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.

And ye shall keepH4931 it up until the fourteenthH702+H6240 dayH3117 of the same monthH2320: and the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 shall killH7819 it inH996 the eveningH6153. {in…: Heb. between the two evenings}
And they shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818, and strikeH5414 it on the twoH8147 side postsH4201 and on the upper door postH4947 of the housesH1004, wherein they shall eatH398 it.
And they shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 in that nightH3915, roastH6748 with fireH784, and unleavened breadH4682; and with bitterH4844 herbs they shall eatH398 it.
EatH398 not of it rawH4995, nor soddenH1310+H1311 at all with waterH4325, but roastH6748 with fireH784; his headH7218 with his legsH3767, and with the purtenanceH7130 thereof.
And ye shall let nothing of it remainH3498 until the morningH1242; and that which remainethH3498 of it until the morningH1242 ye shall burnH8313 with fireH784.
And thusH3602 shall ye eatH398 it; with your loinsH4975 girdedH2296, your shoesH5275 on your feetH7272, and your staffH4731 in your handH3027; and ye shall eatH398 it in hasteH2649: it is the LORD'SH3068 passoverH6453.
For I will passH5674 through the landH776 of EgyptH4714 this nightH3915, and will smiteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both manH120 and beastH929; and against all the godsH430 of EgyptH4714 I will executeH6213 judgmentH8201: I am the LORDH3068. {gods: or, princes}
And the bloodH1818 shall be to you for a tokenH226 upon the housesH1004 where ye are: and when I seeH7200 the bloodH1818, I will passH6452 over you, and the plagueH5063 shall not be upon you to destroyH4889 you, when I smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {to destroy…: Heb. for a destruction}
And this dayH3117 shall be unto you for a memorialH2146; and ye shall keepH2287 it a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068 throughout your generationsH1755; ye shall keep it a feastH2287 by an ordinanceH2708 for everH5769.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 shall ye eatH398 unleavened breadH4682; evenH389 the firstH7223 dayH3117 ye shall put awayH7673 leavenH7603 out of your housesH1004: for whosoever eatethH398 leavened breadH2557 from the firstH7223 dayH3117 until the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that soulH5315 shall be cutH3772 off from IsraelH3478.
And in the firstH7223 dayH3117 there shall be an holyH6944 convocationH4744, and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 there shall be an holyH6944 convocationH4744 to you; no manner of workH4399 shall be doneH6213 in them, saveH389 that which every manH5315 must eatH398, that only may be doneH6213 of you. {man: Heb. soul}
And ye shall observeH8104 the feast of unleavened breadH4682; for in this selfsameH6106 dayH3117 have I broughtH3318 your armiesH6635 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: therefore shall ye observeH8104 this dayH3117 in your generationsH1755 by an ordinanceH2708 for everH5769.
In the firstH7223 month, on the fourteenthH6240+H702 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at evenH6153, ye shall eatH398 unleavened breadH4682, until the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at evenH6153.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 shall there be no leavenH7603 foundH4672 in your housesH1004: for whosoever eatethH398 that which is leavenedH2556, even that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, whether he be a strangerH1616, or bornH249 in the landH776.
Ye shall eatH398 nothing leavenedH2556; in all your habitationsH4186 shall ye eatH398 unleavened breadH4682.
Then MosesH4872 calledH7121 for all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, Draw outH4900 and takeH3947 you a lambH6629 according to your familiesH4940, and killH7819 the passoverH6453. {lamb: or, kid}
And ye shall takeH3947 a bunchH92 of hyssopH231, and dipH2881 it in the bloodH1818 that is in the basonH5592, and strikeH5060 the lintelH4947 and the twoH8147 side postsH4201 with the bloodH1818 that is in the basonH5592; and noneH376 of you shall go outH3318 at the doorH6607 of his houseH1004 until the morningH1242.
For the LORDH3068 will pass throughH5674 to smiteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714; and when he seethH7200 the bloodH1818 upon the lintelH4947, and on the twoH8147 side postsH4201, the LORDH3068 will pass overH6452 the doorH6607, and will not sufferH5414 the destroyerH7843 to comeH935 in unto your housesH1004 to smiteH5062 you.
And ye shall observeH8104 this thingH1697 for an ordinanceH2706 to thee and to thy sonsH1121 forH5704 everH5769.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be comeH935 to the landH776 which the LORDH3068 will giveH5414 you, according as he hath promisedH1696, that ye shall keepH8104 this serviceH5656.
And it shall come to pass, when your childrenH1121 shall sayH559 unto you, What mean ye by this serviceH5656?
That ye shall sayH559, It is the sacrificeH2077 of the LORD'SH3068 passoverH6453, who passedH6452 over the housesH1004 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714, when he smoteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714, and deliveredH5337 our housesH1004. And the peopleH5971 bowed the headH6915 and worshippedH7812.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went awayH3212, and didH6213 as the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, so didH6213 they.
And it came to pass, that at midnightH2677+H3915 the LORDH3068 smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the firstbornH1060 of PharaohH6547 that satH3427 on his throneH3678 unto the firstbornH1060 of the captiveH7628 that was in the dungeonH1004+H953; and all the firstbornH1060 of cattleH929. {dungeon: Heb. house of the pit}
And PharaohH6547 rose upH6965 in the nightH3915, he, and all his servantsH5650, and all the EgyptiansH4714; and there was a greatH1419 cryH6818 in EgyptH4714; for there was not a houseH1004 where there was not one deadH4191.
And he calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 by nightH3915, and saidH559, Rise upH6965, and get you forthH3318 from amongH8432 my peopleH5971, both ye and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and goH3212, serveH5647 the LORDH3068, as ye have saidH1696.
Also takeH3947 your flocksH6629 and your herdsH1241, as ye have saidH1696, and be goneH3212; and blessH1288 me also.
And the EgyptiansH4714 were urgentH2388 upon the peopleH5971, that they might sendH7971 them out of the landH776 in hasteH4116; for they saidH559, We be all deadH4191 men.
And the peopleH5971 tookH5375 their doughH1217 before it was leavenedH2556, their kneadingtroughsH4863 being bound upH6887 in their clothesH8071 upon their shouldersH7926. {kneadingtroughs: or, dough}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872; and they borrowedH7592 of the EgyptiansH4714 jewelsH3627 of silverH3701, and jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, and raimentH8071:
And the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 the peopleH5971 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the EgyptiansH4714, so that they lentH7592 unto them such things as they required. And they spoiledH5337 the EgyptiansH4714.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 encampedH2583 in GilgalH1537, and keptH6213 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at evenH6153 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405.
And HezekiahH3169 sentH7971 to all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and wroteH3789 lettersH107 also to EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, that they should comeH935 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
For the kingH4428 had taken counselH3289, and his princesH8269, and all the congregationH6951 in JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 in the secondH8145 monthH2320.
For they couldH3201 not keepH6213 it at that timeH6256, because the priestsH3548 had not sanctifiedH6942 themselves sufficientlyH4078+H1767, neither had the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 to JerusalemH3389.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 the kingH4428 and all the congregationH6951. {pleased…: Heb. was right in the eyes of the king}
So they establishedH5975 a decreeH1697 to make proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout all IsraelH3478, from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835, that they should comeH935 to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389: for they had not doneH6213 it of a longH7230 time in such sort as it was writtenH3789.
So the postsH7323 wentH3212 with the lettersH107 fromH3027 the kingH4428 and his princesH8269 throughout all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, sayingH559, Ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, and he will returnH7725 to the remnantH7604 of you, that are escapedH6413 out of the handH3709 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804. {from: Heb. from the hand}
And be not ye like your fathersH1, and like your brethrenH251, which trespassedH4603 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, who therefore gave them upH5414 to desolationH8047, as ye seeH7200.
Now be ye not stiffneckedH7185+H6203, as your fathersH1 were, but yieldH5414 yourselvesH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and enterH935 into his sanctuaryH4720, which he hath sanctifiedH6942 for everH5769: and serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that the fiercenessH2740 of his wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from you. {be ye…: Heb. harden not your necks} {yield…: Heb. give the hand}
For if ye turn againH7725 unto the LORDH3068, your brethrenH251 and your childrenH1121 shall find compassionH7356 beforeH6440 them that lead them captiveH7617, so that they shall come againH7725 into this landH776: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, and will not turn awayH5493 his faceH6440 from you, if ye returnH7725 unto him.
So the postsH7323 passedH5674 from cityH5892 to cityH5892 through the countryH776 of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519 even unto ZebulunH2074: but they laughed them to scornH7832, and mockedH3932 them.
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And there assembledH622 at JerusalemH3389 muchH7227 peopleH5971 to keepH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 in the secondH8145 monthH2320, a veryH3966 greatH7230 congregationH6951.
And they aroseH6965 and took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 that were in JerusalemH3389, and all the altars for incenseH6999 took they awayH5493, and castH7993 them into the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
Then they killedH7819 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the secondH8145 monthH2320: and the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 were ashamedH3637, and sanctifiedH6942 themselves, and brought inH935 the burnt offeringsH5930 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And they stoodH5975 in their placeH5977 after their mannerH4941, according to the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430: the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818, which they received of the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881. {their place: Heb. their standing}
For there were manyH7227 in the congregationH6951 that were not sanctifiedH6942: therefore the LevitesH3881 had the charge of the killingH7821 of the passoversH6453 for every one that was not cleanH2889, to sanctifyH6942 them unto the LORDH3068.
For a multitudeH4768 of the peopleH5971, even manyH7227 of EphraimH669, and ManassehH4519, IssacharH3485, and ZebulunH2074, had notH3808 cleansedH2891 themselves, yet did they eatH398 the passoverH6453 otherwise than it was writtenH3789. But HezekiahH3169 prayedH6419 for them, sayingH559, The goodH2896 LORDH3068 pardonH3722 every one
That preparethH3559 his heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430, the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1, though he be not cleansed according to the purificationH2893 of the sanctuaryH6944.
And the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 to HezekiahH3169, and healedH7495 the peopleH5971.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 at JerusalemH3389 keptH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with greatH1419 gladnessH8057: and the LevitesH3881 and the priestsH3548 praisedH1984 the LORDH3068 dayH3117 by dayH3117, singing with loudH5797 instrumentsH3627 unto the LORDH3068. {present: Heb. found} {loud…: Heb. instruments of strength}
And HezekiahH3169 spakeH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto all the LevitesH3881 that taughtH7919 the goodH2896 knowledgeH7922 of the LORDH3068: and they did eatH398 throughout the feastH4150 sevenH7651 daysH3117, offeringH2076 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077, and making confessionH3034 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {comfortably…: Heb. to the heart of all}
And the whole assemblyH6951 took counselH3289 to keepH6213 otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117: and they keptH6213 other sevenH7651 daysH3117 with gladnessH8057.
For HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did giveH7311 to the congregationH6951 a thousandH505 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629; and the princesH8269 gaveH7311 to the congregationH6951 a thousandH505 bullocksH6499 and tenH6235 thousandH505 sheepH6629: and a great numberH7230 of priestsH3548 sanctifiedH6942 themselves. {did give: Heb. lifted up, or, offered} {gave: Heb. lifted up, or, offered}
And all the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063, with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all the congregationH6951 that came outH935 of IsraelH3478, and the strangersH1616 that came outH935 of the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and that dweltH3427 in JudahH3063, rejoicedH8055.
So there was greatH1419 joyH8057 in JerusalemH3389: for since the timeH3117 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 there was not the like in JerusalemH3389.
Then the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965 and blessedH1288 the peopleH5971: and their voiceH6963 was heardH8085, and their prayerH8605 cameH935 up to his holyH6944 dwelling placeH4583, even unto heavenH8064. {his holy…: Heb. the habitation of his holiness}
