1. Now in the first[H259] year[H8141] of Cyrus[H3566] king[H4428] of Persia[H6539], that the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] by the mouth[H6310] of Jeremiah[H3414] might be accomplished[H3615], Jehovah[H3068] stirred up[H5782] the spirit[H7307] of Cyrus[H3566] king[H4428] of Persia[H6539], so that he made a proclamation[H5674] throughout all his kingdom[H4438], and put it also in writing[H4385], saying[H559],

2. Thus saith[H559] Cyrus[H3566] king[H4428] of Persia[H6539], All the kingdoms[H4467] of the earth[H776] hath Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of heaven[H8064], given[H5414] me[H6485]; and he hath charged me to build[H1129] him a house[H1004] in Jerusalem[H3389], which is in Judah[H3063].

3. Whosoever there is among you of all his people[H5971], his God[H430] be with him[H5927], and let him go up to Jerusalem[H3389], which is in Judah[H3063], and build[H1129] the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478] (he is God[H430]), which is in Jerusalem[H3389].

4. And whosoever is left[H7604], in any place[H4725] where he sojourneth[H1481], let the men[H582] of his place[H4725] help[H5375] him with silver[H3701], and with gold[H2091], and with goods[H7399], and with beasts[H929], besides the freewill-offering[H5071] for the house[H1004] of God[H430] which is in Jerusalem[H3389].

5. Then rose up[H6965] the heads[H7218] of fathers[H1]' houses of Judah[H3063] and Benjamin[H1144], and the priests[H3548], and the Levites[H3881], even all whose spirit[H7307] God[H430] had stirred[H5782] to go up[H5927] to build[H1129] the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] which is in Jerusalem[H3389].

6. And all they that were round about[H5439] them strengthened[H2388] their hands[H3027] with vessels[H3627] of silver[H3701], with gold[H2091], with goods[H7399], and with beasts[H929], and with precious things[H4030], besides all that was willingly offered[H5068].

7. Also Cyrus[H3566] the king[H4428] brought forth[H3318] the vessels[H3627] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], which Nebuchadnezzar[H5019] had brought forth[H3318] out of Jerusalem[H3389], and had put[H5414] in the house[H1004] of his gods[H430];

8. even those did Cyrus[H3566] king[H4428] of Persia[H6539] bring forth[H3318] by the hand[H3027] of Mithredath[H4990] the treasurer[H1489], and numbered[H5608] them unto Sheshbazzar[H8339], the prince[H5387] of Judah[H3063].

9. And this is the number[H4557] of them[H7970]: thirty platters[H105] of gold[H2091], a thousand[H505] platters[H105] of silver[H3701], nine[H8672] and twenty[H6242] knives[H4252],

10. thirty[H7970] bowls[H3713] of gold[H2091], silver[H3701] bowls[H3713] of a second[H4932] sort four[H702] hundred[H3967] and ten[H6235], and other[H312] vessels[H3627] a thousand[H505].

11. All the vessels[H3627] of gold[H2091] and of silver[H3701] were five[H2568] thousand[H505] and four[H702] hundred[H3967]. All these did Sheshbazzar[H8339] bring up[H5927], when they of the captivity[H1473] were brought up[H5927] from Babylon[H894] unto Jerusalem[H3389].
