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 the nextH7138 unto him was CarshenaH3771, ShetharH8369, AdmathaH133, TarshishH8659, MeresH4825, MarsenaH4826, and MemucanH4462, the sevenH7651 princesH8269 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074, which sawH7200 the king'sH4428 faceH6440, and which satH3427 the firstH7223 in the kingdomH4438;)
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.
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 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}
Be it knownH1934+H3046 unto the kingH4430, that we wentH236 into the provinceH4083 of JudeaH3061, to the houseH1005 of the greatH7229 GodH426, which is buildedH1124 with greatH1560 stonesH69, and timberH636 is laidH7761 in the wallsH3797, and thisH1791 workH5673 goethH5648 fastH629 on, and prosperethH6744 in their handsH3028. {great…: Chaldee, stones of rolling}
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
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.
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 unto DanielH1841, and saidH560, OfH4481 a truthH7187 it is, thatH1768 your GodH426 is a GodH426 of godsH426, and a LordH4756 of kingsH4430, and a revealerH1541 of secretsH7328, seeing thou couldestH3202 revealH1541 thisH1836 secretH7328.
To the lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584: if they speakH559 not according to this wordH1697, it is because there is no lightH7837 in them. {no…: Heb. no morning}
And when he cameH7127 to the denH1358, he criedH2200 with a lamentableH6088 voiceH7032 unto DanielH1841: and the kingH4430 spakeH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, O DanielH1841, servantH5649 of the livingH2417 GodH426, is thy GodH426, whom thou servestH6399 continuallyH8411, ableH3202 to deliverH7804 thee fromH4481 the lionsH744?
IH4481+H6925 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That in everyH3606 dominionH7985 of my kingdomH4437 men trembleH1934+H2112 and fearH1763 beforeH4481+H6925 the GodH426 of DanielH1841: for he is the livingH2417 GodH426, and stedfastH7011 for everH5957, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255, and his dominionH7985 shall be even untoH5705 the endH5491.
