Job's book

Then Job answered the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)  and said,:

 “I know that You can do everything, 

and that no thought can be withheld from You".

‘Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have 

I uttered what I understood not, 

things too wonderful for me, 

which I knew not.

Hear, I beseech You, and I will speak; 

I will question You, and declare You unto Me.

I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, 

but now mine eye see You. 

Therefore 

"I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes”

Job 42:1-6

So the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) 

Blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand sheasses.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

And he called the name of the first Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Kerenhappuch.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.

After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his sons and his sons’ sons, even four generations.

So Job died, being old and full of days.

Job 42:12-17

"Nehemiah Bible book"

The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah.

 And it came to pass in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in the palace at Shushan, that Hanani one of my brethren came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left behind from the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

And they said unto me, 

“The remnant who are left behind from the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire”

And it came to pass when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days and fasted, and prayed before the KING YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty of heaven, and said: 

“I beseech thee, O KING YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty of heaven, the Great and fearsome Almighty God, who keeps covenant and mercy for those who love Him and observe His commandments, let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before YOU now day and night for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both I and my father’s house have sinned.

We have dealt very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments which You commanded Your servant Moses.

Remember, I beseech You, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, 

"If you transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations; but if you turn unto Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though there were some of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set My Name there"

Now these are Your servants 

and Your people, 

whom You has redeemed 

by Your Great Power and 

by Your strong hand.

O YHVH (YEHOVAH), I beseech You, let now Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your Name; and prosper, I pray YOU, Your servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man”. For I was the king’s cupbearer.

Nehemiah 1

"Ezra's Bible book"

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the Word of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and put it also in writing, saying,

“Thus said Cyrus king of Persia: ‘The  Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and He has charged me to build Him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

Who is there among you of all His people? His  Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the  Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) of Israel (He is the Almighty), which is in Jerusalem.

And whosoever remainder in any place where he sojourner, let the men of his place help him with silver and with gold, and with goods and with beasts, besides the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.”

Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all those whose spirit  Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) had raised, to go up to build the house of the  Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) which is in Jerusalem.

And all those who were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.

Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem and had put them in the house of his gods; even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them over to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.

Ezra 1:1-8

And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.

Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, and built the altar of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) of Israel to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH).

Ezra 3:1-2

Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building the temple unto the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) of Israel, then they came to Zerubbabel and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, “Let us build with you, for we seek your Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) as you do; and we have done sacrifice unto Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us up hither”.

But Zerubbabel and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel said unto them, 

“You have nothing to do with us in building a house unto our Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH); but we ourselves together will build unto the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us”.

Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, and hired counselors against them to frustrate their purpose all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.

And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.

And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel and the rest of their companions wrote unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.

Ezra 4:1-7

Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions who dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river: 

“Peace, and at such a time.The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me. And I commanded, and search has been made, and it is found that this city in old times hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein. There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom were paid unto them. Give you now command to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not built until another command shall be given from me.

Ezra 4:17-21

Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.

Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) helping them.

At the same time came to them Tattenai, governor on this side of the river, and Shetharboznai and their companions, and said thus unto them: 

“Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?

Ezra 5:1-3

But the eye of their Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease until the matter came to Darius, and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.

Ezra 5:5

Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a scroll, and therein was a record thus written:

“In the first year of Cyrus the king, the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) at Jerusalem: 

Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid  the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits, with three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.

And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought unto Babylon, be restored and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH).

Ezra 6:1-5

Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

And the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) who hath caused His name to dwell there, destroy all kings and people who shall put forth their hand to alter and to destroy this house of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) which is at Jerusalem. 

I Darius have made a decree. 

Let it be done with speed”.

Ezra 6:11-12

And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Idd. And they built and finished it, according to the commandment of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus and Darius and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

And this house was finished on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

Ezra 6:14-15
