Chapter 8.

00:02.100 --> 00:06.080
These are now the chief of their fathers,
and this is the genealogy of them that

00:06.080 --> 00:09.120
went up with me from Babylon, in the reign
of Artaxerxes the king.

00:09.840 --> 00:14.720
Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom,
of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel,

00:15.340 --> 00:20.280
of the sons of David, Hattush,
of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of

00:20.280 --> 00:24.800
Phaorosh, Zechariah, and with him were
reckoned by genealogy of the males,

00:24.800 --> 00:25.900
and hundred and fifty.

00:26.700 --> 00:31.380
Of the sons of Pahath-Moab, Eliho-Enai,
the son of Zerahiah, and with him two

00:31.380 --> 00:31.980
hundred males.

00:32.660 --> 00:36.840
Of the sons of Shechaniah, the son of
Jehaziel, and with him three hundred

00:36.840 --> 00:37.200
males.

00:37.800 --> 00:42.320
Of the sons also of Adin, Ebed,
the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty

00:42.320 --> 00:42.660
males.

00:43.360 --> 00:47.880
And of the sons of Elam, Jeshea,
the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy

00:47.880 --> 00:48.220
males.

00:48.820 --> 00:53.100
And of the sons of Shephetiah,
Zebediah, the son of Michael, and with him

00:53.100 --> 00:53.860
four score males.

00:54.360 --> 00:58.800
Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of
Jehiel, and with him two hundred and

00:58.800 --> 00:59.440
eighteen males.

01:00.180 --> 01:04.300
And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of
Josephiah, and with him one hundred and

01:04.300 --> 01:05.000
three score males.

01:05.600 --> 01:10.140
And of the sons of Bebi, Zechariah,
the son of Bebi, and with him twenty and

01:10.140 --> 01:10.640
eight males.

01:11.480 --> 01:15.680
And of the sons of Asgad, Johanan,
the son of Hakatan, and with him one

01:15.680 --> 01:16.540
hundred and ten males.

01:17.240 --> 01:20.920
And of the last sons of Adonikon,
whose names are these, Eliphelet,

01:21.240 --> 01:24.240
Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them three
score males.

01:24.980 --> 01:29.760
Of the sons also of Bigvi, Uthai,
and Zabud, and with them seventy males.

01:30.840 --> 01:35.220
And I gathered them together to the river
that runneth to Ahava, and there abode we

01:35.220 --> 01:36.420
in tents three days.

01:37.000 --> 01:40.840
And I viewed the people and the priests,
and found there none of the sons of Levi.

01:41.760 --> 01:45.720
Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel,
for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan,

01:46.200 --> 01:49.700
and for Jerob, and for Elnathan,
and for Nathan, and for Zechariah,

01:50.120 --> 01:51.520
and for Meshulam, chief man.

01:52.100 --> 01:54.940
Also for Joirib, and for Elnathan,
men of understanding.

01:55.620 --> 01:59.240
And I sent them with commandment unto
Iddo, the chief at the place Cassiphia.

01:59.720 --> 02:03.380
And I told them what they should say unto
Iddo, and his brethren, the Nethanims,

02:03.760 --> 02:07.900
at the place Cassiphia, that they should
bring unto us ministers for the house of

02:07.900 --> 02:08.300
our God.

02:09.180 --> 02:13.020
And by the good hand of our God upon us,
they brought us a man of understanding,

02:13.020 --> 02:18.020
of the sons of Marlai, the son of Levi,
the son of Israel, and Sherobiah with his

02:18.020 --> 02:22.260
sons and his brethren, eighteen,
and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshea,

02:22.460 --> 02:25.580
of the sons of Marari, his brethren and
their sons, twenty.

02:26.200 --> 02:30.360
Also of the Nethanims, whom David and the
princes had appointed for the service of

02:30.360 --> 02:34.760
the Levites, two hundred and twenty
Nethanims, all of them were expressed by

02:34.760 --> 02:35.060
name.

02:36.080 --> 02:39.600
Then I proclaimed a fast there,
at the river of Ahavah, that we might

02:39.600 --> 02:43.360
afflict ourselves before our God,
to seek of him a right way for us,

02:43.620 --> 02:45.880
and for our little ones, and for all our
substance.

02:46.480 --> 02:50.180
For I was ashamed to require of the king a
band of soldiers and horsemen,

02:50.500 --> 02:52.140
to help us against the enemy in the way.

02:52.900 --> 02:56.900
Because we had spoken unto the king,
saying, The hand of our God is upon all

02:56.900 --> 03:01.340
them for good that seek him, but his power
and his wrath is against all them that

03:01.340 --> 03:01.960
forsake him.

03:02.480 --> 03:06.640
So we fasted, and besought our God for
this, and he was entreated of us.

03:07.240 --> 03:11.940
Then I separated twelve of the chief of
the priests, Sherabiah, Hashabiah,

03:12.180 --> 03:15.440
and ten of their brethren with them,
and weighed unto them the silver,

03:15.580 --> 03:18.880
and the gold, and the vessels,
even the offering of the house of our God,

03:19.280 --> 03:22.360
which the king, and his counsellors,
and his lords, and all Israel there

03:22.360 --> 03:23.340
present, had offered.

03:24.140 --> 03:28.500
I even weighed unto their hand six hundred
and fifty talents of silver, and silver

03:28.500 --> 03:33.860
vessels, and hundred talents, and of gold,
and hundred talents, also twenty basins of

03:33.860 --> 03:38.800
gold, of a thousand rams, and two vessels
of fine copper, precious as gold.

03:39.260 --> 03:44.560
And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the
Lord, the vessels are holy also,

03:45.040 --> 03:49.020
and the silver and the gold are a freewill
offering unto the Lord God of your

03:49.020 --> 03:49.380
fathers.

03:50.160 --> 03:53.840
Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh
them before the chief of the priests,

03:53.920 --> 03:58.360
and the Levites, and chief of the fathers
of Israel at Jerusalem, in the chambers of

03:58.360 --> 03:59.160
the house of the Lord.

04:00.000 --> 04:03.660
So took the priests and the Levites the
weight of the silver, and the gold,

04:03.900 --> 04:07.060
and the vessels, to bring them to
Jerusalem, and to the house of our God.

04:07.900 --> 04:11.660
Then we departed from the river of Ahava
on the twelfth day of the first month,

04:11.980 --> 04:12.980
to go unto Jerusalem.

04:13.700 --> 04:17.260
And the hand of our God was upon us,
and he delivered us from the hand of the

04:17.260 --> 04:19.700
enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the
way.

04:20.400 --> 04:23.120
And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there
three days.

04:24.020 --> 04:27.340
Now on the fourth day was the silver,
and the gold, and the vessels weighed in

04:27.340 --> 04:31.080
the house of our God by the hand of
Merimoth, the son of Uriah the priest.

04:31.480 --> 04:33.880
And with him was Eliezer, the son of
Phinehas.

04:34.560 --> 04:39.060
And with them was Jezebel, the son of
Jeshua, and Noah, the son of Benuai,

04:39.400 --> 04:42.080
Levites, by number and by weight of every
one.

04:42.420 --> 04:44.160
And all the weight was written at that
time.

04:45.040 --> 04:48.340
Also the children of those that had been
carried away, which were come out of the

04:48.340 --> 04:52.560
captivity, offered burnt offerings unto
the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all

04:52.560 --> 04:57.840
Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and
seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin

04:57.840 --> 04:58.160
offering.

04:58.900 --> 05:01.220
All this was a burnt offering unto the
Lord.

05:01.820 --> 05:05.260
And they delivered the king's commissions
unto the king's lieutenants, and to the

05:05.260 --> 05:08.240
governors on this side of the river,
and they furthered the people and the

05:08.240 --> 05:08.820
house of God.
