Ezra 1:1--6:22

Now in the first
<0259>
year
<08141>
of Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
by the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
might be fulfilled
<03615> (8800)_,
the LORD
<03068>
stirred up
<05782> (8689)
the spirit
<07307>
of Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_,
that he made a proclamation
<05674> (8686) <06963>
throughout all his kingdom
<04438>_,
and [put it] also in writing
<04385>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{made...: Heb. caused a voice to pass}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_,
The LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>_;
and he hath charged
<06485> (8804)
me to build
<01129> (8800)
him an house
<01004>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
which [is] in Judah
<03063>_.
Who [is there] among you of all his people
<05971>_?
his God
<0430>
be with him, and let him go up
<05927> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
which [is] in Judah
<03063>_,
and build
<01129> (8799)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
(he [is] the God
<0430>,)
which [is] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
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
<03701>_,
and with gold
<02091>_,
and with goods
<07399>_,
and with beasts
<0929>_,
beside the freewill offering
<05071>
for the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
that [is] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{help...: Heb. lift him up}
Then rose up
<06965> (8799)
the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>
of Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
and the priests
<03548>_,
and the Levites
<03881>_,
with all [them] whose spirit
<07307>
God
<0430>
had raised
<05782> (8689)_,
to go up
<05927> (8800)
to build
<01129> (8800)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
which [is] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And all they that [were] about
<05439>
them strengthened
<02388> (8765)
their hands
<03027>
with vessels
<03627>
of silver
<03701>_,
with gold
<02091>_,
with goods
<07399>_,
and with beasts
<0929>_,
and with precious things
<04030>_,
beside all [that] was willingly offered
<05068> (8692)_.
{strengthened...: that is, helped them}
Also Cyrus
<03566>
the king
<04428>
brought forth
<03318> (8689)
the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,

them in the house
<01004>
of his gods
<0430>_;

<03566>

<01271>
the Gileadite
<01569>_,
and was called
<07121> (8735)
after their name
<08034>_:
These sought
<01245> (8765)
their register
<03791>
[among] those that were reckoned by genealogy
<03187> (8693)_,
but they were not found
<04672> (8738)_:
therefore were they, as polluted
<01351> (8792)_,
put from the priesthood
<03550>_.
{were they...: Heb. they were polluted from the priesthood}
And the Tirshatha
<08660>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, that they should not eat
<0398> (8799)
of the most
<06944>
holy things
<06944>_,
till there stood up
<05975> (8800)
a priest
<03548>
with Urim
<0224>
and with Thummim
<08550>_.
{Tirshatha: or, governor}
The whole congregation
<06951>
together
<0259>
[was] forty
<0702> <07239>
and two thousand
<0505>
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
[and] threescore
<08346>_,
Beside their servants
<05650>
and their maids
<0519>_,
of whom [there were] seven

thousand
<0505>
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
thirty
<07970>
and seven
<07651>_:
and [there were]
<0428>
among them two hundred
<03967>
singing men
<07891> (8789)
and singing women
<07891> (8789)_.
Their horses
<05483>

thirty
<07970>

six
<08337>
thousand
<0505>
seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>_.
And [some] of the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>_,
when they came
<0935> (8800)
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
offered freely
<05068> (8694)
for the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
to set it up
<05975> (8687)
in his place
<04349>_:
They gave
<05414> (8804)
after their ability
<03581>
unto the treasure
<0214>
of the work
<04399>
threescore
<08337> <07239>
and one thousand
<0505>
drams
<01871>
of gold
<02091>_,
and five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>
pound
<04488>
of silver
<03701>_,
and one hundred
<03967>
priests
<03548>_'
garments
<03801>_.
So the priests
<03548>_,
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and [some] of the people
<05971>_,
and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,
and the porters
<07778>_,
and the Nethinims
<05411>_,
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in their cities
<05892>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
in their cities
<05892>_.
And when the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>
was come
<05060> (8799)_,
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
[were] in the cities
<05892>_,
the people
<05971>
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8735)
as one
<0259>
man
<0376>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then stood up
<06965> (8799)
Jeshua
<03442>
the son
<01121>
of Jozadak
<03136>_,
and his brethren
<0251>
the priests
<03548>_,
and Zerubbabel
<02216>
the son
<01121>
of Shealtiel
<07597>_,
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and builded
<01129> (8799)
the altar
<04196>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
to offer
<05927> (8687)
burnt offerings
<05930>
thereon, as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_.
{Jeshua: also called, Joshua} {Zerubbabel: Gr. Zorobabel} {Shealtiel: Gr. Salathiel}
And they set
<03559> (8686)
the altar
<04196>
upon his bases
<04350>_;
for fear
<0367>
[was] upon them because of the people
<05971>
of those countries
<0776>_:
and they offered
<05927> (8686)
burnt offerings
<05930>
thereon unto the LORD
<03068>_,
[even] burnt offerings
<05930>
morning
<01242>
and evening
<06153>_.
They kept
<06213> (8799)
also the feast
<02282>
of tabernacles
<05521>_,
as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)_,
and [offered] the daily
<03117> <03117>
burnt offerings
<05930>
by number
<04557>_,
according to the custom
<04941>_,
as the duty
<01697>
of every day
<03117>
required
<03117>_;
{as the duty...: Heb. the matter of the day in his day}
And afterward
<0310>
[offered] the continual
<08548>
burnt offering
<05930>_,
both of the new moons
<02320>_,
and of all the set feasts
<04150>
of the LORD
<03068>
that were consecrated
<06942> (8794)_,
and of every one that willingly offered
<05068> (8693)
a freewill offering
<05071>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
From the first
<0259>
day
<03117>
of the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>
began
<02490> (8689)
they to offer
<05927> (8687)
burnt offerings
<05930>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
But the foundation
<03245> (0)
of the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>
was not [yet] laid
<03245> (8795)_.
{the foundation...: Heb. the temple of the LORD was not yet founded}
They gave
<05414> (8799)
money
<03701>
also unto the masons
<02672> (8802)_,
and to the carpenters
<02796>_;
and meat
<03978>_,
and drink
<04960>_,
and oil
<08081>_,
unto them of Zidon
<06722>_,
and to them of Tyre
<06876>_,
to bring
<0935> (8687)
cedar
<0730>
trees
<06086>
from Lebanon
<03844>
to the sea
<03220>
of Joppa
<03305>_,
according to the grant
<07558>
that they had of Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_.
{carpenters: or, workmen}
Now in the second
<08145>
year
<08141>
of their coming
<0935> (8800)
unto the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
in the second
<08145>
month
<02320>_,
began
<02490> (8689)
Zerubbabel
<02216>
the son
<01121>
of Shealtiel
<07597>_,
and Jeshua
<03442>
the son
<01121>
of Jozadak
<03136>_,
and the remnant
<07605>
of their brethren
<0251>
the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and all they that were come out
<0935> (8802)
of the captivity
<07628>
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and appointed
<05975> (8686)
the Levites
<03881>_,
from twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
and upward
<04605>_,
to set forward
<05329> (8763)
the work
<04399>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
Then stood
<05975> (8799)
Jeshua
<03442>
[with] his sons
<01121>
and his brethren
<0251>_,
Kadmiel
<06934>
and his sons
<01121>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>_,
together
<0259>_,
to set forward
<05329> (8763)
the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>
in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_:
the sons
<01121>
of Henadad
<02582>_,
[with] their sons
<01121>
and their brethren
<0251>
the Levites
<03881>_.
{Judah: also called, Hodaviah} {together: Heb. as one}
And when the builders
<01129> (8802)
laid the foundation
<03245> (8765)
of the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
they set
<05975> (8686)
the priests
<03548>
in their apparel
<03847> (8794)
with trumpets
<02689>_,
and the Levites
<03881>
the sons
<01121>
of Asaph
<0623>
with cymbals
<04700>_,
to praise
<01984> (8763)
the LORD
<03068>_,
after the ordinance
<03027>
of David
<01732>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And they sang together by course
<06030> (8799)
in praising
<01984> (8763)
and giving thanks
<03034> (8687)
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
because [he is] good
<02896>_,
for his mercy
<02617>
[endureth] for ever
<05769>
toward Israel
<03478>_.
And all the people
<05971>
shouted
<07321> (8689)
with a great
<01419>
shout
<08643>_,
when they praised
<01984> (8763)
the LORD
<03068>_,
because the foundation
<03245> (0)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
was laid
<03245> (8717)_.
But many
<07227>
of the priests
<03548>
and Levites
<03881>
and chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>_,
[who were] ancient men
<02205>_,
that had seen
<07200> (8804)
the first
<07223>
house
<01004>_,
when the foundation
<03245> (0)
of this house
<01004>
was laid
<03245> (8800)
before their eyes
<05869>_,
wept
<01058> (8802)
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>_;
and many
<07227>
shouted
<08643>
aloud
<07311> (8687)
for joy
<08057>_:
So that the people
<05971>
could not discern
<05234> (8688)
the noise
<06963>
of the shout
<08643>
of joy
<08057>
from the noise
<06963>
of the weeping
<01065>
of the people
<05971>_:
for the people
<05971>
shouted
<07321> (8688)
with a loud
<01419>
shout
<08643>_,
and the noise
<06963>
was heard
<08085> (8738)
afar off
<07350>_.
Now when the adversaries
<06862>
of Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that the children
<01121>
of the captivity
<01473>
builded
<01129> (8802)
the temple
<01964>
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
{the children...: Heb. the sons of the transportation}
Then they came
<05066> (8799)
to Zerubbabel
<02216>_,
and to the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Let us build
<01129> (8799)
with you: for we seek
<01875> (8799)
your God
<0430>_,
as ye [do]; and we do sacrifice
<02076> (8802)
unto him since the days
<03117>
of Esarhaddon
<0634>
king
<04428>
of Assur
<0804>_,
which brought us up hither
<05927> (8688)_.
But Zerubbabel
<02216>_,
and Jeshua
<03442>_,
and the rest
<07605>
of the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>
of Israel
<03478>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
unto our God
<0430>_;
but we ourselves together
<03162>
will build
<01129> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
as king
<04428>
Cyrus
<03566>
the king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>
hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
us.
Then the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
weakened
<07503> (8764)
the hands
<03027>
of the people
<05971>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and troubled
<0926> (8764) (8675) <01089> (8764)
them in building
<01129> (8800)_,
And hired
<07936> (8802)
counsellors
<03289> (8802)
against them, to frustrate
<06565> (8687)
their purpose
<06098>_,
all the days
<03117>
of Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_,
even until the reign
<04438>
of Darius
<01867>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_.
And in the reign
<04438>
of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,
in the beginning
<08462>
of his reign
<04438>_,
wrote
<03789> (8804)
they [unto him] an accusation
<07855>
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{Ahasuerus: Heb. Ahashverosh}
And in the days
<03117>
of Artaxerxes
<0783>
wrote
<03789> (8804)
Bishlam
<01312>_,
Mithredath
<04990>_,
Tabeel
<02870>_,
and the rest
<07605>
of their companions
<03674>_,
unto Artaxerxes
<0783>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_;
and the writing
<03791>
of the letter
<05406>
[was] written
<03789> (8803)
in the Syrian tongue
<0762>_,
and interpreted
<08638> (8794)
in the Syrian tongue
<0762>_.
{Bishlam: or, in peace} {companions: Heb. societies}
Rehum
<07348>
the chancellor
<01169> <02942>
and Shimshai
<08124>
the scribe
<05613>
wrote
<03790> (8754)
a
<02298>
letter
<0104>
against
<05922>
Jerusalem
<03390>
to Artaxerxes
<0783>
the king
<04430>
in this sort
<03660>_:
{scribe: or, secretary}
Then
<0116>
[wrote] Rehum
<07348>
the chancellor
<01169> <02942>_,
and Shimshai
<08124>
the scribe

and the rest

[and] the Elamites
<05962>_,
{companions: Chaldee, societies}
And the rest
<07606>
of the nations
<0524>
whom
<01768>
the great
<07229>
and noble
<03358>
Asnappar
<0620>
brought over
<01541> (8684)_,
and set
<03488> (8684) <01994>
in the cities
<07149>
of Samaria
<08115>_,
and the rest
<07606>
[that are] on this side
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
and at such a time
<03706>_.
{at such...: Chaldee, Cheeneth}
This
<01836>
[is] the copy
<06573>
of the letter
<0104>
that
<01768>
they sent
<07972> (8754)
unto him
<05922>_,
[even] unto Artaxerxes
<0783>
the king
<04430>_;
Thy servants
<05649>
the men
<0606>
on this side
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
and at such a time
<03706>_.
Be it
<01934> (8748)
known
<03046> (8752)
unto the king
<04430>_,
that the Jews
<03062>
which
<01768>
came up
<05559> (8760)
from
<04481>
thee
<03890>
to us
<05922>
are come
<0858> (8754)
unto Jerusalem
<03390>_,
building
<01124> (8750)
the rebellious
<04779>
and the bad
<0873>
city
<07149>_,
and have set up
<03635> (8806) (8675) <03635> (8720)
the walls
<07792>
[thereof], and joined
<02338> (8681)
the foundations
<0787>_.
{set up: or, finished} {joined: Chaldee, sewed together}
Be it known
<03046> (8752) <01934> (8748)
now
<03705>
unto the king
<04430>_,
that, if
<02006>
this
<01791>
city
<07149>
be builded
<01124> (8731)_,
and the walls
<07792>
set up
<03635> (8720)
[again, then] will they not
<03809>
pay
<05415> (8748)
toll
<04061>_,
tribute
<01093>_,
and custom
<01983>_,
and [so] thou shalt endamage
<05142> (8681)
the revenue
<0674>
of the kings
<04430>_.
{pay: Chaldee, give} {revenue: or, strength}
Now
<03705>
because
<06903> <03606>
we have
<01768>
maintenance
<04415> (8754) <04416>
from [the king's] palace
<01965>_,
and it was not
<03809>
meet
<0749> (8750)
for us to see
<02370> (8749)
the king's
<04430>
dishonour
<06173>_,
therefore
<05922> <01836>
have we sent
<07972> (8754)
and certified
<03046> (8684)
the king
<04430>_;
{we have...: Chaldee, we are salted with the salt of the palace}
That search
<01240> (8741)
may be made in the book
<05609>
of the records
<01799>
of thy fathers
<02>_:
so shalt thou find
<07912> (8681)
in the book
<05609>
of the records
<01799>_,
and know
<03046> (8748)
that this
<01791>
city
<07149>
[is] a rebellious
<04779>
city
<07149>_,
and hurtful
<05142> (8683)
unto kings
<04430>
and provinces
<04083>_,
and that they have moved
<05648> (8751)
sedition
<0849>
within the same
<01459>
of
<04481>
old
<05957>
time
<03118>_:
for
<05922>
which
<01836>
cause was this
<01791>
city
<07149>
destroyed
<02718> (8717)_.
{moved: Chaldee, made} {within...: Chaldee, in the midst thereof}
We
<0586>
certify
<03046> (8683)
the king
<04430>
that, if
<02006>
this
<01791>
city
<07149>
be builded
<01124> (8731)
[again], and the walls
<07792>
thereof set up
<03635> (8720)_,
by this
<01836>
means
<06903>
thou shalt have
<0383>
no
<03809>
portion
<02508>
on this side
<05675>
the river
<05103>_.
[Then] sent
<07972> (8754)
the king
<04430>
an answer
<06600>
unto
<05922>
Rehum
<07348>
the chancellor
<01169> <02942>_,
and [to] Shimshai
<08124>
the scribe
<05613>_,
and [to] the rest
<07606>
of their companions
<03675>
that dwell
<03488> (8750)
in Samaria
<08115>_,
and [unto] the rest
<07606>
beyond
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
Peace
<08001>_,
and at such a time
<03706>_.
{companions: Chaldee, societies}
The letter
<05407>
which ye sent
<07972> (8754)
unto us
<05922>
hath been plainly
<06568> (8744)
read
<07123> (8752)
before
<06925>
me.
And I
<04481>
commanded
<07761> (8752) <02942>_,
and search
<01240> (8745)
hath been made, and it is found
<07912> (8684)
that this
<01791>
city
<07149>
of
<04481>
old
<05957>
time
<03118>
hath made insurrection
<05376> (8723)
against
<05922>
kings
<04430>_,
and [that] rebellion
<04776>
and sedition
<0849>
have been made
<05648> (8727)
therein. {I commanded: Chaldee, by me a decree is set} {made insurrection: Chaldee, lifted up itself}
There have been
<01934> (8754)
mighty
<08624>
kings
<04430>
also over
<05922>
Jerusalem
<03390>_,
which have ruled
<07990>
over all
<03606>
[countries] beyond
<05675>
the river
<05103>_;
and toll
<04061>_,
tribute
<01093>_,
and custom
<01983>_,
was paid
<03052> (8727)
unto them.
Give
<07761> (8747)
ye now
<03705>
commandment
<02942>
to cause
<0989> (0)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
to cease
<0989> (8749)_,
and that this
<01791>
city
<07149>
be not
<03809>
builded
<01124> (8731)_,
until
<05705>
[another] commandment
<02941>
shall be given
<07761> (8725)
from me
<04481>_.
{Give...: Chaldee, Make a decree}
Take heed
<01934> (8747) <02095> (8750)
now that ye fail
<07960>
not to do
<05922> <05648> (8749)
this
<01836>_:
why
<04101>
should damage
<02257>
grow
<07680> (8748)
to the hurt
<05142> (8682)
of the kings
<04430>_?
Now
<0116>
when
<04481> <01768>
the copy
<06573>
of king
<04430>
Artaxerxes
<0783>_'
letter
<05407>
[was] read
<07123> (8752)
before
<06925>
Rehum
<07348>_,
and Shimshai
<08124>
the scribe
<05613>_,
and their companions
<03675>_,
they went up
<0236> (8754)
in haste
<0924>
to Jerusalem
<03390>
unto
<05922>
the Jews
<03062>_,
and made them
<01994>
to cease
<0989> (8754)
by force
<0153>
and power
<02429>_.
{by force...: Chaldee, by arm and power}
Then
<0116>
ceased
<0989> (8754)
the work
<05673>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_.
So it ceased
<01934> (8754) <0989> (8750)
unto
<05705>
the second
<08648>
year
<08140>
of the reign
<04437>
of Darius
<01868>
king
<04430>
of Persia
<06540>_.
Then the prophets
<05029>_,
Haggai
<02292>
the prophet
<05029>_,
and Zechariah
<02148>
the son
<01247>
of Iddo
<05714>_,
prophesied
<05013> (8724)
unto
<05922>
the Jews
<03062>
that [were] in Judah
<03061>
and Jerusalem
<03390>
in the name
<08036>
of the God
<0426>
of Israel
<03479>_,
[even] unto
<05922>
them.
Then
<0116>
rose up
<06966> (8754)
Zerubbabel
<02217>
the son
<01247>
of Shealtiel
<07598>_,
and Jeshua
<03443>
the son
<01247>
of Jozadak
<03136>_,
and began
<08271> (8745)
to build
<01124> (8749)
the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_:
and with them
<05974>
[were] the prophets
<05029>
of God
<0426>
helping
<05583> (8683)
them.
At the same time
<02166>
came
<0858> (8754)
to them Tatnai
<08674>_,
governor
<06347>
on this side
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
and Shetharboznai
<08370>_,
and their companions
<03675>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>
unto them
<05922>_,
Who
<04479>
hath commanded
<07761> (8754) <02942>
you to build
<01124> (8749)
this
<01836>
house
<01005>_,
and to make up
<03635> (8805)
this
<01836>
wall
<0846>_?
Then
<0116>
said
<0560> (8754)
we unto them after this manner
<03660>_,
What
<04479>
are
<0581>
the names
<08036>
of the men
<01400>
that make
<01124> (8750)
this
<01836>
building
<01147>_?
{make: Chaldee, build}
But the eye
<05870>
of their God
<0426>
was
<01934> (8754)
upon
<05922>
the elders
<07868> (8750)
of the Jews
<03062>_,
that they could not
<03809>
cause
<0989> (0)
them
<01994>
to cease
<0989> (8754)_,
till
<05705>
the matter
<02941>
came
<01946> (8748)
to Darius
<01868>_:
and then
<0116>
they returned answer
<08421> (8681)
by letter
<05407>
concerning
<05922>
this
<01836>
[matter].
The copy
<06573>
of the letter
<0104>
that Tatnai
<08674>_,
governor
<06347>
on this side
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
and Shetharboznai
<08370>_,
and his companions
<03675>
the Apharsachites
<0671>_,
which [were] on this side
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
sent
<07972> (8754)
unto
<05922>
Darius
<01868>
the king
<04430>_:
They sent
<07972> (8754)
a letter
<06600>
unto
<05922>
him, wherein
<01459>
was written
<03790> (8752)
thus
<01836>_;
Unto Darius
<01868>
the king
<04430>_,
all
<03606>
peace
<08001>_.
{wherein: Chaldee, in the midst whereof}
Be it known
<01934> (8748) <03046> (8752)
unto the king
<04430>_,
that we went
<0236> (8754)
into the province
<04083>
of Judea
<03061>_,
to the house
<01005>
of the great
<07229>
God
<0426>_,
which is builded
<01124> (8732)
with great
<01560>
stones
<069>_,
and timber
<0636>
is laid
<07761> (8727)
in the walls
<03797>_,
and this
<01791>
work
<05673>
goeth
<05648> (8727)
fast
<0629>
on, and prospereth
<06744> (8683)
in their hands
<03028>_.
{great...: Chaldee, stones of rolling}
Then
<0116>
asked
<07593> (8754)
we those
<0479>
elders
<07868> (8750)_,
[and] said
<0560> (8754)
unto them thus
<03660>_,
Who
<04479>
commanded
<07761> (8754) <02942>
you to build
<01124> (8749)
this
<01836>
house
<01005>_,
and to make up
<03635> (8805)
these
<01836>
walls
<0846>_?
We asked
<07593> (8754)
their names
<08036>
also
<0638>_,
to certify
<03046> (8682)
thee, that we might write
<03790> (8748)
the names
<08036>
of the men
<01400>
that [were] the chief
<07217>
of them.
And thus
<03660>
they returned
<08421> (8684)
us answer
<06600>_,
saying
<0560> (8749)_,
We
<0586>
are
<01994>
the servants
<05649>
of the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
and earth
<0772>_,
and build
<01124> (8750)
the house
<01005>
that was
<01934> (8754)
builded
<01124> (8752)
these
<01836>
many
<07690>
years
<08140>
ago
<06928>_,
which a great
<07229>
king
<04430>
of Israel
<03479>
builded
<01124> (8754)
and set up
<03635> (8806)_.
But
<03861>
after
<04481>
that our fathers
<02>
had provoked
<07265> (0)
the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
unto wrath
<07265> (8684)_,
he gave
<03052> (8754)
them
<01994>
into the hand
<03028>
of Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
the Chaldean
<03679>_,
who destroyed
<05642> (8754)
this
<01836>
house
<01005>_,
and carried
<01541> (0)
the people
<05972>
away
<01541> (8684)
into Babylon
<0895>_.
But
<01297>
in the first
<02298>
year
<08140>
of Cyrus
<03567>
the king
<04430>
of Babylon
<0895>
[the same] king
<04430>
Cyrus
<03567>
made
<07761> (8754)
a decree
<02942>
to build
<01124> (8749)
this
<01836>
house
<01005>
of God
<0426>_.
And the vessels
<03984>
also
<0638>
of
<01768>
gold
<01722>
and silver
<03702>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>_,
which Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
took
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
that [was] in Jerusalem
<03390>_,
and brought
<02987> (8684)
them into the temple
<01965>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
those
<01994>
did Cyrus
<03567>
the king
<04430>
take
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
and they were delivered
<03052> (8753)
unto [one], whose name
<08036>
[was] Sheshbazzar
<08340>_,
whom he had made
<07761> (8754)
governor
<06347>_;
{governor: or, deputy}
And said
<0560> (8754)
unto him, Take
<05376> (8747)
these
<0412>
vessels
<03984>_,
go
<0236> (8747)_,
carry
<05182> (8680)
them
<01994>
into the temple
<01965>
that [is] in Jerusalem
<03390>_,
and let the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
be builded
<01124> (8731)
in
<05922>
his place
<0870>_.
Then
<0116>
came
<0858> (8754)
the same
<01791>
Sheshbazzar
<08340>_,
[and] laid
<03052> (8754)
the foundation
<0787>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [is] in Jerusalem
<03390>_:
and since
<04481>
that time
<0116>
even until
<05705>
now
<03705>
hath it been in building
<01124> (8732)_,
and [yet] it is not
<03809>
finished
<08000> (8752)_.
Now
<03705>
therefore, if
<02006>
[it seem] good
<02869>
to
<05922>
the king
<04430>_,
let there be search
<01240> (8721)
made in the king's
<04430>
treasure
<01596>
house
<01005>_,
which [is] there
<08536>
at Babylon
<0895>_,
whether
<02006>
it be
<0383>
[so], that a decree
<02942>
was made
<07761> (8752)
of
<04481>
Cyrus
<03567>
the king
<04430>
to build
<01124> (8749)
this
<01791>
house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
at Jerusalem
<03390>_,
and let the king
<04430>
send
<07972> (8748)
his pleasure
<07470>
to us concerning
<05922>
this matter
<01836>_.
Then
<0116>
Darius
<01868>
the king
<04430>
made
<07761> (8754)
a decree
<02942>_,
and search
<01240> (8745)
was made in the house
<01005>
of the rolls
<05609>_,
where
<08536>
the treasures
<01596>
were laid up
<05182> (8683)
in Babylon
<0895>_.
{rolls: Chaldee, books} {laid up: Chaldee, made to descend}
And there was found
<07912> (8728)
at Achmetha
<0307>_,
in the palace
<01001>
that [is] in the province
<04083>
of the Medes
<04076>_,
a
<02298>
roll
<04040>_,
and therein
<01459>
[was] a record
<01799>
thus
<03652>
written
<03790> (8752)_:
{Achmetha: or, Ecbatana, or, in a coffer}
In the first
<02298>
year
<08140>
of Cyrus
<03567>
the king
<04430>
[the same] Cyrus
<03567>
the king
<04430>
made
<07761> (8754)
a decree
<02942>
[concerning] the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
at Jerusalem
<03390>_,
Let the house
<01005>
be builded
<01124> (8731)_,
the place
<0870>
where they offered
<01684> (8751)
sacrifices
<01685>_,
and let the foundations
<0787>
thereof be strongly laid
<05446> (8775)_;
the height
<07314>
thereof threescore
<08361>
cubits
<0521>_,
[and] the breadth
<06613>
thereof threescore
<08361>
cubits
<0521>_;
[With] three
<08532>
rows
<05073>
of great
<01560>
stones
<069>_,
and a row
<05073>
of new
<02323>
timber
<0636>_:
and let the expenses
<05313>
be given
<03052> (8725)
out of
<04481>
the king's
<04430>
house
<01005>_:
And also
<0638>
let the golden
<01722>
and silver
<03702>
vessels
<03984>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>_,
which Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
took forth
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_,
and brought
<02987> (8684)
unto Babylon
<0895>_,
be restored
<08421> (8681)_,
and brought again
<01946> (8748)
unto the temple
<01965>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_,
[every one] to his place
<0870>_,
and place
<05182> (8681)
[them] in the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>_.
{brought again: Chaldee, go}
Now
<03705>
[therefore], Tatnai
<08674>_,
governor
<06347>
beyond
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
Shetharboznai
<08370>_,
and your companions
<03675>
the Apharsachites
<0671>_,
which [are] beyond

the river
<05103>_,
be ye
<01934> (8754)
far
<07352>
from
<04481>
thence
<08536>_:
{your...: Chaldee, their societies}
Let the work
<05673>
of this
<01791>
house
