<03548>_:
This Ezra
<05830>
went up
<05927> (8804)
from Babylon
<0894>_;
and he [was] a ready
<04106>
scribe
<05608> (8802)
in the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
had given
<05414> (8804)_:
and the king
<04428>
granted
<05414> (8799)
him all his request
<01246>_,
according to the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
upon him.
And there went up
<05927> (8799)
[some] of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and of the priests
<03548>_,
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,
and the porters
<07778>_,
and the Nethinims
<05411>_,

<03389>_,
in the seventh
<07651>
year
<08141>
of Artaxerxes
<0783>
the king
<04428>_.
And he came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
in the fifth
<02549>
month
<02320>_,
which [was] in the seventh
<07637>
year
<08141>
of the king
<04428>_.
For upon the first
<0259>
[day] of the first
<07223>
month
<02320>
began
<03246>
he to go up
<04609>
from Babylon
<0894>_,
and on the first
<0259>
[day] of the fifth
<02549>
month
<02320>
came
<0935> (8804)
he to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
according to the good
<02896>
hand
<03027>
of his God
<0430>
upon him. {began...: Heb. was the foundation of the going up}
For Ezra
<05830>
had prepared
<03559> (8689)
his heart
<03824>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and to do
<06213> (8800)
[it], and to teach
<03925> (8763)
in Israel
<03478>
statutes
<02706>
and judgments
<04941>_.
Now this [is] the copy
<06572>
of the letter
<05406>
that the king
<04428>
Artaxerxes
<0783>
gave

<05608> (8802)_,

<01697>
of the commandments
<04687>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and of his statutes
<02706>
to Israel
<03478>_.
Artaxerxes

And whatsoever more

And I
<04481>_,

them.
And thou
<0607>_,
Ezra
<05831>_,
after the wisdom
<02452>
of thy God
<0426>_,
that [is] in thine hand
<03028>_,

And whosoever
<03606>
will not

<04430>_,
let judgment
<01780>
be
<01934> (8748)
executed
<05648> (8727)
speedily
<0629>
upon him
<04481>_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of our fathers
<01>_,
which hath put
<05414> (8804)
[such a thing] as this in the king's
<04428>
heart
<03820>_,
to beautify
<06286> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
which [is] in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
And hath extended
<05186> (8689)
mercy
<02617>
unto me before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_,
and his counsellors
<03289> (8802)_,
and before all the king's
<04428>
mighty
<01368>
princes
<08269>_.
And I was strengthened
<02388> (8694)
as the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>
[was] upon me, and I gathered together
<06908> (8799)
out of Israel
<03478>
chief men
<07218>
to go up
<05927> (8800)
with me.
