H9009–/ה–ha

Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who had been placed over the rooms of the house of our God, being a friend of Tobiah,

הַכֹּהֵ֔ן (הַ) ha. “the”

Had made ready for him a great room, where at one time they kept the meal offerings, the perfume, and the vessels and the tenths of the grain and wine and oil which were given by order to the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers, and the lif

הַמִּנְחָ֨ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַלְּבוֹנָ֜ה (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַכֵּלִ֗ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַדָּגָן֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַתִּיר֣וֹשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַיִּצְהָ֔ר (הַ) hai. “the”הַלְוִיִּ֔ם (הַ) ha “the”וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים (הַ) ha “the”וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִ֑ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַכֹּהֲנִֽים׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

But all this time I was not at Jerusalem: for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes, king of Babylon, I went to the king; and after some days, I got the king to let me go,

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And I came to Jerusalem; and it was clear to me what evil Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in making ready for him a room in the buildings of the house of God.

הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ (הָ) ha. “<the>”

And it was evil in my eyes: so I had all Tobiah's things put out of the room.

הַח֖וּץ (הַ) ha. “the”הַלִּשְׁכָּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then I gave orders, and they made the rooms clean: and I put back in them the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the perfume.

הַלְּשָׁכ֑וֹת (הַ) ha. “the”הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַמִּנְחָ֖ה (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַלְּבוֹנָֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And I saw that the Levites had not been given what was needed for their support; so that the Levites and the music-makers, who did the work, had gone away, everyone to his field.

הַלְוִיִּ֖ם (הַ) ha “the”הַלְוִיִּ֥ם (הַ) ha “the”וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים (הַ) ha “the”הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<of> the”

Then I made protests to the chiefs, and said, Why has the house of God been given up? And I got them together and put them in their places.

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

Then all Judah came with the tenth part of the grain and wine and oil and put it into the store-houses.

הַדָּגָ֛ן (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַתִּיר֥וֹשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַיִּצְהָ֖ר (הַ) hai. “the”

And I made controllers over the store-houses, Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and with them was Hanan, the son of Zaccur the son of Mattaniah: they were taken to be true men and their business was the distribution

הַכֹּהֵ֜ן (הַ) ha. “the”הַסּוֹפֵ֗ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַלְוִיִּ֔ם (הַ) ha “the”

In those days, I saw in Judah some who were crushing grapes on the Sabbath, and getting in grain and putting it on asses; as well as wine and grapes and figs and all sorts of goods which they took into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I gave witness aga

הָהֵ֡מָּה (הָ) ha. “<the>”הָעֲרֵמ֣וֹת (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַחֲמֹרִ֟ים (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת (הַ) ha. “the”

And there were men of Tyre there, who came with fish and all sorts of goods, trading with the children of Judah and in Jerusalem on the Sabbath.

וְהַצֹּרִים֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then I made protests to the chiefs of Judah, and said to them, What is this evil which you are doing, not keeping the Sabbath day holy?

הַדָּבָ֨ר (הַ) ha. “[is] the”הָרָ֤ע (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַזֶּה֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Did not your fathers do the same, and did not our God send all this evil on us and on this town? but you are causing more wrath to come on Israel by not keeping the Sabbath holy.

הָרָעָ֣ה (הָ) ha. “the”הַזֹּ֔את (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָעִ֣יר (הָ) ha. “the”הַזֹּ֑את (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And so, when the streets of Jerusalem were getting dark before the Sabbath, I gave orders for the doors to be shut and not to be open again till after the Sabbath: and I put some of my servants by the door so that nothing might be taken in on the Sabbath

הַשַּׁבָּ֗ת (הַ) ha. “the”הַדְּלָת֔וֹת (הַ) ha. “the”הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת (הַ) ha. “the”הַשְּׁעָרִ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

So the traders in all sorts of goods took their night's rest outside Jerusalem once or twice.

הָרֹכְלִ֜ים (הָ) ha. “the”

Then I gave witness against them and said, Why are you waiting all night by the wall? if you do so again I will have you taken prisoners. From that time they did not come again on the Sabbath.

הַחוֹמָ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הָעֵ֣ת (הָ) ha. “the”הַהִ֔יא (הַ) ha. “<the>”

And I gave the Levites orders to make themselves clean and come and keep the doors and make the Sabbath holy. Keep this in mind to my credit, O my God, and have mercy on me, for great is your mercy.

הַשְּׁעָרִ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת (הַ) ha. “the”

And in those days I saw the Jews who were married to women of Ashdod and Ammon and Moab:

הָהֵ֗ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַיְּהוּדִים֙ (הַ) hai. “the”

Was it not in these things that Solomon, king of Israel, did wrong? among a number of nations there was no king like him, and he was dear to his God, and God made him king over all Israel: but even he was made to do evil by strange women.

הָרַבִּים֩ (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַנָּשִׁ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַנָּכְרִיּֽוֹת׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Are we then without protest to let you do all this great evil, sinning against our God by taking strange women for your wives?

הָרָעָ֤ה (הָ) ha. “the”הַגְּדוֹלָה֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַזֹּ֔את (הַ) ha. “<the>”

And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib, the chief priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: so I sent him away from me.

הַכֹּהֵ֣ן (הַ) ha. “the”הַגָּד֔וֹל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַחֹרֹנִ֑י (הַ) ha. “the”

Keep them in mind, O my God, because they have put shame on the priests' name and on the agreement of the priests and the Levites.

הַכְּהֻנָּ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַכְּהֻנָּ֖ה (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַלְוִיִּֽם׃ (הַ) ha “the”

And for the wood offering, at fixed times, and for the first fruits. Keep me in mind, O my God, for good.

הָעֵצִ֛ים (הָ) ha. “the”

Now it came about in the days of Ahasuerus, (that Ahasuerus who was ruler of a hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom, from India as far as Ethiopia:)
