ThenH116 DariusH1868 the kingH4430 madeH7761 a decreeH2942, and searchH1240 was made in the houseH1005 of the rollsH5609, whereH8536 the treasuresH1596 were laid upH5182 in BabylonH895. {rolls: Chaldee, books} {laid up: Chaldee, made to descend}
And there was foundH7912 at AchmethaH307, in the palaceH1001 that is in the provinceH4083 of the MedesH4076, aH2298 rollH4040, and thereinH1459 was a recordH1799 thusH3652 writtenH3790: {Achmetha: or, Ecbatana, or, in a coffer}
In the firstH2298 yearH8140 of CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 the same CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 madeH7761 a decreeH2942 concerning the houseH1005 of GodH426 at JerusalemH3390, Let the houseH1005 be buildedH1124, the placeH870 where they offeredH1684 sacrificesH1685, and let the foundationsH787 thereof be strongly laidH5446; the heightH7314 thereof threescoreH8361 cubitsH521, and the breadthH6613 thereof threescoreH8361 cubitsH521;
With threeH8532 rowsH5073 of greatH1560 stonesH69, and a rowH5073 of newH2323 timberH636: and let the expensesH5313 be givenH3052 out ofH4481 the king'sH4430 houseH1005:
And alsoH638 let the goldenH1722 and silverH3702 vesselsH3984 of the houseH1005 of GodH426, which NebuchadnezzarH5020 took forthH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 which is at JerusalemH3390, and broughtH2987 unto BabylonH895, be restoredH8421, and brought againH1946 unto the templeH1965 which is at JerusalemH3390, every one to his placeH870, and placeH5182 them in the houseH1005 of GodH426. {brought again: Chaldee, go}
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}
Let the workH5673 of thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 aloneH7662; let the governorH6347 of the JewsH3062 and the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062 buildH1124 thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 inH5922 his placeH870.
Moreover IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942 whatH3964 ye shall doH5648 toH5974 the eldersH7868 of theseH479 JewsH3062 for the buildingH1124 of thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426: that of the king'sH4430 goodsH5232, even ofH1768 the tributeH4061 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, forthwithH629 expensesH5313 beH1934 givenH3052 unto theseH479 menH1400, that they be notH3809 hinderedH989. {I make…: Chaldee, by me a decree is made} {hindered: Chaldee, made to cease}
And that whichH4101 they have need ofH2818, both youngH1123 bullocksH8450, and ramsH1798, and lambsH563, for the burnt offeringsH5928 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, wheatH2591, saltH4416, wineH2562, and oilH4887, according to the appointmentH3983 of the priestsH3549 which are at JerusalemH3390, let it beH1934 givenH3052 them dayH3118 by dayH3118 withoutH3809 failH7960:
That they may offerH1934+H7127 sacrifices of sweet savoursH5208 unto the GodH426 of heavenH8065, and prayH6739 for the lifeH2417 of the kingH4430, and of his sonsH1123. {of sweet…: Chaldee, of rest}
AlsoH4481 I have madeH7761 a decreeH2942, that whosoeverH3606+H606 shall alterH8133 thisH1836 wordH6600, let timberH636 be pulled downH5256 fromH4481 his houseH1005, and being set upH2211, let him be hangedH4223 thereonH5922; and let his houseH1005 be madeH5648 a dunghillH5122 forH5922 thisH1836. {let him…: Chaldee, let him be destroyed}
And the GodH426 that hath caused his nameH8036 to dwellH7932 thereH8536 destroyH4049 allH3606 kingsH4430 and peopleH5972, that shall putH7972 to their handH3028 to alterH8133 and to destroyH2255 thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 which is at JerusalemH3390. IH576 DariusH1868 have madeH7761 a decreeH2942; let it be doneH5648 with speedH629.
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.
And the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062 buildedH1124, and they prosperedH6744 through the prophesyingH5017 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5029 and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1247 of IddoH5714. And they buildedH1124, and finishedH3635 it, accordingH4481 to the commandmentH2941 of the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, and according to the commandmentH2942 of CyrusH3567, and DariusH1868, and ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4430 of PersiaH6540. {commandment: Chaldee, decree}

And the childrenH1123 of IsraelH3479, the priestsH3549, and the LevitesH3879, and the restH7606 of the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547, keptH5648 the dedicationH2597 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426 with joyH2305, {the children of the captivity: Chaldee, the sons of the transportation}
And offeredH7127 at the dedicationH2597 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426 an hundredH3969 bullocksH8450, two hundredH3969 ramsH1798, fourH703 hundredH3969 lambsH563; and for a sin offeringH2402+H2409 forH5922 allH3606 IsraelH3479, twelveH8648+H6236 heH6841 goatsH5796, according to the numberH4510 of the tribesH7625 of IsraelH3479.
And they setH6966 the priestsH3549 in their divisionsH6392, and the LevitesH3879 in their coursesH4255, forH5922 the serviceH5673 of GodH426, which is at JerusalemH3390; as it is writtenH3792 in the bookH5609 of MosesH4873. {as it is…: Chaldee, according to the writing}
And the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 keptH6213 the passoverH6453 upon the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
For the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 were purifiedH2891 togetherH259, all of them were pureH2889, and killedH7819 the passoverH6453 for all the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473, and for their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548, and for themselves.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which were come againH7725 out of captivityH1473, and all such as had separatedH914 themselves unto them from the filthinessH2932 of the heathenH1471 of the landH776, to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, did eatH398,
And keptH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with joyH8057: for the LORDH3068 had made them joyfulH8055, and turnedH5437 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto them, to strengthenH2388 their handsH3027 in the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
