Now in the first{H259} year{H8141} of Cyrus{H3566} king{H4428} of Persia{H6539}, that the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} by the mouth{H6310} of Jeremiah{H3414} might be fulfilled{H3615}{(H8800)}, the LORD{H3068} stirred up{H5782}{(H8689)} the spirit{H7307} of Cyrus{H3566} king{H4428} of Persia{H6539}, that he made a proclamation{H5674}{(H8686)}{H6963} throughout all his kingdom{H4438}, and put it also in writing{H4385}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} Cyrus{H3566} king{H4428} of Persia{H6539}, The LORD{H3068} God{H430} of heaven{H8064} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} me all the kingdoms{H4467} of the earth{H776}; and he hath charged{H6485}{(H8804)} me to build{H1129}{(H8800)} him an house{H1004} at Jerusalem{H3389}, which is in Judah{H3063}.

Who is there among you of all his people{H5971}? His God{H430} be with him, and let him go up{H5927}{(H8799)} to Jerusalem{H3389}, which is in Judah{H3063}, and build{H1129}{(H8799)} the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478},(he{H1931} is the God{H430},) which is in Jerusalem{H3389}.

And whosoever remaineth{H7604}{(H8737)} in any place{H4725} where he sojourneth{H1481}{(H8802)}, let the men{H582} of his place{H4725} help{H5375}{(H8762)} him with silver{H3701}, and with gold{H2091}, and with goods{H7399}, and with beasts{H929}, beside the freewill offering{H5071} for the house{H1004} of God{H430} that is in Jerusalem{H3389}.

Then rose up{H6965}{(H8799)} the chief{H7218} of the fathers{H1} of Judah{H3063} and Benjamin{H1144}, and the priests{H3548}, and the Levites{H3881}, with all them whose spirit{H7307} God{H430} had raised{H5782}{(H8689)}, to go up{H5927}{(H8800)} to build{H1129}{(H8800)} the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} which is in Jerusalem{H3389}.

And all they that were about{H5439} them strengthened{H2388}{(H8765)} their hands{H3027} with vessels{H3627} of silver{H3701}, with gold{H2091}, with goods{H7399}, and with beasts{H929}, and with precious things{H4030}, beside all that was willingly offered{H5068}{(H8692)}.

Also Cyrus{H3566} the king{H4428} brought forth{H3318}{(H8689)} the vessels{H3627} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, which Nebuchadnezzar{H5019} had brought forth{H3318}{(H8689)} out of Jerusalem{H3389}, and had put{H5414}{(H8799)} them in the house{H1004} of his gods{H430};

Even those did Cyrus{H3566} king{H4428} of Persia{H6539} bring forth{H3318}{(H8686)} by the hand{H3027} of Mithredath{H4990} the treasurer{H1489}, and numbered{H5608}{(H8799)} them unto Sheshbazzar{H8339}, the prince{H5387} of Judah{H3063}.

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

Thirty{H7970} basons{H3713} of gold{H2091}, silver{H3701} basons{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}{(H8689)} with them of the captivity{H1473} that were brought up{H5927}{(H8736)} from Babylon{H894} unto Jerusalem{H3389}.
