| 15 | On the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul the wall was finished; it had taken fifty-two days. | Conclusion of the work. Ne.6.15-7.3 | וַתִּשְׁלַם הַחֹומָה בְּעֶשְׂרִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה לֶאֱלוּל לַחֲמִשִּׁים וּשְׁנַיִם יֹום׃ ף |
|
| 16 | When our enemies heard of it, and all the surrounding nations saw it Or were afraid, they thought it a very wonderful achievement they thought ... achievement: prob. rdg, Heb they fell very much in their own eyes, and they recognized that this work had been accomplished by the help of our God.
| | וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ כָּל־אֹויְבֵינוּ וַיִּרְאוּ כָּל־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹתֵינוּ וַיִּפְּלוּ מְאֹד בְּעֵינֵיהֶם וַיֵּדְעוּ כִּי מֵאֵת אֱלֹהֵינוּ נֶעֶשְׂתָה הַמְּלָאכָה הַזֹּאת׃ |
|
| 17 | All this time the nobles in Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah, and receiving replies from him. | | גַּם בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם מַרְבִּים חֹרֵי יְהוּדָה אִגְּרֹתֵיהֶם הֹולְכֹות עַל־טֹובִיָּה וַאֲשֶׁר לְטֹובִיָּה בָּאֹות אֲלֵיהֶם׃ |
|
| 18 | For many in Judah were in league with him, because he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married a daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah. | | כִּי־רַבִּים בִּיהוּדָה בַּעֲלֵי שְׁבוּעָה לֹו כִּי־חָתָן הוּא לִשְׁכַנְיָה בֶן־אָרַח וִיהֹוחָןָן בְּנֹו לָקַח אֶת־בַּת־מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן בֶּרֶכְיָה׃ |
|
| 19 | They were always praising Or repeating rumours about him in my presence and repeating to him what I said. Tobiah also wrote to me to intimidate me. | | גַּם טֹובֹתָיו הָיוּ אֹמְרִים לְפָנַי וּדְבָרַי הָיוּ מֹוצִיאִים לֹו אִגְּרֹות שָׁלַח טֹובִיָּה לְיָרְאֵנִי׃ |
|
| 7 1 | NOW WHEN THE WALL HAD BEEN REBUILT, and I had set the doors in place and the gate-keepers prob. rdg, Heb adds the singers and the Levites had been appointed, | | וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר נִבְנְתָה הַחֹומָה וָאַעֲמִיד הַדְּלָתֹות וַיִּפָּקְדוּ הַשֹּׁועֲרִים וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים וְהַלְוִיִּם׃ |
|
| 2 | I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, and to Hananiah, the governor of the citadel, for he was trustworthy and God-fearing above other men. | | וָאֲצַוֶּה אֶת־חֲנָנִי אָחִי וְאֶת־חֲנַנְיָה שַׂר הַבִּירָה עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם כִּי־הוּא כְּאִישׁ אֱמֶת וְיָרֵא אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים מֵרַבִּים׃ |
|
| 3 | And I said to them, 'The entrances to Jerusalem are not to be left open during the heat of the day; the gates must be kept shut and barred while the gate-keepers are standing at ease. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, some on sentry-duty and others posted in front of their own homes.'
| | כ= וַיֹּאמֶר ק= וָאֹמַר לָהֶם לֹא יִפָּתְחוּ שַׁעֲרֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם עַד־חֹם הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְעַד הֵם עֹמְדִים יָגִיפוּ הַדְּלָתֹות וֶאֱחֹזוּ וְהַעֲמֵיד מִשְׁמְרֹות יֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם אִישׁ בְּמִשְׁמָרֹו וְאִישׁ נֶגֶד בֵּיתֹו׃ |
