Nehemiah 6 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Neh 6:1

Neh 6:1Now it happened, when it was reported to Sanvallat and Toviyah, and to Geshem the `Arvian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;)

Neh 6:2

Neh 6:2that Sanvallat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.

Neh 6:3

Neh 6:3I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I can't come down: why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?

Neh 6:4

Neh 6:4They sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.

Neh 6:5

Neh 6:5Then sent Sanvallat his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,

Neh 6:6

Neh 6:6in which was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Yehudim think to rebel; for which cause you are building the wall: and you would be their king, according to these words.

Neh 6:7

Neh 6:7You have also appointed prophets to preach of you at Yerushalayim, saying, There is a king in Yehudah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.

Neh 6:8

Neh 6:8Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as you say, but you feign them out of your own heart.

Neh 6:9

Neh 6:9For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it not be done. But now, God, strengthen you my hands.

Neh 6:10

Neh 6:10I went to the house of Shemayah the son of Delayah the son of Mehetav'el, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to kill you; yes, in the night will they come to kill you.

Neh 6:11

Neh 6:11I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

Neh 6:12

Neh 6:12I discerned, and, behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Toviyah and Sanvallat had hired him.

Neh 6:13

Neh 6:13For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

Neh 6:14

Neh 6:14Remember, my God, Toviyah and Sanvallat according to these their works, and also the prophetess No`adyah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

The Wall Is Finished

Neh 6:15

Neh 6:15So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

Neh 6:16

Neh 6:16It happened, when all our enemies heard of it, that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was worked of our God.

Neh 6:17

Neh 6:17Moreover in those days the nobles of Yehudah sent many letters to Toviyah, and the letters of Toviyah came to them.

Neh 6:18

Neh 6:18For there were many in Yehudah sworn to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shekhanyahu the son of Arach; and his son Yehochanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berekhyah as wife.

Neh 6:19

Neh 6:19Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Toviyah sent letters to put me in fear.
