1
Remember unto me, O my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
2
Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein (though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
3
that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in
4
one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
5
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?
6
And they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
7
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,
8
wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou art building the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words.
9
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.
10
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
11
For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. But now,
12
O God, strengthen thou my hands.
13
And I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, 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.
14
And I 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.
15
And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
16
For 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.
17
Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
18
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth
19
day of
20
the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
21
And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard
22
thereof, 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 wrought of our God.
23
Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and
24
the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
25
For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife.
26
Also they spake of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him.
27
And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
28
Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
29
that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
30
And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand
31
on guard, let them shut the doors, and bar ye them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one
32
to be over against his house.
33
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
34
And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein:
35
These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and that returned unto Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;

And it came to pass when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, that the doorkeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.
2
And I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the citadel, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and fearedGod above many.
3
And I said to them that the gates of Jerusalem should not be opened until the sun was hot, and that they should shut the doors and bar them while they stood by; and that there should be appointed watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one over against his house.

Now the city was large and great; but the people in it were few, and no houses were built.

And it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

Hi quæsierunt scripturam suam in censu, et non invenerunt: et eiecti sunt de sacerdotio.
65
Dixitque Athersatha eis ut non manducarent de Sanctis sanctorum, donec staret Sacerdos doctus et eruditus.
66
Omnis multitudo quasi vir unus quadragintaduo millia trecenti sexaginta,
67
absque servis et ancillis eorum, qui erant septem millia trecenti trigintaseptem, et inter eos cantores, et cantatrices, ducenti quadragintaquinque.
68
Equi eorum, septingenti trigintasex: muli eorum, ducenti quadragintaquinque:
69
cameli eorum, quadringenti trigintaquinque: asini, sex millia septingenti viginti.
70
Nonnulli autem de principibus familiarum dederunt in opus. Athersatha dedit in thesaurum auri drachmas mille, phialas quinquaginta, tunicas sacerdotales quingentas triginta.
71
Et de principibus familiarum dederunt in thesaurum operis auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia ducentas.
72
Et quod dedit reliquus populus, auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia, et tunicas sacerdotales sexagintaseptem.
73
Habitaverunt autem Sacerdotes, et Levitæ, et ianitores, et cantores, et reliquum vulgus, et Nathinæi, et omnis Israel in civitatibus suis.

Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2
I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
3
I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house.”
4
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:
6
These are the children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city,
7
who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

42
The children of Harim: one thousand seventeen.
43
The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, of the children of Hodevah: seventy-four.
44
The singers: the children of Asaph: one hundred forty-eight.
45
The gatekeepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai: one hundred thirty-eight.
46
The temple servants: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha, the children of Tabbaoth,

58
the children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,
59
the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth Hazzebaim, and the children of Amon.
60
All the temple servants and the children of Solomon’s servants were three hundred ninety-two.
61
These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses, nor their offspring, whether they were of Israel:
62
The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda: six hundred forty-two.
63
Of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name.
64
These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.
65
The governor told them not to eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to minister with Urim and Thummim.
66
The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,
67
in addition to their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven. They had two hundred forty-five singing men and singing women.
68
Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six; their mules, two hundred forty-five;
69
their camels, four hundred thirty-five; their donkeys, six thousand seven hundred twenty.
70
Some from among the heads of fathers’ households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, and five hundred thirty priests’ garments.
71
Some of the heads of fathers’ households gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand two hundred minas of silver.
72
That which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, plus two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests’ garments.
73
So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities. When the seventh month had come, the children of Israel were in their cities.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
