּכָה לְחֹמוֹת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם כִּֽי-הֵחֵלּוּ הַפְּרֻצִים לְהִסָּתֵם וַיִּחַר לָהֶם מְאֹֽד׃
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה כָּשַׁל כֹּחַ הַסַּבָּל וְהֶֽעָפָר הַרְבֵּה וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ לֹא נוּכַל לִבְנוֹת בַּֽחוֹמָֽה׃
And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
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.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר-שָׁמְעוּ אֽוֹיְבֵינוּ כִּי-נוֹדַֽע לָנוּ וַיָּפֶר הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת-עֲצָתָם (ונשוב) וַנָּשָׁב כֻּלָּנוּ אֶל-הַחוֹמָה אִישׁ אֶל-מְלַאכְתּֽוֹ׃
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
הַבּוֹנִים בַּֽחוֹמָה וְהַנֹּֽשְׂאִים בַּסֶּבֶל עֹֽמְשִׂים בְּאַחַת יָדוֹ עֹשֶׂה בַמְּלָאכָה וְאַחַת מַֽחֲזֶקֶת הַשָּֽׁלַח׃
They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
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.
וְגַם בִּמְלֶאכֶת הַֽחוֹמָה הַזֹּאת הֶֽחֱזַקְתִּי וְשָׂדֶה לֹא קָנִינוּ וְכָל-נְעָרַי קְבוּצִים שָׁם עַל-הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃
Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.
וַיְהִי כַֽאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁמַע לְסַנְבַלַּט וְטֽוֹבִיָּה וּלְגֶשֶׁם הָֽעַרְבִי וּלְיֶתֶר אֹֽיְבֵינוּ כִּי בָנִיתִי אֶת-הַחוֹמָה וְלֹא-נוֹתַר בָּהּ פָּרֶץ גַּם עַד-הָעֵת הַהִיא דְּלָתוֹת לֹֽא-הֶעֱמַדְתִּי בַשְּׁעָרִֽים׃
Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)
כָּתוּב בָּהּ בַּגּוֹיִם נִשְׁמָע וְגַשְׁמוּ אֹמֵר אַתָּה וְהַיְּהוּדִים חֹֽשְׁבִים לִמְרוֹד עַל-כֵּן אַתָּה בוֹנֶה הַֽחוֹמָה וְאַתָּה הוֶֹה לָהֶם לְמֶלֶךְ כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
וַתִּשְׁלַם הַֽחוֹמָה בְּעֶשְׂרִים וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה לֶֽאֱלוּל לַֽחֲמִשִּׁים וּשְׁנַיִם יֽוֹם׃
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִבְנְתָה הַֽחוֹמָה וָאַֽעֲמִיד הַדְּלָתוֹת וַיִּפָּקְדוּ הַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַלְוִיִּֽם׃
Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
וּבַֽחֲנֻכַּת חוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם בִּקְשׁוּ אֶת-הַלְוִיִּם מִכָּל-מְקוֹמֹתָם לַֽהֲבִיאָם לִֽירוּשָׁלִָם לַֽעֲשֹׂת חֲנֻכָּה וְשִׂמְחָה וּבְתוֹדוֹת וּבְשִׁיר מְצִלְתַּיִם נְבָלִים וּבְכִנֹּרֽוֹת׃
And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
וַיִּֽטַּהֲרוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וַֽיְטַהֲרוּ אֶת-הָעָם וְאֶת-הַשְּׁעָרִים וְאֶֽת-הַחוֹמָֽה׃
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
וָאַֽעֲלֶה אֶת-שָׂרֵי יְהוּדָה מֵעַל לַֽחוֹמָה וָאַֽעֲמִידָה שְׁתֵּי תוֹדֹת גְּדוֹלֹת וְתַֽהֲלֻכֹת לַיָּמִין מֵעַל לַֽחוֹמָה לְשַׁעַר הָֽאַשְׁפֹּֽת׃
Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
וְעַל שַׁעַר הָעַיִן וְנֶגְדָּם עָלוּ עַֽל-מַעֲלוֹת עִיר דָּוִיד בַּֽמַּעֲלֶה לַֽחוֹמָה מֵעַל לְבֵית דָּוִיד וְעַד שַׁעַר הַמַּיִם מִזְרָֽח׃
And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
