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) them unto Sheshbazzar <08339>, the prince < 05387> of
Judah <03063>.

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

<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>.
