Neh 6:1 Now it came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)

וישל֨ח סנבל֤ט וג֙שם֙ אל֣י לאמ֔ר לכ֞ה ונֽועד֥ה יחד֛ו בכפיר֖ים בבקע֣ת אונ֑ו וה֙מה֙ חֽשב֔ים לעש֥ות ל֖י רעֽה׃

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

ואשלח֨ה עליה֤ם מלאכים֙ לאמ֔ר מלאכ֤ה גדולה֙ אנ֣י עש֔ה ול֥א אוכ֖ל לר֑דת ל֣מה תשב֤ת המלאכה֙ כאש֣ר ארפ֔ה וירדת֖י אליכֽם׃

Neh 6:3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?

וישלח֥ו אל֛י כדב֥ר הז֖ה ארב֣ע פעמ֑ים ואש֥יב אות֖ם כדב֥ר הזֽה׃

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

וישלח֩ אל֨י סנבל֜ט כדב֥ר הז֛ה פ֥עם חמיש֖ית אֽת־נער֑ו ואג֥רת פתוח֖ה בידֽו׃

Neh 6:5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

כת֣וב ב֗ה בגוי֤ם נשמע֙ וגשמ֣ו אמ֔ר את֤ה והיהודים֙ חשב֣ים למר֔וד על־כ֛ן את֥ה בונ֖ה החומ֑ה ואת֗ה הו֤ה להם֙ למ֔לך כדבר֖ים האֽלה׃

Neh 6:6 Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.

וגם־נביא֡ים העמ֣דת לקרא֩ על֨יך בֽירושל֜ם לאמ֗ר מ֚לך בֽיהוד֔ה ועתה֙ ישמ֣ע למ֔לך כדבר֣ים הא֑לה ועת֣ה לכ֔ה ונֽועצ֖ה יחדֽו׃

Neh 6:7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.

ואשלח֤ה ואשלח֤ה אליו֙ אליו֙ לאמ֔ר לאמ֔ר ל֤א ל֤א נֽהיה֙ נֽהיה֙ כדבר֣ים כדבר֣ים הא֔לה הא֔לה אש֖ר אש֖ר את֣ה את֣ה אומ֑ר אומ֑ר כ֥י כ֥י מֽלבך֖ מֽלבך֖ את֥ה את֥ה בודֽאם

Neh 6:8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.

כ֣י כל֗ם מיֽרא֤ים אות֙נו֙ לאמ֔ר ירפ֧ו ידיה֛ם מן־המלאכ֖ה ול֣א תעש֑ה ועת֖ה חז֥ק את־ידֽי׃

Neh 6:9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.

ואני־ב֗אתי ב֣ית שֽמֽעי֧ה בן־דלי֛ה בן־מהֽיטבא֖ל וה֣וא עצ֑ור וי֡אמר נועד֩ אל־ב֨ית האלה֜ים אל־ת֣וך הֽהיכ֗ל ונסגרה֙ דלת֣ות ההיכ֔ל כ֚י בא֣ים להרג֔ך ול֖ילה בא֥ים להרגֽך׃

Neh 6:10 Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, 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 slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.

ואמר֗ה הא֤יש כמ֙וני֙ יבר֔ח ומ֥י כמ֛וני אשר־יב֥וא אל־ההיכ֖ל וח֑י ל֖א אבֽוא׃

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

ואכ֕ירה והנ֥ה לֽא־אלה֖ים שלח֑ו כ֤י הנבואה֙ דב֣ר על֔י וטובי֥ה וסנבל֖ט שכרֽו׃

Neh 6:12 And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

למ֤ען שכור֙ ה֔וא למֽען־איר֥א ואֽעשה־כ֖ן וחט֑אתי והי֤ה להם֙ לש֣ם ר֔ע למ֖ען יחֽרפֽוני׃

Neh 6:13 Therefore 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.

זכר֧ה אלה֛י לטובי֥ה ולסנבל֖ט כמעש֣יו א֑לה וג֨ם לנועדי֤ה הנביאה֙ ולי֣תר הנביא֔ים אש֥ר הי֖ו מיֽרא֥ים אותֽי׃

Neh 6:14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

ותשלם֙ הֽחומ֔ה בעשר֥ים וחמש֖ה לאל֑ול לחמש֥ים ושנ֖ים יֽום׃

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

ויה֗י כאש֤ר שֽמעו֙ כל־א֣ויב֔ינו ויֽרא֗ו כל־הגוים֙ אש֣ר סבֽיבת֔ינו ויפל֥ו מא֖ד בעיניה֑ם וי֣דע֔ו כ֚י מא֣ת אלה֔ינו נעשת֖ה המלאכ֥ה הזֽאת׃

Neh 6:16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.

ג֣ם׀ בימ֣ים הה֗ם מרב֞ים חר֤י יהודה֙ אגר֣תיה֔ם הולכ֖ות על־טובי֑ה ואש֥ר לטובי֖ה בא֥ות אליהֽם׃

Neh 6:17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.

כי־רב֣ים בֽיהוד֗ה בעל֤י שבועה֙ ל֔ו כי־חת֥ן ה֖וא לשכני֣ה בן־אר֑ח וֽיהוחנ֣ן בנ֔ו לק֕ח את־בת־משל֖ם ב֥ן בֽרכיֽה׃

Neh 6:18 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

ג֣ם טובת֗יו הי֤ו אמרים֙ לפנ֔י ודבר֕י הי֥ו מוציא֖ים ל֑ו אגר֛ות של֥ח טובי֖ה ליֽראֽני׃

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