καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαγὸ Οὐθί καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὀγδοήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.

Καὶ συνῆξα αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν ἐρχόμενον πρὸς τὸν Εὐείμ, καὶ παρενεβάλομεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς· καὶ συνῆκα ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν, καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Λευεὶ οὐχ εὗρον ἐκεῖ.

καὶ ἀπέστειλα τῷ Ἐλεαζάρ, τῷ Ἀριήλ, τῷ Σαμαιὰ καὶ τῷ Ἀλωνὰμ καὶ τῷ Ἀρὲβ καὶ τῷ Ἐλναθὰμ καὶ τῷ Ναθὰν καὶ τῷ Ζαχαρίᾳ καὶ τῷ Μεσουὰμ ἄνδρας· καὶ τῷ Ἀρεὶβ καὶ τῷ Ἐαναθὰν συνιόντας.

καὶ ἐξήνεγκα αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ ἄρχοντος ἐν ἀργυρίῳ τοῦ τόπου, καὶ ἔθηκα ἐν στόματι αὐτῶν λόγους λαλῆσαι πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν τῶν Ἀθανεὶμ ἐν ἀργυρίῳ τόπου τοῦ ἐνέγκαι ἡμῖν ᾄδοντας εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἡμῖν, ὡς χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, ἀνὴρ σαχὼχ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Μοολεὶ υἱοῦ Λευεὶ υἱοῦ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἀρχὴν ἤλθοσαν υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ὀκτὼ καὶ δέκα·

καὶ τὸν Ἁσεβειὰ καὶ τὸν Ὠσαίαν ἀπὸ υἱῶν Μεραρεί, ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν εἴκοσι·

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν Ναθεινεὶμ ὧν ἔδωκεν Δαυεὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες εἰς δουλείαν τῶν Λευειτῶν, Ναθεινεὶμ δια- ⁴⁶ κόσιοι καὶ εἵκοσι· πάντες συνήχθησαν ἐν ὀνόμασιν.

καὶ ἐκάλεσα ἐκεῖ νηστείαν ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν Θουὲ τοῦ ταπεινωθῆναι ἐνώπιον θεοῦ ἡμών, ζητῆσαι παρʼ αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν εὐθεῖαν ἡμῖν καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν καὶ πάσῃ τῇ κτήσει ἡμῶν.

ὅτι ᾐσχύνθην αἰτήσασθαι παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως δύναμιν καὶ ἱππεῖς σῶσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ ἐχθροῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ὅτι εἴπαμεν τῷ βασιλεῖ λέγοντες Χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ζητοῦντας αὐτὸν εἰς ἀγαθόν, καὶ κράτος αὐτοῦ καὶ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντας ἐνκαταλείποντας αὐτόν.

καὶ ἐνηστεύσαμεν καὶ ἐζητήσαμεν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν περὶ τούτου, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ἡμῖν.

καὶ διέστειλα ἀπὸ ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων δώδεκα, τῷ Σαραιά, Ἁσαβιά, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν δώδεκα.

καὶ ἔστησα αὐτοῖς τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἀπαρχῆς οἴκου θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἃ ὕψωσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ σύμβουλοι αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ οἱ εὑρισκόμενοι.

καὶ ἔστησα ἐπὶ χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου τάλαντα ἑξακόσια καὶ πεντήκοντα, καὶ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ ἑκατόν, καὶ τάλαντα χρυσίου ἑκατόν·

καὶ καφουδὴθ χρυσοῖ εἴκοσι εἰς τὴυ ὁδὸν χαμανεὶμ χίλιοι, καὶ σκεύη χαλκοῦ στίλβοντος ἀγαθοῦ διάφορα, ἐπιθυμητὰ ἐν χρυσίῳ.

καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς Ὑμεῖς ἅγιοι τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἅγια καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἑκούσια τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ πατέρων ἡμῶν·

ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ τηρεῖτε, ἕως στῆτε ἐνώπιον ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευειτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πατριῶν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, εἰς σκηνὰς οἴκου Κυρίου.

καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται σταθμὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου καὶ τῶν σκευῶν, ἐνεγκεῖν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

Καὶ ἐξήραμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Θουέ ἐν τῇ δωδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἦν ἐφʼ ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ χειρὸς ἐχθροῦ καὶ πολεμίου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.

καὶ ἤλθομεν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐκαθίσαμεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς.

καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐστήσαμεν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἐν οἴκῳ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χεῖρα Μερειμὼθ υἱοῦ Οὐρεία τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ Ἐλεαζὰρ υἱὸς Φεινεές, ⁷⁸ καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν Ἰωζαβὰδ υἱὸς Ἰησοῦ καὶ Νοαδεὶ ἀπὸ Ἐβανναιὰ οἱ ⁹ Λευεῖται·

ἐν ἀριθμῷ καὶ ἐν σταθμῷ τὰ πάντα, καὶ ἐγράφη πᾶς ὁ σταθμός. ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ

διελθόντες ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας υἱοὶ τῆς παροικίας προσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώσεις τῷ θεῷ Ἰσραήλ, μόσχους δώδεκα περὶ παντὸς Ἰσραήλ, κριοὺς ἐνενήκοντα ἕξ, ἀμνοὺς ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ ἑπτά, χιμάρους περὶ ἁμαρτίας δώδεκα, τὰ πάντα ὁλοκαυτωμάτααον.

καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ βασιλέως τοῖς διοικηταῖς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπάρχοις πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ· καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ.

Now these are the heads of their fathers’ [houses], and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:

Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush.

Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males one hundred fifty.

Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.

Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males.

Of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.

Of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.

Of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.

Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

Of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him one hundred sixty males.

Of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.

Of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him one hundred ten males.

Of the sons of Adonikam, [who were] the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.

Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.

Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, who were teachers.

I sent them forth to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo, [and] his brothers the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.

According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;

and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were mentioned by name.

Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.

So we fasted and begged our God for this: and he was entreated of us.

Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,

and weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered:

I weighed into their hand six hundred fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels one hundred talents; of gold one hundred talents;

and twenty bowls of gold, of one thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold.

I said to them, You are holy to Yahweh, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill-offering to Yahweh, the God of your fathers.

Watch you, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ [houses] of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Yahweh.

So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth [day] of the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandit by the way.

We came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levite;

the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time.

The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burnt offering to Yahweh.

They delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s satraps, and to the governors beyond the River: and they furthered the people and the house of God.

Nehemiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 8 focus

All the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded to Israel.

Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.

He read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were [attentive] to the book of the law.

Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, [and] Meshullam.

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:

and Ezra blessed Yahweh, the great God. All the people answered, Amen, Amen, with the lifting up of their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.

Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people [stood] in their place.

They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.

Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Yahweh your God; don’t mourn, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord: neither be you grieved; for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.

So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be you grieved.

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 to them.

On the second day were gathered together the heads of fathers’ [houses] of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to the words of the law.

They found written in the law, how that Yahweh had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;

and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mountain, and get olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.

So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, everyone on the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim.

All the assembly of those who were come again out of the captivity made booths, and lived in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the children of Israel had not done so. There was very great gladness.

Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
