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,
The sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285,
The sonH1121 of AmariahH568, the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, the sonH1121 of MeraiothH4812,
The sonH1121 of ZerahiahH2228, the sonH1121 of UzziH5813, the sonH1121 of BukkiH1231,
The sonH1121 of AbishuaH50, the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the chiefH7218 priestH3548:
This EzraH5830 went upH5927 from BabylonH894; and he was a readyH4106 scribeH5608 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 had givenH5414: and the kingH4428 grantedH5414 him all his requestH1246, according to the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 upon him.
And there went upH5927 some of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778, and the NethinimsH5411, unto JerusalemH3389, in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428.
And he cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, which was in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 of the kingH4428.
For upon the firstH259 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 beganH3246 he to go upH4609 from BabylonH894, and on the firstH259 day of the fifthH2549 monthH2320 cameH935 he to JerusalemH3389, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of his GodH430 upon him. {began…: Heb. was the foundation of the going up}
For EzraH5830 had preparedH3559 his heartH3824 to seekH1875 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and to doH6213 it, and to teachH3925 in IsraelH3478 statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941.
Now this is the copyH6572 of the letterH5406 that the kingH4428 ArtaxerxesH783 gaveH5414 unto EzraH5830 the priestH3548, the scribeH5608, even a scribeH5608 of the wordsH1697 of the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and of his statutesH2706 to IsraelH3478.
ArtaxerxesH783, kingH4430 of kingsH4430, unto EzraH5831 the priestH3549, a scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, perfectH1585 peace, and at such a timeH3706. {unto…: or, to Ezra the priest, a perfect scribe of the law of the God of heaven, peace, etc}
IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, that allH3606 they ofH4481 the peopleH5972 of IsraelH3479, and of his priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, in my realmH4437, which are minded of their own freewillH5069 to go upH1946 to JerusalemH3390, goH1946 with theeH5974.
ForasmuchH1768+H6903 asH3606 thou art sentH7972 ofH4481+H6925 the kingH4430, and of his sevenH7655 counsellorsH3272, to enquireH1240 concerningH5922 JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390, according to the lawH1882 of thy GodH426 which is in thine handH3028; {of the king: Chaldee, from before the king}
And to carryH2987 the silverH3702 and goldH1722, which the kingH4430 and his counsellorsH3272 have freely offeredH5069 unto the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, whoseH1768 habitationH4907 is in JerusalemH3390,
And allH3606 the silverH3702 and goldH1722 that thou canst findH7912 in allH3606 the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, withH5974 the freewill offeringH5069 of the peopleH5972, and of the priestsH3549, offering willinglyH5069 for the houseH1005 of their GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390:
ThatH3606+H6903 thou mayest buyH7066 speedilyH629 with thisH1836 moneyH3702 bullocksH8450, ramsH1798, lambsH563, with their meat offeringsH4504 and their drink offeringsH5261, and offerH7127 themH1994 uponH5922 the altarH4056 of the houseH1005 of your GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoeverH4101+H1768 shall seem goodH3191 to thee, and toH5922 thy brethrenH252, to doH5648 with the restH7606 of the silverH3702 and the goldH1722, that doH5648 after the willH7470 of your GodH426.
The vesselsH3984 also that are givenH3052 thee for the serviceH6402 of the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, those deliverH8000 thou beforeH6925 the GodH426 of JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoever moreH7606 shall be needfulH2819 for the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, which thou shalt have occasionH5308 to bestowH5415, bestowH5415 it out ofH4481 the king'sH4430 treasureH1596 houseH1005.
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,
UntoH5705 an hundredH3969 talentsH3604 of silverH3702, and to an hundredH3969 measuresH3734 of wheatH2591, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of wineH2562, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of oilH4887, and saltH4416 withoutH3809 prescribingH3792 how much. {measures: Chaldee, cors}
WhatsoeverH3606 is commanded byH2941+H4481 the GodH426 of heavenH8065, let it be diligentlyH149 doneH5648 for the houseH1005 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065: forH1768 whyH4101 should there beH1934 wrathH7109 againstH5922 the realmH4437 of the kingH4430 and his sonsH1123? {Whatsoever…: Chaldee, Whatsoever is of the decree}
Also we certifyH3046 you, that touching anyH3606 of the priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, singersH2171, portersH8652, NethinimsH5412, or ministersH6399 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426, it shall notH3809 be lawfulH7990 to imposeH7412 tollH4061, tributeH1093, or customH1983, uponH5922 them.
And thouH607, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy GodH426, that is in thine handH3028, setH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782, which may judgeH1934+H1778 allH3606 the peopleH5972 that are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, allH3606 such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy GodH426; and teachH3046 ye them that knowH3046 them notH3809.
And whosoeverH3606 will notH3809 doH1934+H5648 the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 speedilyH629 upon himH4481, whetherH2006 it be unto deathH4193, orH2006 to banishmentH8332, orH2006 to confiscationH6065 of goodsH5232, or to imprisonmentH613. {to banishment: Chaldee, to rooting out}
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, which hath putH5414 such a thing as this in the king'sH4428 heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389:
And hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto me beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289, and before all the king'sH4428 mightyH1368 princesH8269. And I was strengthenedH2388 as the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430 was upon me, and I gathered togetherH6908 out of IsraelH3478 chief menH7218 to go upH5927 with me.

And EleazarH499 Aaron'sH175 sonH1121 tookH3947 him one of the daughtersH1323 of PutielH6317 to wifeH802; and she bareH3205 him PhinehasH6372: these are the headsH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881 according to their familiesH4940.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, and unto EleazarH499 and unto IthamarH385, his sonsH1121, UncoverH6544 not your headsH7218, neither rendH6533 your clothesH899; lest ye dieH4191, and lest wrathH7107 come upon all the peopleH5712: but let your brethrenH251, the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, bewailH1058 the burningH8316 which the LORDH3068 hath kindledH8313.
And, behold, AmariahH568 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 is over you in all mattersH1697 of the LORDH3068; and ZebadiahH2069 the sonH1121 of IshmaelH3458, the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, for all the king'sH4428 mattersH1697: also the LevitesH3881 shall be officersH7860 beforeH6440 you. DealH6213 courageouslyH2388, and the LORDH3068 shall be with the goodH2896. {Deal…: Heb. Take courage and do}
And when PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, sawH7200 it, he rose upH6965 from amongH8432 the congregationH5712, and tookH3947 a javelinH7420 in his handH3027;
And he wentH935 afterH310 the manH376 of IsraelH3478 into the tentH6898, and thrustH1856 bothH8147 of them through, the manH376 of IsraelH3478, and the womanH802 throughH413 her bellyH6897. So the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And those that diedH4191 in the plagueH4046 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, hath turnedH7725 my wrathH2534 awayH7725 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, while he was zealousH7065 for my sakeH7068 amongH8432 them, that I consumedH3615 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in my jealousyH7068. {for…: Heb. with my zeal}
Wherefore sayH559, Behold, I giveH5414 unto him my covenantH1285 of peaceH7965:
And he shall have it, and his seedH2233 afterH310 him, even the covenantH1285 of an everlastingH5769 priesthoodH3550; becauseH834 he was zealousH7065 for his GodH430, and made an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And MosesH4872 spakeH1696 unto AaronH175, and unto EleazarH499 and unto IthamarH385, his sonsH1121 that were leftH3498, TakeH3947 the meat offeringH4503 that remainethH3498 of the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801, and eatH398 it without leavenH4682 besideH681 the altarH4196: for it is mostH6944 holyH6944:
And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and all the priestsH3548, lookedH6437 upon him, and, behold, he was leprousH6879 in his foreheadH4696, and they thrust him outH926 from thence; yea, himself hastedH1765 also to go outH3318, because the LORDH3068 had smittenH5060 him.
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 them to the warH6635, a thousandH505 of every tribeH4294, them and PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, to the warH6635, with the holyH6944 instrumentsH3627, and the trumpetsH2689 to blowH8643 in his handH3027.
And MosesH4872 diligentlyH1875 soughtH1875 the goatH8163 of the sin offeringH2403, and, behold, it was burntH8313: and he was angryH7107 with EleazarH499 and IthamarH385, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 which were leftH3498 alive, sayingH559,
AndG2532 noG3756 manG5100 takethG2983 this honourG5092 unto himselfG1438, butG235 he that is calledG2564 ofG5259 GodG2316, asG2509+G2532 was AaronG2.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 shall be chiefH5387 over the chiefH5387 of the LevitesH3881, and have the oversightH6486 of them that keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the sanctuaryH6944.
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
TakeH3947 AaronH175 and EleazarH499 his sonH1121, and bring them upH5927 unto mountH2022 HorH2023:
And stripH6584 AaronH175 of his garmentsH899, and putH3847 them upon EleazarH499 his sonH1121: and AaronH175 shall be gatheredH622 unto his people, and shall dieH4191 there.
And MosesH4872 didH6213 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680: and they went upH5927 into mountH2022 HorH2023 in the sightH5869 of all the congregationH5712.
And MosesH4872 strippedH6584 AaronH175 of his garmentsH899, and putH3847 them upon EleazarH499 his sonH1121; and AaronH175 diedH4191 there in the topH7218 of the mountH2022: and MosesH4872 and EleazarH499 came downH3381 from the mountH2022.
And PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175, stoodH5975 beforeH6440 it in those daysH3117,) sayingH559, Shall I yet againH3254 go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251, or shall I ceaseH2308? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927; for to morrowH4279 I will deliverH5414 them into thine handH3027.
And they stoodH5975 beforeH6440 MosesH4872, and beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and beforeH6440 the princesH5387 and all the congregationH5712, by the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, sayingH559,
And these are the sonsH1121 of AaronH175; EleazarH499 his sonH1121, PhinehasH6372 his sonH1121, AbishuaH50 his sonH1121,
BukkiH1231 his sonH1121, UzziH5813 his sonH1121, ZerahiahH2228 his sonH1121,
MeraiothH4812 his sonH1121, AmariahH568 his sonH1121, AhitubH285 his sonH1121,
And MosesH4872 and EleazarH499 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the goldH2091 of the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, and broughtH935 it into the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, for a memorialH2146 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
Then stood upH5975 PhinehasH6372, and executed judgmentH6419: and so the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.
And these are the countries which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 inheritedH5157 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and the headsH7218 of the fathersH1 of the tribesH4294 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, distributed for inheritanceH5157 to them.
And that was countedH2803 unto him for righteousnessH6666 unto allH1755 generationsH1755 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
And EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 diedH4191; and they buriedH6912 him in a hillH1389 that pertained to PhinehasH6372 his sonH1121, which was givenH5414 him in mountH2022 EphraimH669.
Now these are the divisionsH4256 of the sonsH1121 of AaronH175. The sonsH1121 of AaronH175; NadabH5070, and AbihuH30, EleazarH499, and IthamarH385.
But NadabH5070 and AbihuH30 diedH4191 beforeH6440 their fatherH1, and had no childrenH1121: therefore EleazarH499 and IthamarH385 executed the priest's officeH3547.
And DavidH1732 distributedH2505 them, both ZadokH6659 of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499, and AhimelechH288 of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385, according to their officesH6486 in their serviceH5656.
And there were moreH7227 chiefH7218 menH1397 foundH4672 of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499 than of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385; and thus were they dividedH2505. Among the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499 there were sixteenH8337+H6240 chief menH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and eightH8083 among the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385 according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1.
Thus were they dividedH2505 by lotH1486, one sortH428 with anotherH428; for the governorsH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, and governorsH8269 of the house of GodH430, were of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499, and of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385.
And ShemaiahH8098 the sonH1121 of NethaneelH5417 the scribeH5608, one of the LevitesH3881, wroteH3789 them beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and the princesH8269, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54, and before the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881: oneH259 principalH1 householdH1004 being takenH270 for EleazarH499, and one takenH270 for IthamarH385. {principal…: Heb. house of the father}
