NÉHÉMIE

(hébreu Nekhêmyâh =JVHH console).

Israël au temps de Néhémie Voir Atlas 31

1.

Patriote juif qui, avec Esdras, travailla à la restauration de Jérusalem, au V e siècle av. J. -C. Son oeuvre nous est connue par le livre biblique qui porte son nom (voir Esdras et Néhémie [livres d']).

Néhémie, fils de Hacalia, était échanson du roi perse Artaxerxès I er Longuemain (465-425 av. J. -C). Comme il était avec la cour à Suse, il reçut la visite de son frère Hanani et de quelques Juifs venus de Jérusalem (Ne 1:2). Les nouvelles qu'ils lui apportèrent du triste état dans lequel se trouvait encore Jérusalem, dont les murailles n'étaient même pas rebâties, lui causèrent un profond chagrin ; pendant trois mois, il jeûna et pria. Lorsque le roi sut la cause de sa tristesse, il lui accorda un congé et l'envoya à Jérusalem, avec le titre de gouverneur et les pleins pouvoirs pour rebâtir la muraille (Ne 2:1 5:14). Arrivé à Jérusalem en été 445 av. J. -C, Néhémie convoqua immédiatement les prêtres, les magistrats et les notables et les invita d'une manière pressante à rebâtir les murs (Ne 2:16,18). Malgré les entraves incessantes que mettaient à ce travail les ennemis des Juifs, Samballat de Beth-Horon, Tobija l'Ammonite et Guésem l'Arabe, grâce au zèle déployé par chacun, grâce surtout à l'énergie de Néhémie, les murs détruits furent relevés en 52 jours (Ne 2:19-6:19). Néhémie organisa un service de sûreté de la ville, à la tête duquel il plaça son frère Hanani et le commandant de la citadelle de David, Hanania (Ne 7:1,4). La ville se peupla de nouveau. La sécurité étant revenue, Esdras put alors convoquer l'assemblée du peuple, dans laquelle fut lu le livre de la Loi et renouvelée l'alliance avec Dieu ; voir (Ne 8) Esdras. Les murailles furent solennellement consacrées par les prêtres et les lévites (Ne 12:27,45).

Néhémie paraît être retourné en Perse en 432 av. J. -C. (Ne 5:14 13:6) Il fit plus tard un second séjour à Jérusalem et fut indigné de constater que les prescriptions morales et religieuses avaient été fort mal observées. Il stigmatisa les mariages avec des femmes étrangères, réclama une plus stricte observation de la loi du sabbat et réorganisa le service des dîmes et des revenus du temple (Ne 13). La Bible ne dit rien ni des dernières années de Néhémie, ni de sa mort.

Néhémie fut un laïque courageux, à la foi ardente, et qui ne chercha jamais à tirer un avantage personnel de sa situation (Ne 5:14,18 6:1,13).

Voir aux art. Esdras et Esdras-Néhémie (livres d') la suggestion faite par quelques historiens d'intervertir l'ordre chronologique et de faire revenir à Jérusalem Néhémie avant Esdras. Le relèvement des murs de la ville par Néhémie aurait permis à Esdras son oeuvre religieuse. Aug. G.

2.

Un des chefs du peuple qui, avec Zorobabel, ramenèrent en Juda les captifs de Babylone, libérés par Cyrus (Esd 2:2 parallèle Ne 7:7).

3.

Chef judéen qui participa à la reconstruction des murs de Jérusalem (Ne 3:16).

      Esdras 2

      2 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

      Néhémie 1

      2 that Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

      Néhémie 2

      1 It happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad before in his presence.
      16 The rulers didn't know where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.
      18 I told them of the hand of my God which was good on me, as also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. They said, "Let's rise up and build." So they strengthened their hands for the good work.
      19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they ridiculed us, and despised us, and said, "What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?"
      20 Then answered I them, and said to them, "The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem."

      Néhémie 3

      Néhémie 4

      1 But it happened that when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
      2 He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, since they are burned?"
      3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, "What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall."
      4 "Hear, our God; for we are despised; and turn back their reproach on their own head, give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;
      5 don't cover their iniquity, and don't let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted the builders."
      6 So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height: for the people had a mind to work.
      7 But it happened that when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, then they were very angry;
      8 and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein.
      9 But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
      10 Judah said, "The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall."
      11 Our adversaries said, "They shall not know, neither see, until we come into their midst, and kill them, and cause the work to cease."
      12 It happened that when the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."
      13 Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
      14 I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, "Don't be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses."
      15 It happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, that we returned all of us to the wall, everyone to his work.
      16 It happened from that time forth, that half of my servants worked in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
      17 They all built the wall and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands worked in the work, and with the other held his weapon;
      18 and the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by me.
      19 I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, "The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, one far from another.
      20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally there to us. Our God will fight for us."
      21 So we worked in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.
      22 Likewise at the same time said I to the people, "Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day."
      23 So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.

      Néhémie 5

      1 Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews.
      2 For there were that said, "We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live."
      3 Some also there were that said, "We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine."
      4 There were also some who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral.
      5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Behold, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. Neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards."
      6 I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
      7 Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, "You exact usury, everyone of his brother." I held a great assembly against them.
      8 I said to them, "We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?" Then they held their peace, and found never a word.
      9 Also I said, "The thing that you do is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?
      10 I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury.
      11 Please restore to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them."
      12 Then they said, "We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as you say." Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.
      13 Also I shook out my lap, and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that doesn't perform this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied." All the assembly said, "Amen," and praised Yahweh. The people did according to this promise.
      14 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor.
      15 But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, besides forty shekels of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people: but I didn't do so, because of the fear of God.
      16 Yes, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered there to the work.
      17 Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, one hundred fifty men, besides those who came to us from among the nations that were around us.
      18 Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I didn't demand the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy on this people.
      19 Remember to me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.

      Néhémie 6

      1 Now it happened, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;)
      2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono." But they intended to harm me.
      3 I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I can't come down. Why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?"
      4 They sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them the same way.
      5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,
      6 in which was written, "It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.
      7 You have also appointed prophets to preach of you at Jerusalem, saying, 'There is a king in Judah!' Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together."
      8 Then I sent to him, saying, "There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your own heart."
      9 For they all would have made us afraid, saying, "Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done. But now, strengthen my hands."
      10 I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, "Let us meet together in God's house, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you; yes, in the night will they come to kill you."
      11 I said, "Should such a man as I flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."
      12 I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
      13 He hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
