Ezra 8:21King James Bible with Strong NumbersH7121Then I proclaimed[H8799] H6685a fastH5104there, at the riverH163of AhavaH6031, that we might afflict[H8692] H6440ourselves beforeH430our GodH1245, to seek[H8763] H3477of him a rightH1870wayH2945for us, and for our little onesH7399, and for all our substance.

H6908And they gathered together[H8735] H4709to MizpehH7579, and drew[H8799] H4325waterH8210, and poured it out[H8799] H6440beforeH3068the LORDH6684, and fasted[H8799] H3117on that dayH559, and said[H8799] H2398there, We have sinned[H8804] H3068against the LORDH8050. And SamuelH8199judged[H8799] H1121the childrenH3478of IsraelH4708in Mizpeh.
H2708And this shall be a statuteH5769for everH7637unto you: that in the seventhH2320monthH6218, on the tenthH2320day of the monthH6031, ye shall afflict[H8762] H5315your soulsH6213, and do[H8799] H4399no workH249at all, whether it be one of your own countryH1616, or a strangerH1481that sojourneth[H8802] H8432among you:
H3212And I will bring[H8689] H5787the blindH1870by a wayH3045that they knew[H8804] H1869not; I will lead[H8686] H5410them in pathsH3045that they have not known[H8804] H7760: I will make[H8799] H4285darknessH216lightH6440beforeH4625them, and crooked thingsH4334straightH1697. These thingsH6213will I do[H8804] H5800unto them, and not forsake[H8804] them.
H6685Is it such a fastH977that I have chosen[H8799] H3117? a dayH120for a manH6031to afflict[H8763] H5315his soulH3721? is it to bow down[H8800] H7218his headH100as a bulrushH3331, and to spread[H8686] H8242sackclothH665and ashesH7121under him ? wilt thou call[H8799] H2088thisH6685a fastH7522, and an acceptableH3117dayH3068to the LORD?
H1121Then all the childrenH3478of IsraelH5971, and all the peopleH5927, went up[H8799] H935, and came[H8799] H1004unto the houseH430of God[H8677] H1008 H1058, and wept[H8799] H3427, and sat[H8799] H6440there beforeH3068the LORDH6684, and fasted[H8799] H3117that dayH6153until evenH5927, and offered[H8686] H5930burnt offeringsH8002and peace offeringsH6440beforeH3068the LORD.
H5265Then we departed[H8799] H5104from the riverH163of AhavaH8147on the twelfthH6240 H7223day of the firstH2320monthH3212, to go[H8800] H3389unto JerusalemH3027: and the handH430of our GodH5337was upon us, and he delivered[H8686] H3709us from the handH341of the enemy[H8802] H693, and of such as lay in wait[H8802] H1870by the way.
H2199And he caused it to be proclaimed[H8686] H559and published[H8799] H5210through NinevehH2940by the decreeH4428of the kingH1419and his noblesH559, saying[H8800] H120, Let neither manH929nor beastH1241, herdH6629nor flockH2938, taste[H8799] H3972any thingH7462: let them not feed[H8799] H8354, nor drink[H8799] H4325water:
H3212Go[H8798] H3664, gather together[H8798] H3064all the JewsH4672that are present[H8737] H7800in ShushanH6684, and fast[H8798] H398ye for me, and neither eat[H8799] H8354nor drink[H8799] H7969threeH3117daysH3915, nightH3117or dayH5291: I also and my maidensH6684will fast[H8799] H3651likewise; and soH935will I go[H8799] H4428in unto the kingH1881, which is not according to the lawH6: and if I perish[H8804] H6, I perish[H8804] .
