Ezra 5:5-17

5:5

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].

5:6

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>_:

5:7

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}

5:8

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}

5:9

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>_?

5:10

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.

5:11

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)_.

5:12

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>_.

5:13

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>_.

5:14

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}

5:15

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>_.

5:16

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)_.

5:17

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>_.
