Chapter 1 The lawe is read â— They separate from them all straungers 15 Nehemia reproueth â–ª them that breake the Sabbath â–ª â— An ordinaunce to serue God 1 ANd that day dyd they read in the booke

bread and water but hired Balaam against them that he should curse them and our God turned the curse into a blessing 3 Nowe when they had hearde the law they separated from Israel euery one that had mixt him selfe therin 4 And before this had the priest Eliasib the ouersight of the treasurie of the house of our God and he was kynsman vnto Tobia â— And had made hym a great chamber and there had

And I perceaued that the portions of the Leuites had not ben geuen them and that euery one was fled to his land euen the Leuites and singers that executed the worke 11 Then reproued I the rulers and sayd Why is the house of God forsaken And I gathered them together and set them in their place 12 Then brought all Iuda the tythes of corne and wine and oyle vnto the treasure 13 And I made treasures ouer the treasure euen Selemiah the priest and Zadoc the scribe and of the Leuites Phadaâ—a and vnder their hand was Hanan the sonne of Zacur the sonne of Mathania for they were counted faythful and their office was to distribute the portions vnto their brethren 14 Thinke vpon me O my God herein and wype not out my mercie that I haue shewed on the house of my God and on the offices therof 15 And the same time sawe I in Iuda some treading wine presses on the Sabbath and bringing in sheues and which laded asses also with wine grapes and figges and all burthens and brought them into Hierusalem vpon the Sabbath day And I rebuked them earnestly the same day that they solde the vittayles 16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein which brought fish and all maner of ware and solde on the Sabbath

before the Sabbath I commaunded to shut the gates â–ª and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath and some of my seruauntes set I at the gates that there shoulde no burthen be brought in on the Sabbath day 20 Then remayned the chapmen and marchauntes once or twyse ouer night without Hierusalem with all maner of wares 21 Then reproued I them sore and sayde vnto them Why tary ye all night about the wall If ye do it once againe I will lay handes vpon you From that time foorth came they no more on the Sabbath 22 And I said vnto the Leuites that they should clense them selues and that they shoulde come and kepe the gates to halowe the Sabboth day Thinke vpon me O my God concerning this also and spare me according to thy great mercie 23 In those dayes also sawe I Iewes that maried wyues of Asdod of Ammon and of Moab 24 And their children spake halfe in the speach of Asdod and could not speake in the Iewes language but according to the language of the one people and of

vpon them that defile the presthod and the couenaunt of the presthod and of the Leuites 30 Thus clensed I them from all such as were outlandishe and appoynted the courses of the priestes and Leuites
