H9009–/ה–ha

The sons of Levi, heads of families, were recorded in the book of the histories, even till the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.

הָֽאָב֔וֹת (הָֽ) ha. “the”הַיָּמִ֑ים (הַ) hai. “the”

And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to give blessing and praise as ordered by David, the man of God, watch against watch.

הַ֠לְוִיִּם (הַ֠) Ha “the”הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were door-keepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the doors.

הַשְּׁעָרִֽים׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the ruler and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

הַפֶּחָ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַכֹּהֵ֖ן (הַ) ha. “the”הַסּוֹפֵֽר׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.

הַלְוִיִּם֙ (הַ) ha “the”

And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,

הַמְשֹׁרְרִ֑ים (הַ) ha “the”הַכִּכָּר֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

And from Beth-gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the music-makers had made daughter-towns for themselves round about Jerusalem.

הַגִּלְגָּ֔ל (הַ) ha. “<of the>”הַמְשֹׁ֣רֲרִ֔ים (הַ) ha “the”

And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways and the wall.

הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַלְוִיִּ֑ם (הַ) ha “the”הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַשְּׁעָרִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַחוֹמָֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;

הָאַשְׁפֹּֽת׃ (הָ) ha. “the”

And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”

And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head;

הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַסּוֹפֵ֖ר (הַ) ha. “the”

And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to the east.

הָעַ֜יִן (הָ) ha. “the”הַמַּ֖יִם (הַ) ha. “the”

And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide wall;

וְהַתּוֹדָ֧ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַשֵּׁנִ֛ית (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַהוֹלֶ֥כֶת (הַ) ha. “[was] the”הָעָ֜ם (הָ) ha. “the”לְהַחוֹמָ֗ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַתַּנּוּרִ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַחוֹמָ֥ה (הַ) ha. “the”הָרְחָבָֽה׃ (הָ) ha. “<the>”

And over the doorway of Ephraim and by the old door and the fish door and the tower of Hananel and the tower of Hammeah, as far as the sheep door: and at the doorway of the watchmen they came to a stop.

הַיְשָׁנָ֜ה (הַ) ha “<the>”הַדָּגִ֗ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֵּאָ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַצֹּ֑אן (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּטָּרָֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

הַתּוֹדֹ֖ת (הַ) ha. “the”הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַסְּגָנִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”

And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments;

וְהַכֹּהֲנִ֡ים (הַ) ha. “the”

And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

הַמְשֹׁ֣רְרִ֔ים (הַ) ha “the”הַפָּקִֽיד׃ (הַ) ha. “[was] the”

And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.

הַ֠הוּא (הַ֠) Ha. “<the>”הָאֱלֹהִים֙ (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַנָּשִׁ֛ים (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַיְלָדִ֖ים (הַ) ha “the”

And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for th

הַה֨וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַנְּשָׁכ֗וֹת (הַ) ha. “the”הֶעָרִים֙ (הֶ) he. “the”הַתּוֹרָ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַכֹּהֲנִ֥ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַלְוִיִּ֖ם (הַ) ha “the”הָעֹמְדִֽים׃ (הָ) ha. “who”

And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.

הַֽטָּהֳרָ֔ה (הַֽ) ha. “<the>”וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים (הַ) ha “the”וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִ֑ים (הַ) ha. “the”

For in the days of David and Asaph in the past, there was a master of the music, and songs of blessing and praise to God.

הַמְשֹׁ֣רְרִ֔ים (הַ) ha “the”

And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.

הַמְשֹׁרְרִ֥ים (הַ) ha “the”וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַלְוִיִּ֔ם (הַ) ha “the”

On that day there was a reading from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and they saw that it said in the book that no Ammonite or Moabite might ever come into the meeting of God;

הַה֗וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָעָ֑ם (הָ) ha. “the”הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Because they did not give the children of Israel bread and water when they came to them, but got Balaam to put a curse on them: though the curse was turned into a blessing by our God.

הַקְּלָלָ֖ה (הַ) ha. “the”

So after hearing the law, they took out of Israel all the mixed people.
