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 thisH1836 houseH1005 was finishedH3319 onH5705 the thirdH8532 dayH3118 of the monthH3393 AdarH144, which wasH1932 in the sixthH8353 yearH8140 of the reignH4437 of DariusH1868 the kingH4430.
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.

Now in the secondH8145 yearH8141 of their comingH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 at JerusalemH3389, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, beganH2490 ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and the remnantH7605 of their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all they that were come outH935 of the captivityH7628 unto JerusalemH3389; and appointedH5975 the LevitesH3881, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, to set forwardH5329 the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
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.
The handsH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216 have laid the foundationH3245 of this houseH1004; his handsH3027 shall also finishH1214 it; and thou shalt knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 me unto you.
That saithH559 of CyrusH3566, He is my shepherdH7462, and shall performH7999 all my pleasureH2656: even sayingH559 to JerusalemH3389, Thou shalt be builtH1129; and to the templeH1964, Thy foundation shall be laidH3245.
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.
Now afterH310 these thingsH1697, in the reignH4438 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, EzraH5830 the sonH1121 of SeraiahH8304, the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518,
But ZerubbabelH2216, and JeshuaH3442, and the restH7605 of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, saidH559 unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto our GodH430; but we ourselves togetherH3162 will buildH1129 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, as kingH4428 CyrusH3566 the kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 hath commandedH6680 us.
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.
Go upH5927 to the mountainH2022, and bringH935 woodH6086, and buildH1129 the houseH1004; and I will take pleasureH7521 in it, and I will be glorifiedH3513, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Now in the firstH259 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 might be fulfilledH3615, the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that he made a proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout all his kingdomH4438, and put it also in writingH4385, sayingH559, {made…: Heb. caused a voice to pass}
Thus saithH559 CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064 hath givenH5414 me all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; and he hath chargedH6485 me to buildH1129 him an houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063.
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.
And whosoever remainethH7604 in any placeH4725 where he sojournethH1481, let the menH582 of his placeH4725 helpH5375 him with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with goodsH7399, and with beastsH929, beside the freewill offeringH5071 for the houseH1004 of GodH430 that is in JerusalemH3389. {help…: Heb. lift him up}
Then ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, with all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971, obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, as the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him, and the peopleH5971 did fearH3372 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
Then spakeH559 HaggaiH2292 the LORD'SH3068 messengerH4397 in the LORD'SH3068 messageH4400 unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and the spiritH7307 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and the spiritH7307 of all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971; and they cameH935 and didH6213 workH4399 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, their GodH430,
ThenH116 ceasedH989 the workH5673 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which is at JerusalemH3390. So it ceasedH1934+H989 untoH5705 the secondH8648 yearH8140 of the reignH4437 of DariusH1868 kingH4430 of PersiaH6540.
SpeakH559 now to ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and to the residueH7611 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Who is leftH7604 among you that sawH7200 this houseH1004 in her firstH7223 gloryH3519? and how do ye seeH7200 it now? is it not in your eyesH5869 in comparisonH3644 of it as nothing?
Yet now be strongH2388, O ZerubbabelH2216, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and be strongH2388, O JoshuaH3091, sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548; and be strongH2388, all ye peopleH5971 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and workH6213: for I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
According to the wordH1697 that I covenantedH3772 with you when ye cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714, so my spiritH7307 remainethH5975 amongH8432 you: fearH3372 ye not.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Yet onceH259, it is a little whileH4592, and I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776, and the seaH3220, and the dryH2724 land;
And I will shakeH7493 all nationsH1471, and the desireH2532 of all nationsH1471 shall comeH935: and I will fillH4390 this houseH1004 with gloryH3519, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The silverH3701 is mine, and the goldH2091 is mine, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The gloryH3519 of this latterH314 houseH1004 shall be greater thanH1419 of the formerH7223, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and in this placeH4725 will I giveH5414 peaceH7965, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AskH7592 now the priestsH3548 concerning the lawH8451, sayingH559,
If oneH376 bearH5375 holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garmentH899, and with his skirtH3671 do touchH5060 breadH3899, or pottageH5138, or wineH3196, or oilH8081, or any meatH3978, shall it be holyH6942? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, No.
Then saidH559 HaggaiH2292, If one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060 any of these, shall it be uncleanH2930? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It shall be uncleanH2930.
Then answeredH6030 HaggaiH2292, and saidH559, So is this peopleH5971, and so is this nationH1471 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and so is every workH4639 of their handsH3027; and that which they offerH7126 there is uncleanH2931.
And now, I pray you, considerH7760+H3824 from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from beforeH2962 a stoneH68 was laidH7760 upon a stoneH68 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068:
ButH1297 in the firstH2298 yearH8140 of CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895 the same kingH4430 CyrusH3567 madeH7761 a decreeH2942 to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426.
I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869 again, and lookedH7200, and behold a manH376 with a measuringH4060 lineH2256 in his handH3027.
Then saidH559 I, Whither goestH1980 thou? And he saidH559 unto me, To measureH4058 JerusalemH3389, to seeH7200 whatH4100 is the breadthH7341 thereof, and what is the lengthH753 thereof.
And, behold, the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me went forthH3318, and anotherH312 angelH4397 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him,
And saidH559 unto him, RunH7323, speakH1696 to thisH1975 young manH5288, sayingH559, JerusalemH3389 shall be inhabitedH3427 as towns without wallsH6519 for the multitudeH7230 of menH120 and cattleH929 thereinH8432:
And I turnedH7725, and lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, there cameH3318 fourH702 chariotsH4818 outH3318 from between twoH8147 mountainsH2022; and the mountainsH2022 were mountainsH2022 of brassH5178.
In the firstH7223 chariotH4818 were redH122 horsesH5483; and in the secondH8145 chariotH4818 blackH7838 horsesH5483;
And in the thirdH7992 chariotH4818 whiteH3836 horsesH5483; and in the fourthH7243 chariotH4818 grisledH1261 and bayH554 horsesH5483. {bay: or, strong}
Then I answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me, What are these, my lordH113?
And the angelH4397 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto me, These are the fourH702 spiritsH7307 of the heavensH8064, which go forthH3318 from standingH3320 before the LordH113 of all the earthH776. {spirits: or, winds}
The blackH7838 horsesH5483 which are therein go forthH3318 into the northH6828 countryH776; and the whiteH3836 go forthH3318 afterH310 them; and the grisledH1261 go forthH3318 toward the southH8486 countryH776.
And the bayH554 went forthH3318, and soughtH1245 to goH3212 that they might walk to and froH1980 through the earthH776: and he saidH559, Get you henceH3212, walk to and froH1980 through the earthH776. So they walked to and froH1980 through the earthH776.
Then criedH2199 he uponH853 me, and spakeH1696 unto me, sayingH559, BeholdH7200, these that goH3318 toward the northH6828 countryH776 have quietedH5117 my spiritH7307 in the northH6828 countryH776.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 of them of the captivityH1473, even of HeldaiH2469, of TobijahH2900, and of JedaiahH3048, which are comeH935 from BabylonH894, and comeH935 thou the same dayH3117, and goH935 into the houseH1004 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of ZephaniahH6846;
Then takeH3947 silverH3701 and goldH2091, and makeH6213 crownsH5850, and setH7760 them upon the headH7218 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548;
And speakH559 unto him, sayingH559, Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, Behold the manH376 whose nameH8034 is The BRANCHH6780; and he shall grow upH6779 out of his place, and he shall buildH1129 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068: {grow…: or, branch up from under him}
Even he shall buildH1129 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068; and he shall bearH5375 the gloryH1935, and shall sitH3427 and ruleH4910 upon his throneH3678; and he shall be a priestH3548 upon his throneH3678: and the counselH6098 of peaceH7965 shall be between them bothH8147.
And the crownsH5850 shall be to HelemH2494, and to TobijahH2900, and to JedaiahH3048, and to HenH2581 the sonH1121 of ZephaniahH6846, for a memorialH2146 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068.
And they that are far offH7350 shall comeH935 and buildH1129 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, and ye shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligentlyH8085 obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
