H9009–/ה–ha

I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Don't be you afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

הַחֹרִ֤ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַסְּגָנִים֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַגָּד֤וֹל (הַ) ha. “<the>”וְהַנּוֹרָא֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

It happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, that we returned all of us to the wall, everyone to his work.

הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַ֣חוֹמָ֔ה (הַ֣) ha. “the”

It happened from that time forth, that half of my servants worked in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

הַיּ֣וֹם (הַ) hai. “the”הַה֗וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”וְהָרְמָחִ֣ים (הָ) ha. “the”הַמָּגִנִּ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַקְּשָׁת֖וֹת (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַשִּׁרְיֹנִ֑ים (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַ֨שָּׂרִ֔ים (הַ֨) Ha. “the”

They all built the wall and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands worked in the work, and with the other held his weapon;

הַבּוֹנִ֧ים (הַ) ha. “who”וְהַנֹּשְׂאִ֥ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַשָּֽׁלַח׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

and the builders, everyone had his sword girded by his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by me.

וְהַ֨בּוֹנִ֔ים (הַ֨) Ha. “the”וְהַתּוֹקֵ֥עַ (הַ) ha. “the”

I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, one far from another:

הַחֹרִ֤ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַסְּגָנִים֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַמְּלָאכָ֥ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַ֣חוֹמָ֔ה (הַ֣) ha. “the”

in whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, resort you there to us; our God will fight for us.

הַשּׁוֹפָ֔ר (הַ) ha. “the”

So we worked in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.

הַשַּׁ֔חַר (הַ) ha. “the”הַכּוֹכָבִֽים׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Likewise at the same time said I to the people, Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day.

הַהִיא֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַלַּ֛יְלָה (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַיּ֥וֹם (הַ) hai. “the”

So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us put off our clothes, everyone [ergänzt: went with] his weapon [ergänzt: to] the water.

הַמִּשְׁמָר֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמָּֽיִם׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews.

הָעָ֛ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃ (הַ) hai. “the”

There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute [ergänzt: on] our fields and our vineyards.

הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.

הַדְּבָרִ֥ים (הַ) ha. “the”הָאֵֽלֶּה׃ (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, You exact usury, everyone of his brother. I held a great assembly against them.

הַחֹרִ֣ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַסְּגָנִ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”

I said to them, We after our ability have redeemed our brothers the Jews, that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word.

הַיְּהוּדִ֜ים (הַ) hai. “the”הַנִּמְכָּרִ֤ים (הַ) ha. “who”

Also I said, The thing that you do is not good: ought you not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?

הַדָּבָ֖ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַגּוֹיִ֥ם (הַ) ha. “the”

I likewise, my brothers and my servants, do lend them money and grain. Please let us leave off this usury.

הַמַּשָּׁ֥א (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Please restore to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you exact of them.

כְּהַיּ֗וֹם (הַ) hai. “this”הַכֶּ֤סֶף (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַדָּגָן֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַתִּיר֣וֹשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַיִּצְהָ֔ר (הַ) hai. “the”

Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as you say. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.

הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Also I shook out my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that doesn't perform this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. All the assembly said, Amen, and praised Yahweh. The people did according to this promise.

הָֽאֱלֹהִ֟ים (הָֽ) ha. “<the>”הָאִישׁ֩ (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַדָּבָ֣ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּ֗ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַקָּהָ֜ל (הַ) ha. “the”הָעָ֖ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַזֶּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, [ergänzt: that is], twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַפֶּ֖חָה (הַ) ha. “the”

But the former governors who were before me were chargeable to the people, and took of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver; yes, even their servants bore rule over the people: but I didn't do so, because of the fear of God.

וְהַפַּחוֹת֩ (הַ) ha. “the”הָרִאשֹׁנִ֨ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הָעָ֗ם (הָ) ha. “the”הָעָ֑ם (הָ) ha. “the”

Yes, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered there to the work.

הַחוֹמָ֤ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֹּאת֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, one hundred fifty men, besides those who came to us from among the nations that were round about us.

וְהַיְּהוּדִ֨ים (הַ) hai. “the”וְהַסְּגָנִ֜ים (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַבָּאִ֥ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַגּוֹיִ֥ם (הַ) ha. “the”

Now that which was prepared for one day 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 I didn't demand the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy on this people.

הַפֶּחָה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָעֲבֹדָ֖ה (הָ) ha. “the”הָעָ֥ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַזֶּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”
