Ezr 01:01 ¶ Now in the first <0259> year <08141> of Cyrus

<03566> king <04428> of Persia <06539>, that the word <01697> of

the LORD <03068> by the mouth <06310> of Jeremiah <03414> might

be fulfilled <03615> (8800), the LORD <03068> stirred up <05782>

(8689) the spirit <07307> of Cyrus <03566> king <04428> of

Persia <06539>, that he made a proclamation <05674> (8686)

<06963> throughout all his kingdom <04438>, and put it also in

writing <04385>, saying <0559> (8800),

Ezr 01:02 Thus saith <0559> (8804) Cyrus <03566> king <04428>

of Persia <06539>, The LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven <08064>

hath given <05414> (8804) me all the kingdoms <04467> of the

earth <0776>; and he hath charged <06485> (8804) me to build

<01129> (8800) him an house <01004> at Jerusalem <03389>, which

is in Judah <03063>.

Ezr 01:03 Who is there among you of all his people <05971>? his

God <0430> be with him, and let him go up <05927> (8799) to

Jerusalem <03389>, which is in Judah <03063>, and build <01129>

(8799) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of

Israel <03478>, (he is the God <0430>,) which is in Jerusalem

<03389>.

Ezr 01:04 And whosoever remaineth <07604> (8737) in any place

<04725> where he sojourneth <01481> (8802), let the men <0582>

of his place <04725> help <05375> (8762) him with silver <03701>,

and with gold <02091>, and with goods <07399>, and with beasts

<0929>, beside the freewill offering <05071> for the house

<01004> of God <0430> that is in Jerusalem <03389>.

Ezr 01:05 ¶ Then rose up <06965> (8799) the chief <07218> of the

fathers <01> of Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>, and the

priests <03548>, and the Levites <03881>, with all them whose

spirit <07307> God <0430> had raised <05782> (8689), to go up

<05927> (8800) to build <01129> (8800) the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068> which is in Jerusalem <03389>.

Ezr 01:06 And all they that were about <05439> them

strengthened <02388> (8765) their hands <03027> with vessels

<03627> of silver <03701>, with gold <02091>, with goods <07399>,

and with beasts <0929>, and with precious things <04030>,

beside all that was willingly offered <05068> (8692).

Ezr 01:07 Also Cyrus <03566> the king <04428> brought forth

<03318> (8689) the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068>, which Nebuchadnezzar <05019> had brought forth

<03318> (8689) out of Jerusalem <03389>, and had put <05414>

(8799) them in the house <01004> of his gods <0430>;

Ezr 01:08 Even those did Cyrus <03566> king <04428> of Persia

<06539> bring forth <03318> (8686) by the hand <03027> of

Mithredath <04990> the treasurer <01489>, and numbered <05608>

(8799) in their cities <05892>, and all Israel <03478> in their

cities <05892>.

Ezr 03:01 ¶ And when the seventh <07637> month <02320> was come

<05060> (8799), and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were

in the cities <05892>, the people <05971> gathered themselves

<03548>, and Zerubbabel <02216> the son <01121> of Shealtiel

<07597>, and his brethren <0251>, and builded <01129> (8799) the

altar <04196> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, to offer

<05927> (8687) burnt offerings <05930> thereon, as it is written

<03789> (8803) in the law <08451> of Moses <04872> the man

<0376> of God <0430>.

Ezr 03:03 And they set <03559> (8686) the altar <04196> upon

his bases <04350>; for fear <0367> was upon them because of the

people <05971> of those countries <0776>: and they offered

<05927> (8686) burnt offerings <05930> thereon unto the LORD

<03068>, even burnt offerings <05930> morning <01242> and

evening <06153>.

Ezr 03:04 They kept <06213> (8799) also the feast <02282> of

tabernacles <05521>, as it is written <03789> (8803), and

offered the daily <03117> <03117> burnt offerings <05930> by

number <04557>, according to the custom <04941>, as the duty

<01697> of every day <03117> required <03117>;

Ezr 03:05 And afterward <0310> offered the continual <08548>

burnt offering <05930>, both of the new moons <02320>, and of

all the set feasts <04150> of the LORD <03068> that were

consecrated <06942> (8794), and of every one that willingly

offered <05068> (8693) a freewill offering <05071> unto the LORD

<03068>.

Ezr 03:06 From the first <0259> day <03117> of the seventh

<07637> month <02320> began <02490> (8689) they to offer <05927>

(8687) burnt offerings <05930> unto the LORD <03068>. But the

foundation <03245> <00> of the temple <01964> of the LORD

<03068> was not yet laid <03245> (8795).

Ezr 03:07 They gave <05414> (8799) money <03701> also unto the

masons <02672> (8802), and to the carpenters <02796>; and meat

<03978>, and drink <04960>, and oil <08081>, unto them of Zidon

<06722>, and to them of Tyre <06876>, to bring <0935> (8687)

cedar <0730> trees <06086> from Lebanon <03844> to the sea

<03220> of Joppa <03305>, according to the grant <07558> that

they had of Cyrus <03566> king <04428> of Persia <06539>.

Ezr 03:08 ¶ Now in the second <08145> year <08141> of their

coming <0935> (8800) unto the house <01004> of God <0430> at

Jerusalem <03389>, in the second <08145> month <02320>, began

<02490> (8689) Zerubbabel <02216> the son <01121> of Shealtiel

<07597>, and Jeshua <03442> the son <01121> of Jozadak <03136>,

and the remnant <07605> of their brethren <0251> the priests

<03548> and the Levites <03881>, and all they that were come out

<0935> (8802) of the captivity <07628> unto Jerusalem <03389>;

and appointed <05975> (8686) the Levites <03881>, from twenty

<06242> years <08141> old <01121> and upward <04605>, to set

forward <05329> (8763) the work <04399> of the house <01004> of

the LORD <03068>.

Ezr 03:09 Then stood <05975> (8799) Jeshua <03442> with his

sons <01121> and his brethren <0251>, Kadmiel <06934> and his

sons <01121>, the sons <01121> of Judah <03063>, together <0259>,

to set forward <05329> (8763) the workmen <06213> (8802)

<04399> in the house <01004> of God <0430>: the sons <01121> of

Henadad <02582>, with their sons <01121> and their brethren

<0251> the Levites <03881>.

Ezr 03:10 And when the builders <01129> (8802) laid the

foundation <03245> (8765) of the temple <01964> of the LORD

<03068>, they set <05975> (8686) the priests <03548> in their

apparel <03847> (8794) with trumpets <02689>, and the Levites

<03881> the sons <01121> of Asaph <0623> with cymbals <04700>,

to praise <01984> (8763) the LORD <03068>, after the ordinance

<03027> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478>.

Ezr 03:11 And they sang together by course <06030> (8799) in

praising <01984> (8763) and giving thanks <03034> (8687) unto

the LORD <03068>; because he is good <02896>, for his mercy

<02617> endureth for ever <05769> toward Israel <03478>. And all

the people <05971> shouted <07321> (8689) with a great <01419>

shout <08643>, when they praised <01984> (8763) the LORD <03068>,

because the foundation <03245> <00> of the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068> was laid <03245> (8717).

Ezr 03:12 But many <07227> of the priests <03548> and Levites

<03881> and chief <07218> of the fathers <01>, who were ancient

men <02205>, that had seen <07200> (8804) the first <07223>

house <01004>, when the foundation <03245> <00> of this house

<01004> was laid <03245> (8800) before their eyes <05869>, wept

<01058> (8802) with a loud <01419> voice <06963>; and many

<07227> shouted <08643> aloud <07311> (8687) for joy <08057>:

Ezr 03:13 So that the people <05971> could not discern <05234>

(8688) the noise <06963> of the shout <08643> of joy <08057>

from the noise <06963> of the weeping <01065> of the people

<05971>: for the people <05971> shouted <07321> (8688) with a

loud <01419> shout <08643>, and the noise <06963> was heard

<08085> (8738) afar off <07350>.

Ezr 04:01 ¶ Now when the adversaries <06862> of Judah <03063>

and Benjamin <01144> heard <08085> (8799) that the children

<01121> of the captivity <01473> builded <01129> (8802) the

temple <01964> unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel

<03478>;

Ezr 04:02 Then they came <05066> (8799) to Zerubbabel <02216>,

and to the chief <07218> of the fathers <01>, and said <0559>

(8799) unto them, Let us build <01129> (8799) with you: for we

seek <01875> (8799) your God <0430>, as ye do; and we do

sacrifice <02076> (8802) unto him since the days <03117> of

Esarhaddon <0634> king <04428> of Assur <0804>, which brought us

up hither <05927> (8688).

Ezr 04:03 But Zerubbabel <02216>, and Jeshua <03442>, and the

rest <07605> of the chief <07218> of the fathers <01> of Israel

<03478>, said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye have nothing to do

with us to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> unto our God

<0430>; but we ourselves together <03162> will build <01129>

(8799) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, as

king <04428> Cyrus <03566> the king <04428> of Persia <06539>

hath commanded <06680> (8765) us.

Ezr 04:04 Then the people <05971> of the land <0776> weakened

<07503> (8764) the hands <03027> of the people <05971> of Judah

<03063>, and troubled <0926> (8764) (8675) <01089> (8764) them

in building <01129> (8800),

Ezr 04:05 And hired <07936> (8802) counsellors <03289> (8802)

against them, to frustrate <06565> (8687) their purpose <06098>,

all the days <03117> of Cyrus <03566> king <04428> of Persia

<06539>, even until the reign <04438> of Darius <01867> king

<04428> of Persia <06539>.

Ezr 04:06 ¶ And in the reign <04438> of Ahasuerus <0325>, in the

beginning <08462> of his reign <04438>, wrote <03789> (8804)

they unto him an accusation <07855> against the inhabitants

<03427> (8802) of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>.

Ezr 04:07 And in the days <03117> of Artaxerxes <0783> wrote

<03789> (8804) Bishlam <01312>, Mithredath <04990>, Tabeel

<02870>, and the rest <07605> of their companions <03674>, unto

Artaxerxes <0783> king <04428> of Persia <06539>; and the

writing <03791> of the letter <05406> was written <03789> (8803)

in the Syrian tongue <0762>, and interpreted <08638> (8794) in

the Syrian tongue <0762>.

Ezr 04:08 Rehum <07348> the chancellor <01169> <02942> and

Shimshai <08124> the scribe <05613> wrote <03790> (8754) a

<02298> letter <0104> against <05922> Jerusalem <03390> to

Artaxerxes <0783> the king <04430> in this sort <03660>:

Ezr 04:09 Then <0116> wrote Rehum <07348> the chancellor

<01169> <02942>, and Shimshai <08124> the scribe <05613>, and

the rest <07606> of their companions <03675>; the Dinaites

<01784>, the Apharsathchites <0671>, the Tarpelites <02967>, the

Apharsites <0670>, the Archevites <0756>, the Babylonians <0896>,

the Susanchites <07801>, the Dehavites <01723>, and the

Elamites <05962>,

Ezr 04:10 And the rest <07606> of the nations <0524> whom

<01768> the great <07229> and noble <03358> Asnappar <0620>

brought over <01541> (8684), and set <03488> (8684) <01994> in

the cities <07149> of Samaria <08115>, and the rest <07606> that

are on this side <05675> the river <05103>, and at such a time

<03706>.

Ezr 04:11 This <01836> is the copy <06573> of the letter <0104>

that <01768> they sent <07972> (8754) unto him <05922>, even

unto Artaxerxes <0783> the king <04430>; Thy servants <05649>

the men <0606> on this side <05675> the river <05103>, and at

such a time <03706>.

Ezr 04:12 Be it <01934> (8748) known <03046> (8752) unto the

king <04430>, that the Jews <03062> which <01768> came up

<05559> (8760) from <04481> thee <03890> to us <05922> are come

<0858> (8754) unto Jerusalem <03390>, building <01124> (8750)

the rebellious <04779> and the bad <0873> city <07149>, and have

set up <03635> (8806) (8675) <03635> (8720) the walls <07792>

thereof, and joined <02338> (8681) the foundations <0787>.

Ezr 04:13 Be it known <03046> (8752) <01934> (8748) now <03705>

unto the king <04430>, that, if <02006> this <01791> city

<07149> be builded <01124> (8731), and the walls <07792> set up

<03635> (8720) again, then will they not <03809> pay <05415>

(8748) toll <04061>, tribute <01093>, and custom <01983>, and so

thou shalt endamage <05142> (8681) the revenue <0674> of the

kings <04430>.

Ezr 04:14 Now <03705> because <06903> <03606> we have <01768>

maintenance <04415> (8754) <04416> from the king’s palace

<01965>, and it was not <03809> meet <0749> (8750) for us to see

<02370> (8749) the king’s <04430> dishonour <06173>, therefore

<05922> <01836> have we sent <07972> (8754) and certified

<03046> (8684) the king <04430>;

Ezr 04:15 That search <01240> (8741) may be made in the book

<05609> of the records <01799> of thy fathers <02>: so shalt

thou find <07912> (8681) in the book <05609> of the records

<01799>, and know <03046> (8748) that this <01791> city <07149>

is a rebellious <04779> city <07149>, and hurtful <05142> (8683)

unto kings <04430> and provinces <04083>, and that they have

moved <05648> (8751) sedition <0849> within the same <01459> of

<04481> old <05957> time <03118>: for <05922> which <01836>

cause was this <01791> city <07149> destroyed <02718> (8717).

Ezr 04:16 We <0586> certify <03046> (8683) the king <04430>

that, if <02006> this <01791> city <07149> be builded <01124>

(8731) again, and the walls <07792> thereof set up <03635>

(8720), by this <01836> means <06903> thou shalt have <0383> no

<03809> portion <02508> on this side <05675> the river <05103>.

Ezr 04:17 ¶ Then sent <07972> (8754) the king <04430> an answer

<06600> unto <05922> Rehum <07348> the chancellor <01169>

<02942>, and to Shimshai <08124> the scribe <05613>, and to the

rest <07606> of their companions <03675> that dwell <03488>

(8750) in Samaria <08115>, and unto the rest <07606> beyond

<05675> the river <05103>, Peace <08001>, and at such a time

<03706>.

Ezr 04:18 The letter <05407> which ye sent <07972> (8754) unto

us <05922> hath been plainly <06568> (8744) read <07123> (8752)

before <06925> me.

Ezr 04:19 And I <04481> commanded <07761> (8752) <02942>, and

search <01240> (8745) hath been made, and it is found <07912>

(8684) that this <01791> city <07149> of <04481> old <05957>

time <03118> hath made insurrection <05376> (8723) against

<05922> kings <04430>, and that rebellion <04776> and sedition

<0849> have been made <05648> (8727) therein.

Ezr 04:20 There have been <01934> (8754) mighty <08624> kings

<04430> also over <05922> Jerusalem <03390>, which have ruled

<07990> over all <03606> countries beyond <05675> the river

<05103>; and toll <04061>, tribute <01093>, and custom <01983>,

was paid <03052> (8727) unto them.

Ezr 04:21 Give <07761> (8747) ye now <03705> commandment

<02942> to cause <0989> <00> these <0479> men <01400> to cease

<0989> (8749), and that this <01791> city <07149> be not <03809>

builded <01124> (8731), until <05705> another commandment

<02941> shall be given <07761> (8725) from me <04481>.

Ezr 04:22 Take heed <01934> (8747) <02095> (8750) now that ye

fail <07960> not to do <05922> <05648> (8749) this <01836>: why

<04101> should damage <02257> grow <07680> (8748) to the hurt

<05142> (8682) of the kings <04430>?

Ezr 04:23 Now <0116> when <04481> <01768> the copy <06573> of

king <04430> Artaxerxes <0783>‘ letter <05407> was read <07123>

(8752) before <06925> Rehum <07348>, and Shimshai <08124> the

scribe <05613>, and their companions <03675>, they went up

<0236> (8754) in haste <0924> to Jerusalem <03390> unto <05922>

the Jews <03062>, and made them <01994> to cease <0989> (8754)

by force <0153> and power <02429>.

Ezr 04:24 Then <0116> ceased <0989> (8754) the work <05673> of

the house <01005> of God <0426> which is at Jerusalem <03390>.

So it ceased <01934> (8754) <0989> (8750) unto <05705> the

second <08648> year <08140> of the reign <04437> of Darius

<01868> king <04430> of Persia <06540>.

Ezr 05:01 ¶ Then the prophets <05029>, Haggai <02292> the

prophet <05029>, and Zechariah <02148> the son <01247> of Iddo

<05714>, prophesied <05013> (8724) unto <05922> the Jews <03062>

that were in Judah <03061> and Jerusalem <03390> in the name

<08036> of the God <0426> of Israel <03479>, even unto <05922>

them.

Ezr 05:02 Then <0116> rose up <06966> (8754) Zerubbabel <02217>

the son <01247> of Shealtiel <07598>, and Jeshua <03443> the son

<01247> of Jozadak <03136>, and began <08271> (8745) to build

<01124> (8749) the house <01005> of God <0426> which is at

Jerusalem <03390>: and with them <05974> were the prophets

<05029> of God <0426> helping <05583> (8683) them.

Ezr 05:03 ¶ At the same time <02166> came <0858> (8754) to them

Tatnai <08674>, governor <06347> on this side <05675> the river

<05103>, and Shetharboznai <08370>, and their companions <03675>,

and said <0560> (8750) thus <03652> unto them <05922>, Who

<04479> hath commanded <07761> (8754) <02942> you to build

<01124> (8749) this <01836> house <01005>, and to make up

<03635> (8805) this <01836> wall <0846>?

Ezr 05:04 Then <0116> said <0560> (8754) we unto them after

this manner <03660>, What <04479> are <0581> the names <08036>

of the men <01400> that make <01124> (8750) this <01836>

building <01147>?

Ezr 05:05 But the eye <05870> of their God <0426> was <01934>

(8754) upon <05922> the elders <07868> (8750) of the Jews

<03062>, that they could not <03809> cause <0989> <00> them

<01994> to cease <0989> (8754), till <05705> the matter <02941>

came <01946> (8748) to Darius <01868>: and then <0116> they

returned answer <08421> (8681) by letter <05407> concerning

<05922> this <01836> matter.

Ezr 05:06 The copy <06573> of the letter <0104> that Tatnai

<08674>, governor <06347> on this side <05675> the river <05103>,

and Shetharboznai <08370>, and his companions <03675> the

Apharsachites <0671>, which were on this side <05675> the river

<05103>, sent <07972> (8754) unto <05922> Darius <01868> the

king <04430>:

Ezr 05:07 They sent <07972> (8754) a letter <06600> unto

<05922> him, wherein <01459> was written <03790> (8752) thus

<01836>; Unto Darius <01868> the king <04430>, all <03606> peace

<08001>.

Ezr 05:08 Be it known <01934> (8748) <03046> (8752) unto the

king <04430>, that we went <0236> (8754) into the province

<04083> of Judea <03061>, to the house <01005> of the great

<07229> God <0426>, which is builded <01124> (8732) with great

<01560> stones <069>, and timber <0636> is laid <07761> (8727)

in the walls <03797>, and this <01791> work <05673> goeth

<05648> (8727) fast <0629> on, and prospereth <06744> (8683) in

their hands <03028>.

Ezr 05:09 Then <0116> asked <07593> (8754) we those <0479>

elders <07868> (8750), and said <0560> (8754) unto them thus

<03660>, Who <04479> commanded <07761> (8754) <02942> you to

build <01124> (8749) this <01836> house <01005>, and to make up

<03635> (8805) these <01836> walls <0846>?

Ezr 05:10 We asked <07593> (8754) their names <08036> also

<0638>, to certify <03046> (8682) thee, that we might write

<03790> (8748) the names <08036> of the men <01400> that were

the chief <07217> of them.

Ezr 05:11 And thus <03660> they returned <08421> (8684) us

answer <06600>, saying <0560> (8749), We <0586> are <01994> the

servants <05649> of the God <0426> of heaven <08065> and earth

<0772>, and build <01124> (8750) the house <01005> that was

<01934> (8754) builded <01124> (8752) these <01836> many <07690>

years <08140> ago <06928>, which a great <07229> king <04430> of

Israel <03479> builded <01124> (8754) and set up <03635> (8806).

Ezr 05:12 But <03861> after <04481> that our fathers <02> had

provoked <07265> <00> the God <0426> of heaven <08065> unto

wrath <07265> (8684), he gave <03052> (8754) them <01994> into

the hand <03028> of Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> of

Babylon <0895>, the Chaldean <03679>, who destroyed <05642>

(8754) this <01836> house <01005>, and carried <01541> <00> the

people <05972> away <01541> (8684) into Babylon <0895>.

Ezr 05:13 But <01297> in the first <02298> year <08140> of

Cyrus <03567> the king <04430> of Babylon <0895> the same king

<04430> Cyrus <03567> made <07761> (8754) a decree <02942> to

build <01124> (8749) this <01836> house <01005> of God <0426>.

Ezr 05:14 And the vessels <03984> also <0638> of <01768> gold

<01722> and silver <03702> of the house <01005> of God <0426>,

which Nebuchadnezzar <05020> took <05312> (8684) out of <04481>

the temple <01965> that was in Jerusalem <03390>, and brought

<02987> (8684) them into the temple <01965> of Babylon <0895>,

those <01994> did Cyrus <03567> the king <04430> take <05312>

(8684) out of <04481> the temple <01965> of Babylon <0895>, and

they were delivered <03052> (8753) unto one, whose name <08036>

was Sheshbazzar <08340>, whom he had made <07761> (8754)

governor <06347>;

Ezr 05:15 And said <0560> (8754) unto him, Take <05376> (8747)

these <0412> vessels <03984>, go <0236> (8747), carry <05182>

(8680) them <01994> into the temple <01965> that is in Jerusalem

<03390>, and let the house <01005> of God <0426> be builded

<01124> (8731) in <05922> his place <0870>.

Ezr 05:16 Then <0116> came <0858> (8754) the same <01791>

Sheshbazzar <08340>, and laid <03052> (8754) the foundation

<0787> of the house <01005> of God <0426> which is in Jerusalem

<03390>: and since <04481> that time <0116> even until <05705>

now <03705> hath it been in building <01124> (8732), and yet it

is not <03809> finished <08000> (8752).

Ezr 05:17 Now <03705> therefore, if <02006> it seem good

<02869> to <05922> the king <04430>, let there be search <01240>

(8721) made in the king’s <04430> treasure <01596> house <01005>,

which is there <08536> at Babylon <0895>, whether <02006> it be

<0383> so, that a decree <02942> was made <07761> (8752) of

<04481> Cyrus <03567> the king <04430> to build <01124> (8749)

this <01791> house <01005> of God <0426> at Jerusalem <03390>,

and let the king <04430> send <07972> (8748) his pleasure

<07470> to us concerning <05922> this matter <01836>.

Ezr 06:01 ¶ Then <0116> Darius <01868> the king <04430> made

<07761> (8754) a decree <02942>, and search <01240> (8745) was

made in the house <01005> of the rolls <05609>, where <08536>

the treasures <01596> were laid up <05182> (8683) in Babylon

<0895>.

Ezr 06:02 And there was found <07912> (8728) at Achmetha <0307>,

in the palace <01001> that is in the province <04083> of the

Medes <04076>, a <02298> roll <04040>, and therein <01459> was a

record <01799> thus <03652> written <03790> (8752):

Ezr 06:03 In the first <02298> year <08140> of Cyrus <03567>

the king <04430> the same Cyrus <03567> the king <04430> made

<07761> (8754) a decree <02942> concerning the house <01005> of

God <0426> at Jerusalem <03390>, Let the house <01005> be

builded <01124> (8731), the place <0870> where they offered

<01684> (8751) sacrifices <01685>, and let the foundations

<0787> thereof be strongly laid <05446> (8775); the height

<07314> thereof threescore <08361> cubits <0521>, and the

breadth <06613> thereof threescore <08361> cubits <0521>;

Ezr 06:04 With three <08532> rows <05073> of great <01560>

stones <069>, and a row <05073> of new <02323> timber <0636>:

and let the expenses <05313> be given <03052> (8725) out of

<04481> the king’s <04430> house <01005>:

Ezr 06:05 And also <0638> let the golden <01722> and silver

<03702> vessels <03984> of the house <01005> of God <0426>,

which Nebuchadnezzar <05020> took forth <05312> (8684) out of

<04481> the temple <01965> which is at Jerusalem <03390>, and

brought <02987> (8684) unto Babylon <0895>, be restored <08421>

(8681), and brought again <01946> (8748) unto the temple <01965>

which is at Jerusalem <03390>, every one to his place <0870>,

and place <05182> (8681) them in the house <01005> of God <0426>.

Ezr 06:06 Now <03705> therefore, Tatnai <08674>, governor

<06347> beyond <05675> the river <05103>, Shetharboznai <08370>,

and your companions <03675> the Apharsachites <0671>, which are

beyond <05675> the river <05103>, be ye <01934> (8754) far

<07352> from <04481> thence <08536>:

Ezr 06:07 Let the work <05673> of this <01791> house <01005> of

God <0426> alone <07662> (8747); let the governor <06347> of the

Jews <03062> and the elders <07868> (8750) of the Jews <03062>

build <01124> (8748) this <01791> house <01005> of God <0426> in

<05922> his place <0870>.

Ezr 06:08 Moreover I <04481> make <07761> (8752) a decree

<02942> what <03964> ye shall do <05648> (8748) to <05974> the

elders <07868> (8750) of these <0479> Jews <03062> for the

building <01124> (8749) of this <01791> house <01005> of God

<0426>: that of the king’s <04430> goods <05232>, even of

<01768> the tribute <04061> beyond <05675> the river <05103>,

forthwith <0629> expenses <05313> be <01934> (8748) given

<03052> (8727) unto these <0479> men <01400>, that they be not

<03809> hindered <0989> (8749).

Ezr 06:09 And that which <04101> they have need of <02818>

(8750), both young <01123> bullocks <08450>, and rams <01798>,

and lambs <0563>, for the burnt offerings <05928> of the God

<0426> of heaven <08065>, wheat <02591>, salt <04416>, wine

<02562>, and oil <04887>, according to the appointment <03983>

of the priests <03549> which are at Jerusalem <03390>, let it be

<01934> (8748) given <03052> (8727) them day <03118> by day

<03118> without <03809> fail <07960>:

Ezr 06:10 That they may offer <01934> (8748) <07127> (8683)

sacrifices of sweet savours <05208> unto the God <0426> of

heaven <08065>, and pray <06739> (8743) for the life <02417> of

the king <04430>, and of his sons <01123>.

Ezr 06:11 Also <04481> I have made <07761> (8752) a decree

<02942>, that whosoever <03606> <0606> shall alter <08133>

(8681) this <01836> word <06600>, let timber <0636> be pulled

down <05256> (8725) from <04481> his house <01005>, and being

set up <02211> (8752), let him be hanged <04223> (8725) thereon

<05922>; and let his house <01005> be made <05648> (8725) a

dunghill <05122> for <05922> this <01836>.

Ezr 06:12 And the God <0426> that hath caused his name <08036>

to dwell <07932> (8745) there <08536> destroy <04049> (8741) all

<03606> kings <04430> and people <05972>, that shall put <07972>

(8748) to their hand <03028> to alter <08133> (8682) and to

destroy <02255> (8742) this <01791> house <01005> of God <0426>

which is at Jerusalem <03390>. I <0576> Darius <01868> have made

<07761> (8754) a decree <02942>; let it be done <05648> (8725)

with speed <0629>.

Ezr 06:13 ¶ Then <0116> Tatnai <08674>, governor <06347> on this

side <05675> the river <05103>, Shetharboznai <08370>, and their

companions <03675>, according <06903> to that which Darius

<01868> the king <04430> had sent <07972> (8754), so <03660>

they did <05648> (8754) speedily <0629>.

Ezr 06:14 And the elders <07868> (8750) of the Jews <03062>

builded <01124> (8750), and they prospered <06744> (8683)

through the prophesying <05017> of Haggai <02292> the prophet

<05029> and Zechariah <02148> the son <01247> of Iddo <05714>.

And they builded <01124> (8754), and finished <03635> (8806) it,

according <04481> to the commandment <02941> of the God <0426>

of Israel <03479>, and according to the commandment <02942> of

Cyrus <03567>, and Darius <01868>, and Artaxerxes <0783> king

<04430> of Persia <06540>.

Ezr 06:15 And this <01836> house <01005> was finished <03319>

(8806) on <05705> the third <08532> day <03118> of the month

<03393> Adar <0144>, which was <01932> in the sixth <08353> year

<08140> of the reign <04437> of Darius <01868> the king <04430>.

Ezr 06:16 And the children <01123> of Israel <03479>, the

priests <03549>, and the Levites <03879>, and the rest <07606>

of the children <01123> of the captivity <01547>, kept <05648>

(8754) the dedication <02597> of this <01836> house <01005> of

God <0426> with joy <02305>,

Ezr 06:17 And offered <07127> (8684) at the dedication <02597>

of this <01836> house <01005> of God <0426> an hundred <03969>

bullocks <08450>, two hundred <03969> rams <01798>, four <0703>

hundred <03969> lambs <0563>; and for a sin offering <02402>

(8675) <02409> for <05922> all <03606> Israel <03479>, twelve

<08648> <06236> he <06841> goats <05796>, according to the

number <04510> of the tribes <07625> of Israel <03479>.

Ezr 06:18 And they set <06966> (8684) the priests <03549> in

their divisions <06392>, and the Levites <03879> in their

courses <04255>, for <05922> the service <05673> of God <0426>,

which is at Jerusalem <03390>; as it is written <03792> in the

book <05609> of Moses <04873>.

Ezr 06:19 And the children <01121> of the captivity <01473>

kept <06213> (8799) the passover <06453> upon the fourteenth

<0702> <06240> day of the first <07223> month <02320>.

Ezr 06:20 For the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881> were

purified <02891> (8694) together <0259>, all of them were pure

<02889>, and killed <07819> (8799) the passover <06453> for all

the children <01121> of the captivity <01473>, and for their

brethren <0251> the priests <03548>, and for themselves.

Ezr 06:21 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, which

were come again <07725> (8802) out of captivity <01473>, and all

such as had separated <0914> (8737) themselves unto them from

the filthiness <02932> of the heathen <01471> of the land <0776>,

to seek <01875> (8800) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel

<03478>, did eat <0398> (8799),

Ezr 06:22 And kept <06213> (8799) the feast <02282> of

unleavened bread <04682> seven <07651> days <03117> with joy

<08057>: for the LORD <03068> had made them joyful <08055>

(8765), and turned <05437> (8689) the heart <03820> of the king

<04428> of Assyria <0804> unto them, to strengthen <02388>

(8763) their hands <03027> in the work <04399> of the house

<01004> of God <0430>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

Ezr 07:01 ¶ Now after <0310> these things <01697>, in the reign

<04438> of Artaxerxes <0783> king <04428> of Persia <06539>,

Ezra <05830> the son <01121> of Seraiah <08304>, the son <01121>

of Azariah <05838>, the son <01121> of Hilkiah <02518>,

Ezr 07:02 The son <01121> of Shallum <07967>, the son <01121>

of Zadok <06659>, the son <01121> of Ahitub <0285>,

Ezr 07:03 The son <01121> of Amariah <0568>, the son <01121> of

Azariah <05838>, the son <01121> of Meraioth <04812>,

Ezr 07:04 The son <01121> of Zerahiah <02228>, the son <01121>

of Uzzi <05813>, the son <01121> of Bukki <01231>,

Ezr 07:05 The son <01121> of Abishua <050>, the son <01121> of

Phinehas <06372>, the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499>, the son

<01121> of Aaron <0175> the chief <07218> priest <03548>:

Ezr 07:06 This Ezra <05830> went up <05927> (8804) from Babylon

<0894>; and he was a ready <04106> scribe <05608> (8802) in the

law <08451> of Moses <04872>, which the LORD <03068> God <0430>

of Israel <03478> had given <05414> (8804): and the king <04428>

granted <05414> (8799) him all his request <01246>, according to

the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> his God <0430> upon him.

Ezr 07:07 And there went up <05927> (8799) some of the children

<01121> of Israel <03478>, and of the priests <03548>, and the

Levites <03881>, and the singers <07891> (8789), and the porters

<07778>, and the Nethinims <05411>, unto Jerusalem <03389>, in

the seventh <07651> year <08141> of Artaxerxes <0783> the king

<04428>.

Ezr 07:08 And he came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389> in the

fifth <02549> month <02320>, which was in the seventh <07637>

year <08141> of the king <04428>.

Ezr 07:09 For upon the first <0259> day of the first <07223>

month <02320> began <03246> he to go up <04609> from Babylon

<0894>, and on the first <0259> day of the fifth <02549> month

<02320> came <0935> (8804) he to Jerusalem <03389>, according to

the good <02896> hand <03027> of his God <0430> upon him.

Ezr 07:10 For Ezra <05830> had prepared <03559> (8689) his

heart <03824> to seek <01875> (8800) the law <08451> of the LORD

<03068>, and to do <06213> (8800) it, and to teach <03925>

(8763) in Israel <03478> statutes <02706> and judgments <04941>.

Ezr 07:11 ¶ Now this is the copy <06572> of the letter <05406>

that the king <04428> Artaxerxes <0783> gave <05414> (8804) unto

Ezra <05830> the priest <03548>, the scribe <05608> (8802), even

a scribe <05608> (8802) of the words <01697> of the commandments

<04687> of the LORD <03068>, and of his statutes <02706> to

Israel <03478>.

Ezr 07:12 Artaxerxes <0783>, king <04430> of kings <04430>,

unto Ezra <05831> the priest <03549>, a scribe <05613> of the

law <01882> of the God <0426> of heaven <08065>, perfect <01585>

(8752) peace, and at such a time <03706>.

Ezr 07:13 I <04481> make <07761> (8752) a decree <02942>, that

all <03606> they of <04481> the people <05972> of Israel <03479>,

and of his priests <03549> and Levites <03879>, in my realm

<04437>, which are minded of their own freewill <05069> (8723)

to go up <01946> (8749) to Jerusalem <03390>, go <01946> (8748)

with thee <05974>.

Ezr 07:14 Forasmuch <01768> <06903> as <03606> thou art sent

<07972> (8750) of <04481> <06925> the king <04430>, and of his

seven <07655> counsellors <03272> (8750), to enquire <01240>

(8742) concerning <05922> Judah <03061> and Jerusalem <03390>,

according to the law <01882> of thy God <0426> which is in thine

hand <03028>;

Ezr 07:15 And to carry <02987> (8682) the silver <03702> and

gold <01722>, which the king <04430> and his counsellors <03272>

(8750) have freely offered <05069> (8724) unto the God <0426> of

Israel <03479>, whose <01768> habitation <04907> is in Jerusalem

<03390>,

Ezr 07:16 And all <03606> the silver <03702> and gold <01722>

that thou canst find <07912> (8681) in all <03606> the province

<04083> of Babylon <0895>, with <05974> the freewill offering

<05069> (8722) of the people <05972>, and of the priests <03549>,

offering willingly <05069> (8723) for the house <01005> of

their God <0426> which is in Jerusalem <03390>:

Ezr 07:17 That <03606> <06903> thou mayest buy <07066> (8748)

speedily <0629> with this <01836> money <03702> bullocks <08450>,

rams <01798>, lambs <0563>, with their meat offerings <04504>

and their drink offerings <05261>, and offer <07127> (8741) them

<01994> upon <05922> the altar <04056> of the house <01005> of

your God <0426> which is in Jerusalem <03390>.

Ezr 07:18 And whatsoever <04101> <01768> shall seem good

<03191> (8748) to thee, and to <05922> thy brethren <0252>, to

do <05648> (8749) with the rest <07606> of the silver <03702>

and the gold <01722>, that do <05648> (8748) after the will

<07470> of your God <0426>.

Ezr 07:19 The vessels <03984> also that are given <03052>

(8727) thee for the service <06402> of the house <01005> of thy

God <0426>, those deliver <08000> (8680) thou before <06925> the

God <0426> of Jerusalem <03390>.

Ezr 07:20 And whatsoever more <07606> shall be needful <02819>

for the house <01005> of thy God <0426>, which thou shalt have

occasion <05308> (8748) to bestow <05415> (8749), bestow <05415>

(8748) it out of <04481> the king’s <04430> treasure <01596>

house <01005>.

Ezr 07:21 And I <04481>, even I <0576> Artaxerxes <0783> the

king <04430>, do make <07761> (8752) a decree <02942> to all

<03606> the treasurers <01490> which are beyond <05675> the

river <05103>, that whatsoever Ezra <05831> the priest <03549>,

the scribe <05613> of the law <01882> of the God <0426> of

heaven <08065>, shall require <07593> (8748) of you, it be done

<05648> (8725) speedily <0629>,

Ezr 07:22 Unto <05705> an hundred <03969> talents <03604> of

silver <03702>, and to an hundred <03969> measures <03734> of

wheat <02591>, and to an hundred <03969> baths <01325> of wine

<02562>, and to an hundred <03969> baths <01325> of oil <04887>,

and salt <04416> without <03809> prescribing <03792> how much.

Ezr 07:23 Whatsoever <03606> is commanded by <02941> <04481>

the God <0426> of heaven <08065>, let it be diligently <0149>

done <05648> (8725) for the house <01005> of the God <0426> of

heaven <08065>: for <01768> why <04101> should there be <01934>

(8748) wrath <07109> against <05922> the realm <04437> of the

king <04430> and his sons <01123>?

Ezr 07:24 Also we certify <03046> (8683) you, that touching any

<03606> of the priests <03549> and Levites <03879>, singers

<02171>, porters <08652>, Nethinims <05412>, or ministers

<06399> (8750) of this <01836> house <01005> of God <0426>, it

shall not <03809> be lawful <07990> to impose <07412> (8749)

toll <04061>, tribute <01093>, or custom <01983>, upon <05922>

them.

Ezr 07:25 And thou <0607>, Ezra <05831>, after the wisdom

<02452> of thy God <0426>, that is in thine hand <03028>, set

<04483> (8740) magistrates <08200> (8751) and judges <01782>,

which may judge <01934> (8748) <01778> (8751) all <03606> the

people <05972> that are beyond <05675> the river <05103>, all

<03606> such as know <03046> (8751) the laws <01882> of thy God

<0426>; and teach <03046> (8681) ye them that know <03046>

(8751) them not <03809>.

Ezr 07:26 And whosoever <03606> will not <03809> do <01934>

(8748) <05648> (8751) the law <01882> of thy God <0426>, and the

law <01882> of the king <04430>, let judgment <01780> be <01934>

(8748) executed <05648> (8727) speedily <0629> upon him <04481>,

whether <02006> it be unto death <04193>, or <02006> to

banishment <08332>, or <02006> to confiscation <06065> of goods

<05232>, or to imprisonment <0613>.

Ezr 07:27 ¶ Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> God

<0430> of our fathers <01>, which hath put <05414> (8804) such a

thing as this in the king’s <04428> heart <03820>, to beautify

<06286> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> which is in

Jerusalem <03389>:

Ezr 07:28 And hath extended <05186> (8689) mercy <02617> unto

me before <06440> the king <04428>, and his counsellors <03289>

(8802), and before all the king’s <04428> mighty <01368> princes

<08269>. And I was strengthened <02388> (8694) as the hand

<03027> of the LORD <03068> my God <0430> was upon me, and I

gathered together <06908> (8799) out of Israel <03478> chief men

<07218> to go up <05927> (8800) with me.

Ezr 08:01 ¶ These are now the chief <07218> of their fathers

<01>, and this is the genealogy <03187> (8692) of them that went

up <05927> (8802) with me from Babylon <0894>, in the reign

<04438> of Artaxerxes <0783> the king <04428>.

Ezr 08:02 Of the sons <01121> of Phinehas <06372>; Gershom

<01647>: of the sons <01121> of Ithamar <0385>; Daniel <01840>:

of the sons <01121> of David <01732>; Hattush <02407>.

Ezr 08:03 Of the sons <01121> of Shechaniah <07935>, of the

sons <01121> of Pharosh <06551>; Zechariah <02148>: and with him

were reckoned by genealogy <03187> (8692) of the males <02145>

an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>.

Ezr 08:04 Of the sons <01121> of Pahathmoab <06355>; Elihoenai

<0454> the son <01121> of Zerahiah <02228>, and with him two

hundred <03967> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:05 Of the sons <01121> of Shechaniah <07935>; the son

<01121> of Jahaziel <03166>, and with him three <07969> hundred

<03967> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:06 Of the sons <01121> also of Adin <05720>; Ebed

<05651> the son <01121> of Jonathan <03129>, and with him fifty

<02572> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:07 And of the sons <01121> of Elam <05867>; Jeshaiah

<03470> the son <01121> of Athaliah <06271>, and with him

seventy <07657> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:08 And of the sons <01121> of Shephatiah <08203>;

Zebadiah <02069> the son <01121> of Michael <04317>, and with

him fourscore <08084> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:09 Of the sons <01121> of Joab <03097>; Obadiah <05662>

the son <01121> of Jehiel <03171>, and with him two hundred

<03967> and eighteen <08083> <06240> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:10 And of the sons <01121> of Shelomith <08019>; the son

<01121> of Josiphiah <03131>, and with him an hundred <03967>

and threescore <08346> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:11 And of the sons <01121> of Bebai <0893>; Zechariah

<02148> the son <01121> of Bebai <0893>, and with him twenty

<06242> and eight <08083> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:12 And of the sons <01121> of Azgad <05803>; Johanan

<03110> the son <01121> of Hakkatan <06997>, and with him an

hundred <03967> and ten <06235> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:13 And of the last <0314> sons <01121> of Adonikam

<0140>, whose names <08034> are these, Eliphelet <0467>, Jeiel

<03273>, and Shemaiah <08098>, and with them threescore <08346>

males <02145>.

Ezr 08:14 Of the sons <01121> also of Bigvai <0902>; Uthai

<05793>, and Zabbud <02072> (8675) <02139>, and with them

seventy <07657> males <02145>.

Ezr 08:15 And I gathered them together <06908> (8799) to the

river <05104> that runneth <0935> (8802) to Ahava <0163>; and

there abode we in tents <02583> (8799) three <07969> days

<03117>: and I viewed <0995> (8799) the people <05971>, and the

priests <03548>, and found <04672> (8804) there none of the sons

<01121> of Levi <03878>.

Ezr 08:16 Then sent <07971> (8799) I for Eliezer <0461>, for

Ariel <0740>, for Shemaiah <08098>, and for Elnathan <0494>, and

for Jarib <03402>, and for Elnathan <0494>, and for Nathan

<05416>, and for Zechariah <02148>, and for Meshullam <04918>,

chief men <07218>; also for Joiarib <03114>, and for Elnathan

<0494>, men of understanding <0995> (8688).

Ezr 08:17 And I sent <06680> (8762) them with commandment

<03318> (8686) unto Iddo <0112> the chief <07218> at the place

<04725> Casiphia <03703>, and I told <07760> (8799) <06310> them

what <01697> they should say <01696> (8763) unto Iddo <0112>,

and to his brethren <0251> the Nethinims <05411> (8675) <05411>,

at the place <04725> Casiphia <03703>, that they should bring

<0935> (8687) unto us ministers <08334> (8764) for the house

<01004> of our God <0430>.

Ezr 08:18 And by the good <02896> hand <03027> of our God

<0430> upon us they brought <0935> (8686) us a man <0376> of

understanding <07922>, of the sons <01121> of Mahli <04249>, the

son <01121> of Levi <03878>, the son <01121> of Israel <03478>;

and Sherebiah <08274>, with his sons <01121> and his brethren

<0251>, eighteen <08083> <06240>;

Ezr 08:19 And Hashabiah <02811>, and with him Jeshaiah <03470>

of the sons <01121> of Merari <04847>, his brethren <0251> and

their sons <01121>, twenty <06242>;

Ezr 08:20 Also of the Nethinims <05411>, whom David <01732> and

the princes <08269> had appointed <05414> (8804) for the service

<05656> of the Levites <03881>, two hundred <03967> and twenty

<06242> Nethinims <05411>: all of them were expressed <05344>

(8738) by name <08034>.

Ezr 08:21 ¶ Then I proclaimed <07121> (8799) a fast <06685>

there, at the river <05104> of Ahava <0163>, that we might

afflict <06031> (8692) ourselves before <06440> our God <0430>,

to seek <01245> (8763) of him a right <03477> way <01870> for us,

and for our little ones <02945>, and for all our substance

<07399>.

Ezr 08:22 For I was ashamed <0954> (8804) to require <07592>

(8800) of the king <04428> a band of soldiers <02428> and

horsemen <06571> to help <05826> (8800) us against the enemy

<0341> (8802) in the way <01870>: because we had spoken <0559>

(8804) unto the king <04428>, saying <0559> (8800), The hand

<03027> of our God <0430> is upon all them for good <02896> that

seek <01245> (8764) him; but his power <05797> and his wrath

<0639> is against all them that forsake <05800> (8802) him.

Ezr 08:23 So we fasted <06684> (8799) and besought <01245>

(8762) our God <0430> for this: and he was intreated <06279>

(8735) of us.

Ezr 08:24 ¶ Then I separated <0914> (8686) twelve <08147>

<06240> of the chief <08269> of the priests <03548>, Sherebiah

<08274>, Hashabiah <02811>, and ten <06235> of their brethren

<0251> with them,

Ezr 08:25 And weighed <08254> (8799) unto them the silver

<03701>, and the gold <02091>, and the vessels <03627>, even the

offering <08641> of the house <01004> of our God <0430>, which

the king <04428>, and his counsellors <03289> (8802), and his

lords <08269>, and all Israel <03478> there present <04672>

(8737), had offered <07311> (8689):

Ezr 08:26 I even weighed <08254> (8799) unto their hand <03027>

six <08337> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> talents <03603> of

silver <03701>, and silver <03701> vessels <03627> an hundred

<03967> talents <03603>, and of gold <02091> an hundred <03967>

talents <03603>;

Ezr 08:27 Also twenty <06242> basons <03713> of gold <02091>,

of a thousand <0505> drams <0150>; and two <08147> vessels

<03627> of fine <02896> <06668> (8716) copper <05178>, precious

<02532> as gold <02091>.

Ezr 08:28 And I said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye are holy

<06944> unto the LORD <03068>; the vessels <03627> are holy

<06944> also; and the silver <03701> and the gold <02091> are a

freewill offering <05071> unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of

your fathers <01>.

Ezr 08:29 Watch <08245> (8798) ye, and keep <08104> (8798) them,

until ye weigh <08254> (8799) them before <06440> the chief

<08269> of the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, and

chief <08269> of the fathers <01> of Israel <03478>, at

Jerusalem <03389>, in the chambers <03957> of the house <01004>

of the LORD <03068>.

Ezr 08:30 So took <06901> (8765) the priests <03548> and the

Levites <03881> the weight <04948> of the silver <03701>, and

the gold <02091>, and the vessels <03627>, to bring <0935>

(8687) them to Jerusalem <03389> unto the house <01004> of our

God <0430>.

Ezr 08:31 ¶ Then we departed <05265> (8799) from the river

<05104> of Ahava <0163> on the twelfth <08147> <06240> day of

the first <07223> month <02320>, to go <03212> (8800) unto

Jerusalem <03389>: and the hand <03027> of our God <0430> was

upon us, and he delivered <05337> (8686) us from the hand

<03709> of the enemy <0341> (8802), and of such as lay in wait

<0693> (8802) by the way <01870>.

Ezr 08:32 And we came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>, and

abode <03427> (8799) there three <07969> days <03117>.

Ezr 08:33 Now on the fourth <07243> day <03117> was the silver

<03701> and the gold <02091> and the vessels <03627> weighed

<08254> (8738) in the house <01004> of our God <0430> by the

hand <03027> of Meremoth <04822> the son <01121> of Uriah <0223>

the priest <03548>; and with him was Eleazar <0499> the son

<01121> of Phinehas <06372>; and with them was Jozabad <03107>

the son <01121> of Jeshua <03442>, and Noadiah <05129> the son

<01121> of Binnui <01131>, Levites <03881>;

Ezr 08:34 By number <04557> and by weight <04948> of every one:

and all the weight <04948> was written <03789> (8735) at that

time <06256>.

Ezr 08:35 Also the children <01121> of those that had been

carried away <01473>, which were come out <0935> (8802) of the

captivity <07628>, offered <07126> (8689) burnt offerings

<05930> unto the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, twelve <08147>

<06240> bullocks <06499> for all Israel <03478>, ninety <08673>

and six <08337> rams <0352>, seventy <07657> and seven <07651>

lambs <03532>, twelve <08147> <06240> he goats <06842> for a sin

offering <02403>: all this was a burnt offering <05930> unto the

LORD <03068>.

Ezr 08:36 And they delivered <05414> (8799) the king’s <04428>

commissions <01881> unto the king’s <04428> lieutenants <0323>,

and to the governors <06346> on this side <05676> the river

<05104>: and they furthered <05375> (8765) the people <05971>,

and the house <01004> of God <0430>.

Ezr 09:01 ¶ Now when these things were done <03615> (8763), the

princes <08269> came <05066> (8738) to me, saying <0559> (8800),

The people <05971> of Israel <03478>, and the priests <03548>,

and the Levites <03881>, have not separated <0914> (8738)

themselves from the people <05971> of the lands <0776>, doing

according to their abominations <08441>, even of the Canaanites

<03669>, the Hittites <02850>, the Perizzites <06522>, the

Jebusites <02983>, the Ammonites <05984>, the Moabites <04125>,

the Egyptians <04713>, and the Amorites <0567>.

Ezr 09:02 For they have taken <05375> (8804) of their daughters

<01323> for themselves, and for their sons <01121>: so that the

holy <06944> seed <02233> have mingled <06148> (8694) themselves

with the people <05971> of those lands <0776>: yea, the hand

<03027> of the princes <08269> and rulers <05461> hath been

chief <07223> in this trespass <04604>.

Ezr 09:03 And when I heard <08085> (8800) this thing <01697>, I

rent <07167> (8804) my garment <0899> and my mantle <04598>, and

plucked off <04803> (8799) the hair <08181> of my head <07218>

and of my beard <02206>, and sat down <03427> (8799) astonied

<08074> (8789).

Ezr 09:04 Then were assembled <0622> (8735) unto me every one

that trembled <02730> at the words <01697> of the God <0430> of

Israel <03478>, because of the transgression <04604> of those

that had been carried away <01473>; and I sat <03427> (8802)

astonied <08074> (8789) until the evening <06153> sacrifice

<04503>.

Ezr 09:05 ¶ And at the evening <06153> sacrifice <04503> I arose

up <06965> (8804) from my heaviness <08589>; and having rent

<07167> (8800) my garment <0899> and my mantle <04598>, I fell

<03766> (8799) upon my knees <01290>, and spread out <06566>

(8799) my hands <03709> unto the LORD <03068> my God <0430>,

Ezr 09:06 And said <0559> (8799), O my God <0430>, I am ashamed

<0954> (8804) and blush <03637> (8738) to lift up <07311> (8687)

my face <06440> to thee, my God <0430>: for our iniquities

<05771> are increased <07235> (8804) over <04605> our head

<07218>, and our trespass <0819> is grown up <01431> (8804) unto

the heavens <08064>.

Ezr 09:07 Since the days <03117> of our fathers <01> have we

been in a great <01419> trespass <0819> unto this day <03117>;

and for our iniquities <05771> have we, our kings <04428>, and

our priests <03548>, been delivered <05414> (8738) into the hand

<03027> of the kings <04428> of the lands <0776>, to the sword

<02719>, to captivity <07628>, and to a spoil <0961>, and to

confusion <01322> of face <06440>, as it is this day <03117>.

Ezr 09:08 And now for a little <04592> space <07281> grace

<08467> hath been shewed from the LORD <03068> our God <0430>,

to leave <07604> (8687) us a remnant to escape <06413>, and to

give <05414> (8800) us a nail <03489> in his holy <06944> place

<04725>, that our God <0430> may lighten <0215> (8687) our eyes

<05869>, and give <05414> (8800) us a little <04592> reviving

<04241> in our bondage <05659>.

Ezr 09:09 For we were bondmen <05650>; yet our God <0430> hath

not forsaken <05800> (8804) us in our bondage <05659>, but hath

extended <05186> (8686) mercy <02617> unto us in the sight

<06440> of the kings <04428> of Persia <06539>, to give <05414>

(8800) us a reviving <04241>, to set up <07311> (8788) the house

<01004> of our God <0430>, and to repair <05975> (8687) the

desolations <02723> thereof, and to give <05414> (8800) us a

wall <01447> in Judah <03063> and in Jerusalem <03389>.

Ezr 09:10 And now, O our God <0430>, what shall we say <0559>

(8799) after <0310> this? for we have forsaken <05800> (8804)

thy commandments <04687>,

Ezr 09:11 Which thou hast commanded <06680> (8765) by <03027>

thy servants <05650> the prophets <05030>, saying <0559> (8800),

The land <0776>, unto which ye go <0935> (8802) to possess

<03423> (8800) it, is an unclean <05079> land <0776> with the

filthiness <05079> of the people <05971> of the lands <0776>,

with their abominations <08441>, which have filled <04390>

(8765) it from one end <06310> to another <06310> with their

uncleanness <02932>.

Ezr 09:12 Now therefore give <05414> (8799) not your daughters

<01323> unto their sons <01121>, neither take <05375> (8799)

their daughters <01323> unto your sons <01121>, nor seek <01875>

(8799) their peace <07965> or their wealth <02896> for <05704>

ever <05769>: that ye may be strong <02388> (8799), and eat

<0398> (8804) the good <02898> of the land <0776>, and leave it

for an inheritance <03423> (8689) to your children <01121> for

ever <05769>.

Ezr 09:13 And after <0310> all that is come <0935> (8802) upon

us for our evil <07451> deeds <04639>, and for our great <01419>

trespass <0819>, seeing that thou our God <0430> hast punished

<02820> (8804) us less <04295> than our iniquities <05771>

deserve, and hast given <05414> (8804) us such deliverance

<06413> as this;

Ezr 09:14 Should we again <07725> (8799) break <06565> (8687)

thy commandments <04687>, and join in affinity <02859> (8692)

with the people <05971> of these abominations <08441>? wouldest

not thou be angry <0599> (8799) with us till thou hadst consumed

<03615> (8763) us, so that there should be no remnant <07611>

nor escaping <06413>?

Ezr 09:15 O LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, thou art

righteous <06662>: for we remain <07604> (8738) yet escaped

<06413>, as it is this day <03117>: behold, we are before

<06440> thee in our trespasses <0819>: for we cannot stand

<05975> (8800) before <06440> thee because of this.

Ezr 10:01 ¶ Now when Ezra <05830> had prayed <06419> (8692), and

when he had confessed <03034> (8692), weeping <01058> (8802) and

casting himself down <05307> (8693) before <06440> the house

<01004> of God <0430>, there assembled <06908> (8738) unto him

out of Israel <03478> a very <03966> great <07227> congregation

<06951> of men <0582> and women <0802> and children <03206>: for

the people <05971> wept <01058> (8804) very <07235> (8687) sore

<01059>.

Ezr 10:02 And Shechaniah <07935> the son <01121> of Jehiel

<03171>, one of the sons <01121> of Elam <05867>, answered

<06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto Ezra <05830>, We have

trespassed <04603> (8804) against our God <0430>, and have taken

<03427> (8686) strange <05237> wives <0802> of the people

<05971> of the land <0776>: yet now there is <03426> hope

<04723> in Israel <03478> concerning this thing.

Ezr 10:03 Now therefore let us make <03772> (8799) a covenant

<01285> with our God <0430> to put away <03318> (8687) all the

wives <0802>, and such as are born <03205> (8737) of them,

according to the counsel <06098> of my lord <0136>, and of those

that tremble <02730> at the commandment <04687> of our God

<0430>; and let it be done <06213> (8735) according to the law

<08451>.

Ezr 10:04 Arise <06965> (8798); for this matter <01697>

belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good

courage <02388> (8798), and do <06213> (8798) it.

Ezr 10:05 Then arose <06965> (8799) Ezra <05830>, and made the

chief <08269> priests <03548>, the Levites <03881>, and all

Israel <03478>, to swear <07650> (8686) that they should do

<06213> (8800) according to this word <01697>. And they sware

<07650> (8735).

Ezr 10:06 ¶ Then Ezra <05830> rose up <06965> (8799) from before

<06440> the house <01004> of God <0430>, and went <03212> (8799)

into the chamber <03957> of Johanan <03076> the son <01121> of

Eliashib <0475>: and when he came <03212> (8799) thither, he did

eat <0398> (8804) no bread <03899>, nor drink <08354> (8804)

water <04325>: for he mourned <056> (8693) because of the

transgression <04604> of them that had been carried away <01473>.

Ezr 10:07 And they made proclamation <05674> (8686) <06963>

throughout Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389> unto all the

children <01121> of the captivity <01473>, that they should

gather themselves together <06908> (8736) unto Jerusalem <03389>;

Ezr 10:08 And that whosoever would not come <0935> (8799)

within three <07969> days <03117>, according to the counsel

<06098> of the princes <08269> and the elders <02205>, all his

substance <07399> should be forfeited <02763> (8714), and

himself separated <0914> (8735) from the congregation <06951> of

those that had been carried away <01473>.

Ezr 10:09 Then all the men <0582> of Judah <03063> and Benjamin

<01144> gathered themselves together <06908> (8735) unto

Jerusalem <03389> within three <07969> days <03117>. It was the

ninth <08671> month <02320>, on the twentieth <06242> day of the

month <02320>; and all the people <05971> sat <03427> (8799) in

the street <07339> of the house <01004> of God <0430>, trembling

<07460> (8688) because of this matter <01697>, and for the great

rain <01653>.

Ezr 10:10 And Ezra <05830> the priest <03548> stood up <06965>

(8799), and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye have transgressed

<04603> (8804), and have taken <03427> (8686) strange <05237>

wives <0802>, to increase <03254> (8687) the trespass <0819> of

Israel <03478>.

Ezr 10:11 Now therefore make <05414> (8798) confession <08426>

unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>, and do

<06213> (8798) his pleasure <07522>: and separate <0914> (8734)

yourselves from the people <05971> of the land <0776>, and from

the strange <05237> wives <0802>.

Ezr 10:12 Then all the congregation <06951> answered <06030>

(8799) and said <0559> (8799) with a loud <01419> voice <06963>,

As thou hast said <01697>, so must we do <06213> (8800).

Ezr 10:13 But <061> the people <05971> are many <07227>, and it

is a time <06256> of much rain <01653>, and we are not able

<03581> to stand <05975> (8800) without <02351>, neither is this

a work <04399> of one <0259> day <03117> or two <08147>: for we

are many <07235> (8689) that have transgressed <06586> (8800) in

this thing <01697>.

Ezr 10:14 Let now our rulers <08269> of all the congregation

<06951> stand <05975> (8799), and let all them which have taken

<03427> (8689) strange <05237> wives <0802> in our cities

<05892> come <0935> (8799) at appointed <02163> (8794) times

<06256>, and with them the elders <02205> of every city <05892>,

and the judges <08199> (8802) thereof, until the fierce <02740>

wrath <0639> of our God <0430> for this matter <01697> be turned

<07725> (8687) from us.

Ezr 10:15 ¶ Only Jonathan <03129> the son <01121> of Asahel

<06214> and Jahaziah <03167> the son <01121> of Tikvah <08616>

were employed <05975> (8804) about this matter: and Meshullam

<04918> and Shabbethai <07678> the Levite <03881> helped <05826>

(8804) them.

Ezr 10:16 And the children <01121> of the captivity <01473> did

so <06213> (8799). And Ezra <05830> the priest <03548>, with

certain <0582> chief <07218> of the fathers <01>, after the

house <01004> of their fathers <01>, and all of them by their

names <08034>, were separated <0914> (8735), and sat down

<03427> (8799) in the first <0259> day <03117> of the tenth

<06224> month <02320> to examine <01875> (8800) the matter

<01697>.

Ezr 10:17 And they made an end <03615> (8762) with all the men

<0582> that had taken <03427> (8689) strange <05237> wives

<0802> by the first <0259> day <03117> of the first <07223>

month <02320>.

Ezr 10:18 And among the sons <01121> of the priests <03548>

there were found <04672> (8735) that had taken <03427> (8689)

strange <05237> wives <0802>: namely, of the sons <01121> of

Jeshua <03442> the son <01121> of Jozadak <03136>, and his

brethren <0251>; Maaseiah <04641>, and Eliezer <0461>, and Jarib

<03402>, and Gedaliah <01436>.

Ezr 10:19 And they gave <05414> (8799) their hands <03027> that

they would put away <03318> (8687) their wives <0802>; and being

guilty <0818>, they offered a ram <0352> of the flock <06629>

for their trespass <0819>.

Ezr 10:20 And of the sons <01121> of Immer <0564>; Hanani

<02607>, and Zebadiah <02069>.
