Now in the first
<0259>

year
<08141>

of Cyrus
<03566>

king
<04428>

that the word

of the LORD
<03068>

by the mouth
<06310>

<03414>

might be fulfilled
<03615> (8800)_,

the LORD

the spirit
<07307>

<03566>

<04428>

<06539>_,

1:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

Cyrus
<03566>

<06539>_,

The LORD
<03068>

God

of heaven
<08064>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me all the kingdoms
<04467>

<06485> (8804)

me to build
<01129> (8800)

him an house
<01004>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Who [is there] among you of all his people

his God
<0430>

be with him, and let him go up
<05927> (8799)

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

(he [is] the God
<0430>,)

which [is] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

1:4

And whosoever remaineth
<07604> (8737)

in any place
<04725>

where he sojourneth
<01481> (8802)_,

let the men
<0582>

of his place
<04725>

help
<05375> (8762)

him with silver

my God
<0430>

[was] upon me, and I gathered together

out of Israel
<03478>

chief men
<07218>

to go up
<05927> (8800)
