<01596>
were laid up
<05182> (8683)

{rolls: Chaldee, books} {laid up: Chaldee, made to descend}
And there was found

at Achmetha
<0307>_,
in the palace
<01001>
that [is] in the province
<04083>

<04076>_,
a

<01799>
thus
<03652>

{Achmetha: or, Ecbatana, or, in a coffer}
In the first
<02298>

<03567>
the king
<04430>
[the same] Cyrus

Let the house

took forth
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_,
and brought

and brought again
<01946> (8748)

<01965>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_,
[every one] to his place
<0870>_,
and place
<05182> (8681)
[them] in the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>_.
{brought again: Chaldee, go}
Now

<07352>
from
<04481>
thence
<08536>_:
{your...: Chaldee, their societies}
Let the work
<05673>
of this
<01791>
house
<01005>
of God
<0426>

this
<01791>
house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
in
<05922>
his place
<0870>_.
Moreover I
<04481>
make
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>
what
<03964>
ye shall do
<05648> (8748)
to
<05974>
the elders
<07868> (8750)
of these
<0479>
Jews
<03062>
for the building
<01124> (8749)
of this
<01791>
house
<01005>
of God
<0426>_:
that of the king's
<04430>
goods
<05232>_,
[even] of
<01768>
the tribute
<04061>
beyond
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
forthwith
<0629>
expenses
<05313>
be
<01934> (8748)
given
<03052> (8727)
unto these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
that they be not
<03809>
hindered
<0989> (8749)_.
{I make...: Chaldee, by me a decree is made} {hindered: Chaldee, made to cease}
And that which
<04101>
they have need of
<02818> (8750)_,

<01123>
bullocks
<08450>_,
and rams

of the priests
<03549>
which [are] at Jerusalem
<03390>_,
let it be
<01934> (8748)
given
<03052> (8727)
them day
<03118>
by day
<03118>
without
<03809>
fail
<07960>_:
That they may offer
<01934> (8748) <07127> (8683)
sacrifices of sweet savours
<05208>
unto the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>_,

<06739> (8743)
for the life
<02417>
of the king
<04430>_,
and of his sons
<01123>_.
{of sweet...: Chaldee, of rest}
Also
<04481>
I have made
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>_,
that whosoever
<03606> <0606>
shall alter
<08133> (8681)
this
<01836>
word
<06600>_,
let timber
<0636>
be pulled down
<05256> (8725)
from
<04481>
his house
<01005>_,
and being set up
<02211> (8752)_,
let him be hanged
<04223> (8725)
thereon
<05922>_;
and let his house
<01005>
be made
<05648> (8725)
a dunghill
<05122>
for
<05922>
this
<01836>_.
{let him...: Chaldee, let him be destroyed}
And the God
<0426>
that hath caused his name
<08036>
to dwell
<07932> (8745)
there
<08536>
destroy
<04049> (8741)
all
<03606>
kings
<04430>
and people
<05972>_,
that shall put
<07972> (8748)
to their hand
<03028>
to alter
<08133> (8682)
[and] to destroy
<02255> (8742)
this
<01791>
house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_.
I
<0576>
Darius
<01868>
have made
<07761> (8754)
a decree
<02942>_;
let it be done
<05648> (8725)
with speed
<0629>_.
Then
<0116>
Tatnai
<08674>_,

<06347>
on this side
<05675>
the river
<05103>_,
Shetharboznai
<08370>_,
and their companions
<03675>_,
according
<06903>
to that which Darius
<01868>
the king
<04430>
had sent
<07972> (8754)_,
so
<03660>
they did
<05648> (8754)
speedily
<0629>_.
And the elders
<07868> (8750)
of the Jews
<03062>
builded
<01124> (8750)_,
and they prospered
<06744> (8683)
through the prophesying
<05017>
of Haggai
<02292>
the prophet
<05029>
and Zechariah
<02148>
the son
<01247>
of Iddo
<05714>_.
And they builded
<01124> (8754)_,
and finished
<03635> (8806)
[it], according
<04481>
to the commandment
<02941>
of the God
<0426>
of Israel
<03479>_,
and according to the commandment
<02942>
of Cyrus
<03567>_,
and Darius
<01868>_,
and Artaxerxes
<0783>
king
<04430>
of Persia
<06540>_.
{commandment: Chaldee, decree}
And this
<01836>
house
<01005>
was finished
<03319> (8806)
on
<05705>
the third
<08532>
day
<03118>
of the month
<03393>
Adar
<0144>_,
which was
<01932>
in the sixth
<08353>
year
<08140>

<04437>
