Ezra 3:8--6:15

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
<05613>_,

and the rest
<07606>

of their companions
<03675>_;

the Dinaites
<01784>_,

the Apharsathchites
<0671>_,

the Tarpelites
<02967>_,

the Apharsites
<0670>_,

the Archevites
<0756>_,

the Babylonians
<0896>_,

the Susanchites
<07801>_,

the Dehavites
<01723>_,

[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

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>

[With] three

<0636>_:

<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

<01005>

of God
<0426>_,

which Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

took forth
<05312> (8684)

out of
<04481>

the temple
<01965>

which [is] at Jerusalem

Now
