Nehemiah On Who Is G-d And His Torah/Laws To His People

This is the best chapter to clear any doubt about the doctrines or teachings of Paul and the rest of the Greek book – New Testament.

If the New Testament is true, this chapter must not be in the Holy Bible (let alone in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament).

Read or listen, if forsaking or not obeying G-d’s Law results in blessings and finding favor in G-d’s eyes.

“A Recollection Of The Jews’ Journey With The Torah”

“G-d Of Forgiveness, Gracious And Compassionate, Slow To Anger And Abundant In Kindness”

The offspring of Israel had separated themselves from all the alien people, and then they rose and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
8:2
… “Rise up and bless Hashem your God, from This World to the World to Come!” “Let them bless Your glorious Name, which is exalted above every blessing and praise!”
:5
You alone are Hashem; You made the heavens, the most exalted heavens and all their legion, the earth and all that is upon it, the seas and all that is them, and you give them all life; and the heavenly legion bows to You.
:6
You are Hashem the God, You selected Abram… and changed his name to Abraham.
:7
You found his heart faithful before You, and You sealed the covenant with him… for You are righteous.
:8
You imposed signs and wonders upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants and upon all the people of his land, for you knew that they had sinned willfully against them; and You brought Yourself renown, as clear as this very day.
:10
You descended upon Mount Sinai and spoke to them from heaven; You gave them righteous laws and true teachings, and beneficial decrees and commandments.
:13
You made known Your sacred Sabbath to them; and You instructed them with commandments, decrees, and teachings through the hand of Your servant Moses.
:14
But they and our forefathers sinned willfully; they stiffened their necks and did not listen to your commandments.
:16
They refused to listen, and they did not remember Your marvels that You had performed for them; … But You are the God of forgiveness, Gracious and Compassionate, Slow to anger and Abundant in kindness, so You did not forsake them,
:17
But You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the Wilderness; …
:19
You bestowed Your good spirit to make them understand. …
:20
For forty years You sustained them in the Wilderness and they lacked nothing; their clothing did not wear out and their feet did not swell.
:21
Then You gave them kingdoms and nations, and separated them into a corner; …
:22
You multiplied their children like the stars of the heavens, and You brought them to the land about which You had spoken to their forefathers that they would come and take possession.
:23
Then they became recalcitrant and rebelled against You, casting Your Torah behind their backs. They killed Your prophets who had warned them in order to make them return to You, and they committed great provocations.
:26
So You delivered them into the hands of their enemies and they afflicted them. But at the time of their affliction they would cry out to You and You would hear from Heaven; and in Your abundant compassion You would send them saviors who would save them from the hand of their enemies.
:27
But when it would ease for them they would revert to doing evil before You, so You would abandon them into the hand of their enemies, who would oppress them. … and in Your compassion You would rescue them numerous times.
:28
You warned them, to return them to Your Torah, but they acted wickedly and did not listen to Your commandments and transgressed through Your laws, which a man should do in order that he may live through them. …
:29
Yet You extended [grace] to them for many years, and You warned them by Your spirit, through the hand of Your prophets, …
:30
In Your abundant compassion You did not annihilate them and You did not abandon them, for You are gracious and compassionate God.
:31
You are righteous in all that has come upon us, for You have acted truthfully, and we have been wicked,
:33
… and they did not repent of their wicked deeds.
:35

1 And on the twenty-fourth day of this month, the Children of Israel gathered with fasting and with sackcloth and [with] earth upon them.
2 And the seed of Israel separated from all the foreigners, and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their forefathers.
3 And they rose in their place, and they read in the scroll of the Law of the Lord their God a fourth of the day, and another fourth they confessed and prostrated themselves to the Lord their God.
4 And on the step of the Levites stood: Jeshua and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sharebiah, Bani, [and] Chenani, and they cried out with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
5 And the Levites said, namely Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, [and] Pethahiah, “Rise, bless the Lord your God from everlasting to everlasting, and they shall bless Your glorious Name, for He is exalted above every blessing and praise.
6 You alone are the Lord; You made the heavens, the heavens of the heavens and all their host, the earth and all that is upon it, the seas and all that is in them, and You give life to them all, and the heavenly host bow down before You.
7 You are the Lord God, Who chose Abram, took him out of Ur of the Chaldees and made his name Abraham.
8 And You found his heart faithful before You, and You made the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give to his seed, and You kept Your words, for You are righteous.
9 And You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and You heard their cry by the Sea of Reeds.
10 And You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh and against all his servants and against all the people of his land, for You knew that they dealt wickedly with them, and You made for Yourself a name as of this day.
11 And You split the sea before them, and they passed in the midst of the sea on dry land, and their pursuers You cast into the depths, like a stone in mighty waters.
12 And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day, and with a pillar of fire at night to illuminate for them the way in which they should go.
13 And You descended upon Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven, and You gave them right ordinances and laws of truth, good statutes and commandments.
14 And Your holy Sabbath You made known to them, and commandments and statutes and the Law You commanded them, by the hand of Your servant Moses.
15 And bread from heaven You gave them for their hunger, and You took water out of a rock for them for their thirst, and You said to them to come to inherit the land that You raised Your hand to give them.
16 But they and our forefathers behaved wickedly, and they stiffened their necks and did not hearken to Your commandments.
17 And they refused to listen, and they did not remember Your wonders that You performed with them, and they stiffened their necks, and they appointed a leader to return to their bondage because of their rebelliousness, but You are a God of forgivenesses, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, with much loving-kindness, and You did not forsake them.
18 Although they had made themselves a molten calf, and said, ‘This is your god who brought you up from Egypt,’ and they committed great provocations.
19 But You,with Your abundant mercies, did not forsake them in the desert; the pillar of cloud did not turn away from them by day to lead them on the way, neither did the pillar of fire at night to illuminate for them the way in which they should go.
20 And You gave Your good spirit to make them understand, and You did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, and You gave them water for their thirst.
21 And forty years You sustained them in the desert; they did not want. Their garments did not wear out, and their feet did not swell.
22 And You gave them kingdoms and peoples, and You separated them into a corner, and they inherited the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og the king of Bashan.
23 And You multiplied their children like the stars of the heavens, and You brought them to the Land that You had promised their forefathers, to come [and] inherit [it].
24 And the children came and inherited the land, and You vanquished the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, before them, and You delivered them into their hands, and their kings and the peoples of the land to do to them as they wished.
25 And they captured fortified cities and fat soil, and they inherited houses full of all good, hewn cisterns, vineyards, and olive trees, and fruit trees in abundance, and they ate and were sated, and they became fat, and they enjoyed pleasures with Your great goodness.
26 And they disobeyed and rebelled against You, and they cast Your Law behind their backs, and they slew Your prophets who warned them, to bring them back to You, and they committed great provocations.
27 And You delivered them into the hands of their adversaries who distressed them, and at the time of their distress they cried out to You, and You heard from heaven, and according to Your abundant mercies, you gave them saviors, who saved them from the hands of their adversaries.
28 But when they had rest, they would revert to do evil before You, and You left them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them, and they returned and cried out to You, and from heaven You heard and rescued them according to Your mercy many times.
29 And You warned them-to bring them back to Your Law, but they behaved wickedly and did not heed Your commandments, and they sinned against Your ordinances, which man should do and live with them, and they presented a stubborn shoulder, and they stiffened their necks and did not hearken.
30 But You extended [mercy] upon them for many years, and You warned them with Your spirit by the hand of Your prophets, but they did not incline their ears, and You delivered them into the hands of the peoples of the lands.
31 But with Your abundant mercies You did not wreak destruction upon them, and You did not forsake them, for You are a gracious and merciful God.
32 And now, our God, the great, mighty, and awesome God, Who keeps the covenant and the loving- kindness, do not belittle all the travail that has befallen us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our forefathers, and all Your people from the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.
33 And You are just with all that has come upon us, for You have dealt truly and we have dealt wickedly.
34 And our kings, our princes, our priests, and our forefathers did not keep Your Law and did not hearken to Your commandments and to Your warnings, which You warned them.
35 And they, in their kingdom and with Your abundant goodness, which You gave them, and in the wide and fat land that You placed before them, they did not serve You, and they did not repent of their evil deeds.
36 Behold, today we are slaves, and the land that You gave our forefathers to eat its fruit and its goodness-behold we are slaves upon it.
37 And it lavishes its produce upon the kings whom You have appointed over us because of our sins, and they rule over our bodies and over our cattle as they wish, and we are in great distress.
