1:1 | 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} |
1:2 | 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>. |
1:3 | 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>. |
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 <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} |
1:5 | 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>. |
1:6 | 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} |
1:7 | Also Cyrus <03566> the king <04428> brought forth <03318> (8689) the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, which Nebuchadnezzar <05019> had brought forth <03318> (8689) out of Jerusalem <03389>, and had put <05414> (8799) them in the house <01004> of his gods <0430>; |
1:8 | Even those did Cyrus <03566> king <04428> of Persia <06539> bring forth <03318> (8686) by the hand <03027> of Mithredath <04990> the treasurer <01489>, and numbered <05608> (8799) them unto Sheshbazzar <08339>, the prince <05387> of Judah <03063>. |
1:9 | And this [is] the number <04557> of them: thirty <07970> chargers <0105> of gold <02091>, a thousand <0505> chargers <0105> of silver <03701>, nine <08672> and twenty <06242> knives <04252>, |
1:10 | Thirty <07970> basons <03713> of gold <02091>, silver <03701> basons <03713> of a second <04932> [sort] four <0702> hundred <03967> and ten <06235>, [and] other <0312> vessels <03627> a thousand <0505>. |
1:11 | All the vessels <03627> of gold <02091> and of silver <03701> [were] five <02568> thousand <0505> and four <0702> hundred <03967>. All [these] did Sheshbazzar <08339> bring up <05927> (8689) with [them of] the captivity <01473> that were brought up <05927> (8736) from Babylon <0894> unto Jerusalem <03389>. {the captivity: Heb. the transportation} |
