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.

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.

Of JeduthunH3038: the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038; GedaliahH1436, and ZeriH6874, and JeshaiahH3470, HashabiahH2811, and MattithiahH4993, sixH8337, under the handsH3027 of their fatherH1 JeduthunH3038, who prophesiedH5012 with a harpH3658, to give thanksH3034 and to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068. {Zeri: or, Izri}
Of HemanH1968: the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968; BukkiahH1232, MattaniahH4983, UzzielH5816, ShebuelH7619, and JerimothH3406, HananiahH2608, HananiH2607, EliathahH448, GiddaltiH1437, and RomamtiezerH7320, JoshbekashahH3436, MallothiH4413, HothirH1956, and MahaziothH4238: {Uzziel: also called, Azareel, ver.18.} {Shebuel: also called, Shubael, ver.20.}
All these were the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968 the king'sH4428 seerH2374 in the wordsH1697 of GodH430, to lift upH7311 the hornH7161. And GodH430 gaveH5414 to HemanH1968 fourteenH702+H6240 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323. {words: or, matters}
All these were under the handsH3027 of their fatherH1 for songH7892 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, with cymbalsH4700, psalteriesH5035, and harpsH3658, for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, according to the king'sH4428 orderH3027 to AsaphH623, JeduthunH3038, and HemanH1968. {according…: Heb. by the hands of the king}
So the numberH4557 of them, with their brethrenH251 that were instructedH3925 in the songsH7892 of the LORDH3068, even all that were cunningH995, was two hundredH3967 fourscoreH8084 and eightH8083.
And they castH5307 lotsH1486, wardH4931 againstH5980 ward, as well the smallH6996 as the greatH1419, the teacherH995 as the scholarH8527.
And the portersH7778 were, ShallumH7967, and AkkubH6126, and TalmonH2929, and AhimanH289, and their brethrenH251: ShallumH7967 was the chiefH7218;
Who hitherto waited in the king'sH4428 gateH8179 eastwardH4217: they were portersH7778 in the companiesH4264 of the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878.
And ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of KoreH6981, the sonH1121 of EbiasaphH43, the sonH1121 of KorahH7141, and his brethrenH251, of the houseH1004 of his fatherH1, the KorahitesH7145, were over the workH4399 of the serviceH5656, keepersH8104 of the gatesH5592 of the tabernacleH168: and their fathersH1, being over the hostH4264 of the LORDH3068, were keepersH8104 of the entryH3996. {gates: Heb. thresholds}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 was the rulerH5057 over them in time pastH6440, and the LORDH3068 was with him.
And ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of MeshelemiahH4920 was porterH7778 of the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
All these which were chosenH1305 to be portersH7778 in the gatesH5592 were two hundredH3967 and twelveH8147+H6240. These were reckoned by their genealogyH3187 in their villagesH2691, whomH1992 DavidH1732 and SamuelH8050 the seerH7200 did ordainH3245 in their set officeH530. {did…: Heb. founded} {set…: or, trust}
So they and their childrenH1121 had the oversight of the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, namely, the houseH1004 of the tabernacleH168, by wardsH4931.
In fourH702 quartersH7307 were the portersH7778, toward the eastH4217, westH3220, northH6828, and southH5045.
And their brethrenH251, which were in their villagesH2691, were to comeH935 after sevenH7651 daysH3117 from timeH6256 to timeH6256 with them.
For these LevitesH3881, the fourH702 chiefH1368 portersH7778, were in their set officeH530, and were over the chambersH3957 and treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. {set…: or, trust} {chambers: or, storehouses}
And they lodgedH3885 round aboutH5439 the houseH1004 of GodH430, because the chargeH4931 was upon them, and the openingH4668 thereof every morningH1242 pertained to them.

These soughtH1245 their registerH3791 among those that were reckoned by genealogyH3187, but they were not foundH4672: therefore were they, as pollutedH1351, put from the priesthoodH3550. {were they…: Heb. they were polluted from the priesthood}
And the TirshathaH8660 saidH559 unto them, that they should not eatH398 of the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, till there stood upH5975 a priestH3548 with UrimH224 and with ThummimH8550. {Tirshatha: or, governor}
The whole congregationH6951 togetherH259 was fortyH702+H7239 and two thousandH505 threeH7969 hundredH3967 and threescoreH8346,

They gaveH5414 after their abilityH3581 unto the treasureH214 of the workH4399 threescoreH8337+H7239 and one thousandH505 dramsH1871 of goldH2091, and fiveH2568 thousandH505 poundH4488 of silverH3701, and one hundredH3967 priests'H3548 garmentsH3801.

And I gathered them togetherH6908 to the riverH5104 that runnethH935 to AhavaH163; and there abode we in tentsH2583 threeH7969 daysH3117: and I viewedH995 the peopleH5971, and the priestsH3548, and foundH4672 there none of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878. {abode: or, pitched}
Then sentH7971 I for EliezerH461, for ArielH740, for ShemaiahH8098, and for ElnathanH494, and for JaribH3402, and for ElnathanH494, and for NathanH5416, and for ZechariahH2148, and for MeshullamH4918, chief menH7218; also for JoiaribH3114, and for ElnathanH494, men of understandingH995.
