Ezra 1:1-11

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>_,
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>_;
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>_.
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>_,
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>_.
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>_.
