Neh 1:5	And said ⁵⁵⁹ , I beseech ⁵⁷⁷ thee, O LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ God ⁴³⁰ of heaven ⁸⁰⁶⁴, the great ¹⁴¹⁹ and terrible ³³⁷² God ⁴¹⁰, that keepeth ⁸¹⁰⁴ covenant¹²⁸⁵ and mercy ²⁶¹⁷ for them that love ¹⁵⁷ him and observe ⁸¹⁰⁴ his commandments ⁴⁶⁸⁷:
Neh 9:8	And foundest ⁴⁶⁷² his heart ³⁸²⁴ faithful ⁵³⁹ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and madest ³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with him to give ⁵⁴¹⁴ the land ⁷⁷⁶ of the Canaanites ³⁶⁶⁹, the Hittites ²⁸⁵⁰, the Amorites ⁵⁶⁷, and the Perizzites ⁶⁵²², and the Jebusites ²⁹⁸³, and the Girgashites ¹⁶²², to give ⁵⁴¹⁴ [it, I say], to his seed ²²³³, and hast performed ⁶⁹⁶⁵ thy words ¹⁶⁹⁷; for thou [art] righteous ⁶⁶⁶²:
Neh 9:32	Now therefore, our God ⁴³⁰, the great ¹⁴¹⁹, the mighty ¹³⁶⁸, and the terrible ³³⁷² God ⁴¹⁰, who keepest ⁸¹⁰⁴ covenant¹²⁸⁵ and mercy ²⁶¹⁷, let not all the trouble ⁸⁵¹³ seem little ⁴⁵⁹¹ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, that hath come ⁴⁶⁷² upon us, on our kings ⁴⁴²⁸, on our princes ⁸²⁶⁹, and on our priests ³⁵⁴⁸, and on our prophets ⁵⁰³⁰, and on our fathers ¹, and on all thy people ⁵⁹⁷¹, since the time ³¹¹⁷ of the kings ⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria ⁸⁰⁴ unto this day ³¹¹⁷.
Neh 13:29	Remember ²¹⁴² them, O my God ⁴³⁰, because they have defiled ¹³⁵² the priesthood ³⁵⁵⁰, and the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the priesthood ³⁵⁵⁰, and of the Levites ³⁸⁸¹.
