In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of King Jehoiachin of Judah, on the twenty-fifth1 day of the twelfth month,2 Evil-Merodach, in the first year of his reign, pardoned3 King Jehoiachin of Judah and released him from prison.
In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city1 was struck down, on this very day,2 the hand3 of the Lord was on me, and he brought me there.4
