lesserot - Nehemiah:6-7

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now it came to pass, when it came to the hearing of Sanballat, and Tobiyah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left therein, although up to that time I had not yet set up the doors in the gates.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:2 @ That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in Kephirim, in the plain of Ono. But they were thinking of doing me mischief.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:3 @ And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down: why should the work cease, while I leave it lying, and come down to you?

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:4 @ And they sent unto me after this manner four times; and I answered them after the same manner.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then sent Sanballat unto me in like manner the fifth time his young man with an open letter in his hand:

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:6 @ Therein was written, It hath been heard among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think of rebelling; wherefore thou art building up the wall; and that thou art to be king unto them, according to these reports.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And that thou hast also set up prophets to proclaim concerning thee at Jerusalem, saying, He is king in Judah: and now there may be reported to the king something like these words. Now therefore come, and let us take counsel together.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent unto him, saying, "There hath been done nothing like these reports of which thou speakest; but out of thy own heart thou inventest them."

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all wished to make us afraid, thinking, Their hands will be withdrawn from the work, so that it will not be done. Now therefore, strengthen my hands.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:10 @ And I came also into the house of Shemayah the son of Delayah the son of Mehetabel, who had shut himself up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us lock the doors of the temple; for they are coming to slay thee: yea, in the night are they coming to slay thee.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said, Should a man like me flee? and who is there that is like me, that would go into the temple and live? I will not go in.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And I perceived that, lo, God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy over me, because Tobiyah and Sanballat had hired him.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:13 @ Therefore was he hired, in order that I should become afraid, and do so, and sin, and that it might serve them for an evil report, so that they might cast reproach upon me.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:14 @ Think, O my God, of Tobiyah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also of Noadyah the prophetess, and the rest of the prophets, who wished to make me afraid.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:15 @ And so was the wall finished on the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it came to pass, when our enemies heard this, and all the nations that were about us saw it, that they sank greatly in their own eyes; and they perceived that by the aid of our God had this work been wrought.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:17 @ Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah despatched frequently their letters unto Tobiyah, and those of Tobiyah came unto them.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were sworn friends unto him; because he was the soninlaw of Shechanyah the son of Arach, and Jehochanan his son had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Bercehyah.

lesserot@Nehemiah:6:19 @ Also his good deeds were they reporting before me, and my words they used to carry out to him: also Tobiyah sent letters to make me afraid.

lesserot@Nehemiah:7:1 @ And it came to pass, when the wall was built, that I set up the doors; and then were appointed the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites.

lesserot@Nehemiah:7:2 @ And I gave my brother Chanani, and Chananyah the commander of the fortress, charge over Jerusalem; for he was esteemed a faithful man, and one that feared God these many days.

lesserot@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said unto them, The gates of Jerusalem must not be opened until the sun be hot; and while ye stand by, let them shut the doors, and do ye bar them; and station watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one opposite to his house.

lesserot@Nehemiah:7:4 @ But the city was roomy in space and large: while the people therein were few, and the houses were not yet built.

lesserot@Nehemiah:7:5 @ Then did my God put it into my heart, and I assembled together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might give in their genealogy; and I found a register of the genealogy of those who were come up at the first, and I found written therein:
