¹ The words of Nehemiah the sonne of Hachaliah. And it came to passe in the moneth Chisleu, in the twentieth yeere, as I was in Shushan the palace;

² That Hanani, one of my brethren came, he and certaine men of Iudah, and I asked them concerning the Iewes that had escaped, which were left of the captiuitie, and concerning Ierusalem.

³ And they said vnto me, The remnant that are left of the captiuitie there in the prouince, are in great affliction and reproch: the wall of Ierusalem also is broken downe, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire.

⁴ ¶ And it came to passe when I heard these words, that I sate downe and wept, and mourned certaine dayes, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heauen,

⁵ And said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of heauen, the great and terrible God, that keepeth couenant and mercie for them that loue him, and obserue his commandements:

⁶ Let thine eare now be attentiue, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest heare the prayer of thy seruant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy seruants, and confesse the sinnes of the children of Israel, which wee haue sinned against thee: both I, and my fathers house haue sinned.

⁷ We haue dealt very corruptly against thee, and haue not kept the commandements, nor the statutes, nor the iudgements, which thou commandedst thy seruant Moses.

⁸ Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy seruant Moses, saying, If yee transgresse, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

⁹ But if ye turne vnto me, and keepe my commandements, and doe them: though there were of you cast out vnto the vttermost part of the heauen, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them vnto the place that I haue chosen, to set my Name there.

¹⁰ Now these are thy seruants, and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.

¹¹ O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine eare be attentiue to the prayer of thy seruant, and to the prayer of thy seruants, who desire to feare thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy seruant this day, and grant him mercie in the sight of this man. For I was the kings cup-bearer.

Nehemiah is introduced in the first chapter as the son of Hachaliah. In the month of Chisleu, or Kislev, was the ninth month in the twentieth year would have been 445B.C. Shushan the palace, or better Susa, the Citadel was the winter resort of the persian kings, Nehemial was concerned about the remnant that was left in captivity, in an administrative division of a country, he began by asking his brother an certain men of Judah, about the Jew that escaped captivity and those that didn't, he than learned they were in distress, and burdened, and his eyes began to fill with water and he wanted and mourned fasted and prayed before our father, than he reminded God that he keepth covenant,and his mercies that are new every morning, for those who love him and keep his commandments, he asked the the lord to open the eyes of his he hasart, and lend an ear to here what his servant has to say, for I have sinned and fallen short of thine glory, Israel has sinned, and none of us has kept your commandments, that you commanded Moses, saying if you keep not my commandments, I will scatter you all over the nations, but if you keep them, I Will take you to the place where I have set my name, old lord I strongly request that you here me when I pray, I am redeemed by your power and your might, I am the one who drank from the kings cup to make sure that it was safe for the king. And the word of the lord is blessed.

comment to Pastordale's : you stated" Nehemiah seems to be call from disobedient." Nehemiah was a Kings' cupbearer inmagine his character.

Pastor Edward Everette's Nehemiah Chapter 1 comment on 12/30/2011, 3:31am...

It mean that GOD has a work for us to do.by going into highway,malls,market places,and our home and tell of his mercy and grace.and that he wants all men and women to come unto him.and be safe.it time out for playing church. It time to put christ back in home and schools and in the street.

more to the point, If you type a search for "Buku Puisi utk Yesus' Site - GOD's nama on Israel "

Another place where GOD has placed His name, Is in/on Christ. Though we have been cast out (by sin) to the ends of heaven, If HE (Christ) be lifted up (Exhault ye the name of the LORD) He shall draw all men unto HIM. He writes the commandments on our heart, To as many as recieved HIM, gave He power to become the children of GOD. If we hear His commandments, and repent, then we, who like sheep, have been scattered, shall return to the place that GOD has set His name (Yeshua/ Jesus.) The first letters in each word above Christ on the cross (marking who the lamb belongs to) are Y H V H. GOD's name

nehemiah, love for his people and the willingness to come out of his comfort zone, and do a mighty work, and gave explicite details, what to do in time of trouble, fast, pray seek his face, and how the doors was open, walk in the blessing.

Pastordale's Nehemiah Chapter 1 comment on 11/07/2011, 8:39am...

Nehemiah seems to be a call from disobedient behavior and walk in the call of God. This call requires us to be obedient to him.
It is good to know that if I mess up badly that there is a place where He has provided lots of mercy and grace; just waiting for me for the asking, repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. amen
God is waiting to bring us back into his special gathering place where we will never ever be cast from his prescence again. God bless. pastordale

Mariann's Nehemiah Chapter 1 comment on 10/28/2011, 7:44am...

This chapter of Nehemiah seems to say to me that God is a mericiful God and no matter who we are if we stray or commit sin he will bring us back to a place of restoration. God requires obedience of his word; However when we are disobedient there are promised consequences.Thsi chapter also seems to say that that the captives were praying for God's help and he provided them help from Nehemiah. God will always have a ram in the bush for those of us who repent and are backed up against the wall.
