1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of
the Persians, that the word of Yehovah by the mouth of Jeremias might be
fulfilled, Yehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and
he issued a proclamation through all his kingdom, and that in writing,
saying,
1:2 Thus said Cyrus king of the Persians, Yehovah Elohim of heaven has given
me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has given me a charge to build him
a house in Jerusalem that is in Judea.
1:3 Who [is] there among you of all his people? for his Elohim shall be with
him, and he shall go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and let him build the
house of the Elohim of Israel: he [is] the Elohim that is in Jerusalem.
1:4 And [let] every [Jew] that is left [go] from every place where he
sojourns, and the men of his place shall help him with silver, and gold, and
goods, and cattle, together with the voluntary offering for the house of Elohim
that is in Jerusalem.
1:5 Then the chiefs of the families of Judah and Benjamin arose, and the
priests, and the Levites, all whose spirit Yehovah stirred up to go up to
build the house of Yehovah that [is] in Jerusalem.
1:6 And all that were round about strengthened their hands with vessels of
silver, with gold, with goods, and with cattle, and with presents, besides
the voluntary offerings.
1:7 And king Cyrus brought out the vessels of the house of Yehovah, which
Nabuchodonosor had brought from Jerusalem, and put in the house of his god.
1:8 And Cyrus king of the Persians brought them out by the hand of
Mithradates the treasurer, and he numbered them to Sasabasar, the chief man
of Judah.
1:9 And this [is] their number: thirty gold basons, and a thousand silver
basons, nine and twenty changes, thirty golden goblets,
1:10 and four hundred [and] ten double silver [vessels], and a thousand
other vessels.
1:11 All the gold and silver vessels were five thousand four hundred, [even]
all that went up with Sasabasar from the [place of] transportation, from
Babylon to Jerusalem. |
1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of
Persia, that the word of Yehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be
fulfilled, Yehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he
made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing,
saying,
1:2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, Yehovah Elohim of heaven hath given me
all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house
at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
1:3 Who is there among you of all his people? his Elohim be with him, and let
him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yehovah
Elohim of Israel, (he is the Elohim,) which is in Jerusalem.
1:4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of
his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with
beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of Elohim that is in
Jerusalem.
1:5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the
priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit Elohim had raised, to go
up to build the house of Yehovah which is in Jerusalem.
1:6 And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels
of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things,
beside all that was willingly offered.
1:7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Yehovah,
which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in
the house of his gods;
1:8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of
Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of
Judah.
1:9 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand
chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
1:10 Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred and
ten, and other vessels a thousand.
1:11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four
hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that
were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem. |
