Then the prophetsH5029, HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5029, and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1247 of IddoH5714, prophesiedH5013 untoH5922 the JewsH3062 that were in JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390 in the nameH8036 of the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, even untoH5922 them.
ThenH116 rose upH6966 ZerubbabelH2217 the sonH1247 of ShealtielH7598, and JeshuaH3443 the sonH1247 of JozadakH3136, and beganH8271 to buildH1124 the houseH1005 of GodH426 which is at JerusalemH3390: and with themH5974 were the prophetsH5029 of GodH426 helpingH5583 them.
At the same timeH2166 cameH858 to them TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, and ShetharboznaiH8370, and their companionsH3675, and saidH560 thusH3652 unto themH5922, WhoH4479 hath commandedH7761+H2942 you to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005, and to make upH3635 thisH1836 wallH846?
ThenH116 saidH560 we unto them after this mannerH3660, WhatH4479 areH581 the namesH8036 of the menH1400 that makeH1124 thisH1836 buildingH1147? {make: Chaldee, build}
But the eyeH5870 of their GodH426 wasH1934 uponH5922 the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062, that they could notH3809 causeH989 themH1994 to ceaseH989, tillH5705 the matterH2941 cameH1946 to DariusH1868: and thenH116 they returned answerH8421 by letterH5407 concerningH5922 thisH1836 matter.
The copyH6573 of the letterH104 that TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, and ShetharboznaiH8370, and his companionsH3675 the ApharsachitesH671, which were on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, sentH7972 untoH5922 DariusH1868 the kingH4430:
They sentH7972 a letterH6600 untoH5922 him, whereinH1459 was writtenH3790 thusH1836; Unto DariusH1868 the kingH4430, allH3606 peaceH8001. {wherein: Chaldee, in the midst whereof}
Be it knownH1934+H3046 unto the kingH4430, that we wentH236 into the provinceH4083 of JudeaH3061, to the houseH1005 of the greatH7229 GodH426, which is buildedH1124 with greatH1560 stonesH69, and timberH636 is laidH7761 in the wallsH3797, and thisH1791 workH5673 goethH5648 fastH629 on, and prosperethH6744 in their handsH3028. {great…: Chaldee, stones of rolling}
ThenH116 askedH7593 we thoseH479 eldersH7868, and saidH560 unto them thusH3660, WhoH4479 commandedH7761+H2942 you to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005, and to make upH3635 theseH1836 wallsH846?
We askedH7593 their namesH8036 alsoH638, to certifyH3046 thee, that we might writeH3790 the namesH8036 of the menH1400 that were the chiefH7217 of them.
And thusH3660 they returnedH8421 us answerH6600, sayingH560, WeH586 areH1994 the servantsH5649 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 and earthH772, and buildH1124 the houseH1005 that wasH1934 buildedH1124 theseH1836 manyH7690 yearsH8140 agoH6928, which a greatH7229 kingH4430 of IsraelH3479 buildedH1124 and set upH3635.
ButH3861 afterH4481 that our fathersH2 had provokedH7265 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 unto wrathH7265, he gaveH3052 themH1994 into the handH3028 of NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895, the ChaldeanH3679, who destroyedH5642 thisH1836 houseH1005, and carriedH1541 the peopleH5972 awayH1541 into BabylonH895.
ButH1297 in the firstH2298 yearH8140 of CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895 the same kingH4430 CyrusH3567 madeH7761 a decreeH2942 to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426.
And the vesselsH3984 alsoH638 ofH1768 goldH1722 and silverH3702 of the houseH1005 of GodH426, which NebuchadnezzarH5020 tookH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 that was in JerusalemH3390, and broughtH2987 them into the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, thoseH1994 did CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 takeH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, and they were deliveredH3052 unto one, whose nameH8036 was SheshbazzarH8340, whom he had madeH7761 governorH6347; {governor: or, deputy}
And saidH560 unto him, TakeH5376 theseH412 vesselsH3984, goH236, carryH5182 themH1994 into the templeH1965 that is in JerusalemH3390, and let the houseH1005 of GodH426 be buildedH1124 inH5922 his placeH870.
ThenH116 cameH858 the sameH1791 SheshbazzarH8340, and laidH3052 the foundationH787 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390: and sinceH4481 that timeH116 even untilH5705 nowH3705 hath it been in buildingH1124, and yet it is notH3809 finishedH8000.
NowH3705 therefore, ifH2006 it seem goodH2869 toH5922 the kingH4430, let there be searchH1240 made in the king'sH4430 treasureH1596 houseH1005, which is thereH8536 at BabylonH895, whetherH2006 it beH383 so, that a decreeH2942 was madeH7761 ofH4481 CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 to buildH1124 thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 at JerusalemH3390, and let the kingH4430 sendH7972 his pleasureH7470 to us concerningH5922 this matterH1836.

NowH3705 therefore, TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, ShetharboznaiH8370, and your companionsH3675 the ApharsachitesH671, which are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, be yeH1934 farH7352 fromH4481 thenceH8536: {your…: Chaldee, their societies}
Who is there among you of all his peopleH5971? his GodH430 be with him, and let him go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063, and buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, (he is the GodH430,) which is in JerusalemH3389.
ThenH116 TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, ShetharboznaiH8370, and their companionsH3675, accordingH6903 to that which DariusH1868 the kingH4430 had sentH7972, soH3660 they didH5648 speedilyH629.
AndG2532 when heG846 was comeG2064 intoG1519 the templeG2411, the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992 cameG4334 unto himG846 as he was teachingG1321, and saidG3004, ByG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 doest thouG4160 these thingsG5023? andG2532 whoG5101 gaveG1325 theeG4671 thisG5026 authorityG1849?
And IH4481, even IH576 ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4430, do makeH7761 a decreeH2942 to allH3606 the treasurersH1490 which are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, that whatsoever EzraH5831 the priestH3549, the scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, shall requireH7593 of you, it be doneH5648 speedilyH629,
AndG2532 when they had setG2476 themG846 inG1722 the midstG3319, they askedG4441, ByG1722 whatG4169 powerG1411, orG2228 byG1722 whatG4169 nameG3686, haveG4160 yeG5210 doneG4160 thisG5124?
Moreover I saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, let lettersH107 be givenH5414 me to the governorsH6346 beyondH5676 the riverH5104, that they may convey me overH5674 till I comeH935 into JudahH3063;
And a letterH107 unto AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king'sH4428 forestH6508, that he may giveH5414 me timberH6086 to make beamsH7136 for the gatesH8179 of the palaceH1002 which appertained to the houseH1004, and for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892, and for the houseH1004 that I shall enter intoH935. And the kingH4428 grantedH5414 me, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 upon me.
Then I cameH935 to the governorsH6346 beyondH5676 the riverH5104, and gaveH5414 them the king'sH4428 lettersH107. Now the kingH4428 had sentH7971 captainsH8269 of the armyH2428 and horsemenH6571 with me.
