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}

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; and he hath charged{H6485} me to build{H1129} him a house{H1004} in Jerusalem,{H3389} which is in Judah.{H3063}

Whosoever there is among you of all his people,{H5971} his God{H430} be with him, and let him go up{H5927} 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}

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}

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}

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}

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}

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}

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

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}

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}
