Ezra 1:1-9 : 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; and he hath charged{H6485} 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, 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} 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: thirty{H7970} 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}
Ezra 6:1-9 : 1 Then{H116} Darius{H1868} the king{H4430} made{H7761} a decree,{H2942} and search{H1240} was made in the house{H1005} of the archives,{H5609} where{H8536} the treasures{H1596} were laid

this{H1836} word,{H6600} let a beam{H636} be pulled out{H5256} from{H4481} his house,{H1005} and let him be lifted up{H2211} and fastened{H4223} thereon;{H5922} and let his house{H1005} be made{H5648} a dunghill{H5122} for{H5922} this:{H1836} 12 and the God{H426} that hath caused his name{H8036} to dwell{H7932} there{H8536} overthrow all{H3606} kings{H4430} and peoples{H5972} that shall put{H7972} forth their hand{H3028} to alter{H8133} [the same], to destroy{H2255} this{H1791} house{H1005} of God{H426} which is{H576} at Jerusalem.{H3390} I{H576} Darius{H1868} have made{H7761} a decree;{H2942} let it be done{H5648} with all diligence.{H629} 13 Then{H116} Tattenai, the governor{H6347} beyond{H5675} the River,{H5103} Shethar-bozenai,{H8370} and their companions,{H3675} because{H3660} that Darius{H1868} the king{H4430} had sent,{H7972} did{H5648} accordingly{H6903} with all diligence.{H629} 14 And the elders{H7868} of the Jews{H3062} builded{H1124} and prospered,{H6744} through the
