1THE WORDS {or} story of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: Now in the month of Chislev in the twentieth year [of the Persian king], as I was in the castle of Shushan,H1697H5166H1121H2446H2320H3691H6242H8141H7800H1002 2Hanani, one of my kinsmen, came with certain men from Judah, and I asked them about the surviving Jews who had escaped exile, and about Jerusalem.H2607H259H251H935H582H3063H7592H3064H6413H7604H7628H3389 3And they said to me, The remnant there in the province who escaped exile are in great trouble and reproach; the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its [fortified] gates are destroyed by fire.H559H7604H7604H7628H4082H1419H7451H2781H2346H3389H6555H8179H3341H784 4When I heard this, I sat down and wept and mourned for days and fasted and prayed [constantly] before the God of heaven,H8085H1697H3427H1058H56H3117H6684H6419H6440H430H8064 5And I said, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, Who keeps covenant, loving-kindness, {and} mercy for those who love Him and keep His commandments,H559H577H3068H430H8064H1419H3372H410H8104H1285H2617H157H8104H4687 6Let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open to listen to the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You day and night for the Israelites, Your servants, confessing the sins of the Israelites which we have sinned against You. Yes, I and my father's house have sinned.H241H7183H5869H6605H8085H8605H5650H6419H6440H3117H3119H3915H1121H3478H5650H3034H2403H1121H3478H2398H1H1004H2398 7We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, statutes, and ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.H2254H2254H8104H4687H2706H4941H6680H5650H4872 8Remember [earnestly] what You commanded Your servant Moses: If you transgress {and} are unfaithful, I will scatter you abroad among the nations;H2142H1697H6680H5650H4872H559H4603H6327H5971 9But if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the farthest part of the heavens [the expanse of outer space], yet will I gather them from there and will bring them to the place in which I have chosen to set My Name.H7725H8104H4687H6213H5080H7097H8064H6908H935H4725H977H7931H8034 10Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand.H5650H5971H6299H1419H3581H2389H3027 11O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to revere {and} fear Your name (Your nature and attributes); and prosper, I pray You, Your servant this day and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was cupbearer to the king.H136H577H241H7183H8605H5650H8605H5650H2655H3372H8034H6743H5650H3117H5414H7356H6440H376H4428H8248
