CHAPTER 7
Nehemiah 7:1
1 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, Nehemiah 7:2
2 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge
over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many. Nehemiah
7:3
3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun
be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and
appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch,
and every one to be over against his house. Nehemiah 7:4
4 Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the
houses were not builded.
Nehemiah 7:5
5 And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers,
and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a

written therein,
Nehemiah 7:6

Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name. Nehemiah 7:64
64 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but
it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
Nehemiah 7:65
65 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy

66 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and

73 So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some

when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
CHAPTER 8
Nehemiah 8:1
1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street
that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring
the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
Nehemiah 8:2
2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and
women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the
seventh month.
Nehemiah 8:3
3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the
morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could
understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of
the law.
Nehemiah 8:4
4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the
purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah,
and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand,
Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah,
and Meshullam.
Nehemiah 8:5
5 And 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: Nehemiah 8:6
6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen,
Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped
the LORD with their faces to the ground. Nehemiah 8:7
7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah,
Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused
the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
Nehemiah 8:8
8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense,
and caused them to understand the reading. Nehemiah 8:9
9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the
Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto
the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they
heard the words of the law. Nehemiah 8:10
10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and
send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto
our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Nehemiah 8:11
11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day
is holy; neither be ye grieved. Nehemiah 8:12
12 And 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 unto them.
Nehemiah 8:13
13 And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all
the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to
understand the words of the law.
Nehemiah 8:14
14 And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses,
that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh
month:
Nehemiah 8:15
15 And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in
Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine
branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick
trees, to make booths, as it is written. Nehemiah 8:16
16 So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths,
every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of
the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of
the gate of Ephraim.
Nehemiah 8:17
17 And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity
made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of
Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very
great gladness. Nehemiah 8:18
18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book
of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day
was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner. CHAPTER 9
Nehemiah 9:1
1 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were
assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them. Nehemiah 9:2
2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and
confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. Nehemiah 9:3
3 And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD
their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed,
and worshipped the LORD their God. Nehemiah 9:4
4 Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel,
Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice
unto the LORD their God.
Nehemiah 9:5
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah,
Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever
and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all
blessing and praise. Nehemiah 9:6
6 Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of
heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the
seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of
heaven worshippeth thee.
Nehemiah 9:7
7 Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth
out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham; Nehemiah 9:8
8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him
to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to
his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous: Nehemiah 9:9
9 And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry
by the Red sea;
Nehemiah 9:10
10 And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on
all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against
them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day. Nehemiah 9:11
11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the
midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the
deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters. Nehemiah 9:12
12 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night
by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
Nehemiah 9:13
13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven,
and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
Nehemiah 9:14
14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts,
statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant: Nehemiah 9:15
15 And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth
water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they
should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
Nehemiah 9:16
16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and
hearkened not to thy commandments,
Nehemiah 9:17
17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst
among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a
captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon,
gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and
forsookest them not.
Nehemiah 9:18
18 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that
brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; Nehemiah 9:19
19 Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the
pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way;
neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein
they should go.
Nehemiah 9:20
20 Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy
manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. Nehemiah 9:21
21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they
lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
Nehemiah 9:22
22 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into
corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of
Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. Nehemiah 9:23
23 Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest
them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that
they should go in to possess it. Nehemiah 9:24
24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before
them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their
hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with
them as they would.
Nehemiah 9:25
25 And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of
all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in
abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted
themselves in thy great goodness. Nehemiah 9:26
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy
law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to
turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations. Nehemiah 9:27
27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed
them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou
heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest
them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. Nehemiah
9:28
28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest
thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over
them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from
heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
Nehemiah 9:29
29 And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy
law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but
sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and
withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
Nehemiah 9:30
30 Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy
spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them
into the hand of the people of the lands. Nehemiah 9:31
31 Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume
them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God. Nehemiah 9:32
32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who
keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee,
that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and
on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time
of the kings of Assyria unto this day. Nehemiah 9:33
33 Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done
right, but we have done wickedly:
Nehemiah 9:34
34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy
law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou
didst testify against them.
Nehemiah 9:35
35 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness
that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before
them, neither turned they from their wicked works. Nehemiah 9:36
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our
fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants
in it:
Nehemiah 9:37
37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us
because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our
cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress. Nehemiah 9:38
38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our
princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
