These are now the chiefH7218 of their fathersH1, and this is the genealogyH3187 of them that went upH5927 with me from BabylonH894, in the reignH4438 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428.
Of the sonsH1121 of PhinehasH6372; GershomH1647: of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385; DanielH1840: of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732; HattushH2407.
Of the sonsH1121 of ShechaniahH7935, of the sonsH1121 of PharoshH6551; ZechariahH2148: and with him were reckoned by genealogyH3187 of the malesH2145 an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572.
Of the sonsH1121 of PahathmoabH6355; ElihoenaiH454 the sonH1121 of ZerahiahH2228, and with him two hundredH3967 malesH2145.
Of the sonsH1121 of ShechaniahH7935; the sonH1121 of JahazielH3166, and with him threeH7969 hundredH3967 malesH2145.
Of the sonsH1121 also of AdinH5720; EbedH5651 the sonH1121 of JonathanH3129, and with him fiftyH2572 malesH2145.
And of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867; JeshaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AthaliahH6271, and with him seventyH7657 malesH2145.
And of the sonsH1121 of ShephatiahH8203; ZebadiahH2069 the sonH1121 of MichaelH4317, and with him fourscoreH8084 malesH2145.
Of the sonsH1121 of JoabH3097; ObadiahH5662 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, and with him two hundredH3967 and eighteenH8083+H6240 malesH2145.
And of the sonsH1121 of ShelomithH8019; the sonH1121 of JosiphiahH3131, and with him an hundredH3967 and threescoreH8346 malesH2145.
And of the sonsH1121 of BebaiH893; ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of BebaiH893, and with him twentyH6242 and eightH8083 malesH2145.
And of the sonsH1121 of AzgadH5803; JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of HakkatanH6997, and with him an hundredH3967 and tenH6235 malesH2145. {the son…: or, the youngest son}
And of the lastH314 sonsH1121 of AdonikamH140, whose namesH8034 are these, ElipheletH467, JeielH3273, and ShemaiahH8098, and with them threescoreH8346 malesH2145.
Of the sonsH1121 also of BigvaiH902; UthaiH5793, and ZabbudH2072+H2139, and with them seventyH7657 malesH2145. {Zabbud: or, Zaccur, as some read}
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.
And I sentH6680 them with commandmentH3318 unto IddoH112 the chiefH7218 at the placeH4725 CasiphiaH3703, and I toldH7760+H6310 them whatH1697 they should sayH1696 unto IddoH112, and to his brethrenH251 the NethinimsH5411+H5411, at the placeH4725 CasiphiaH3703, that they should bringH935 unto us ministersH8334 for the houseH1004 of our GodH430. {I told…: Heb. I put words in their mouth}
And by the goodH2896 handH3027 of our GodH430 upon us they broughtH935 us a manH376 of understandingH7922, of the sonsH1121 of MahliH4249, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478; and SherebiahH8274, with his sonsH1121 and his brethrenH251, eighteenH8083+H6240;
And HashabiahH2811, and with him JeshaiahH3470 of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, his brethrenH251 and their sonsH1121, twentyH6242;
Also of the NethinimsH5411, whom DavidH1732 and the princesH8269 had appointedH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the LevitesH3881, two hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 NethinimsH5411: all of them were expressedH5344 by nameH8034.
Then I proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 there, at the riverH5104 of AhavaH163, that we might afflictH6031 ourselves beforeH6440 our GodH430, to seekH1245 of him a rightH3477 wayH1870 for us, and for our little onesH2945, and for all our substanceH7399.
For I was ashamedH954 to requireH7592 of the kingH4428 a band of soldiersH2428 and horsemenH6571 to helpH5826 us against the enemyH341 in the wayH1870: because we had spokenH559 unto the kingH4428, sayingH559, The handH3027 of our GodH430 is upon all them for goodH2896 that seekH1245 him; but his powerH5797 and his wrathH639 is against all them that forsakeH5800 him.
So we fastedH6684 and besoughtH1245 our GodH430 for this: and he was intreatedH6279 of us.
Then I separatedH914 twelveH8147+H6240 of the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, SherebiahH8274, HashabiahH2811, and tenH6235 of their brethrenH251 with them,
And weighedH8254 unto them the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, even the offeringH8641 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, which the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289, and his lordsH8269, and all IsraelH3478 there presentH4672, had offeredH7311:
I even weighedH8254 unto their handH3027 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and silverH3701 vesselsH3627 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603, and of goldH2091 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603;
Also twentyH6242 basonsH3713 of goldH2091, of a thousandH505 dramsH150; and twoH8147 vesselsH3627 of fineH2896+H6668 copperH5178, preciousH2532 as goldH2091. {fine…: Heb. yellow, or, shining brass} {precious: Heb. desirable}
And I saidH559 unto them, Ye are holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; the vesselsH3627 are holyH6944 also; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 are a freewill offeringH5071 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1.
WatchH8245 ye, and keepH8104 them, until ye weighH8254 them beforeH6440 the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389, in the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
So tookH6901 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 the weightH4948 of the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389 unto the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
Then we departedH5265 from the riverH5104 of AhavaH163 on the twelfthH8147+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320, to goH3212 unto JerusalemH3389: and the handH3027 of our GodH430 was upon us, and he deliveredH5337 us from the handH3709 of the enemyH341, and of such as lay in waitH693 by the wayH1870.
And we cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and abodeH3427 there threeH7969 daysH3117.
Now on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 was the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627 weighedH8254 in the houseH1004 of our GodH430 by the handH3027 of MeremothH4822 the sonH1121 of UriahH223 the priestH3548; and with him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372; and with them was JozabadH3107 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3442, and NoadiahH5129 the sonH1121 of BinnuiH1131, LevitesH3881;
By numberH4557 and by weightH4948 of every one: and all the weightH4948 was writtenH3789 at that timeH6256.
Also the childrenH1121 of those that had been carried awayH1473, which were come outH935 of the captivityH7628, offeredH7126 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, twelveH8147+H6240 bullocksH6499 for all IsraelH3478, ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 ramsH352, seventyH7657 and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, twelveH8147+H6240 he goatsH6842 for a sin offeringH2403: all this was a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068.
And they deliveredH5414 the king'sH4428 commissionsH1881 unto the king'sH4428 lieutenantsH323, and to the governorsH6346 on this sideH5676 the riverH5104: and they furtheredH5375 the peopleH5971, and the houseH1004 of GodH430.

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,

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 in the daysH3117 of ArtaxerxesH783 wroteH3789 BishlamH1312, MithredathH4990, TabeelH2870, and the restH7605 of their companionsH3674, unto ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539; and the writingH3791 of the letterH5406 was writtenH3789 in the Syrian tongueH762, and interpretedH8638 in the Syrian tongueH762. {Bishlam: or, in peace} {companions: Heb. societies}
RehumH7348 the chancellorH1169+H2942 and ShimshaiH8124 the scribeH5613 wroteH3790 aH2298 letterH104 againstH5922 JerusalemH3390 to ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4430 in this sortH3660: {scribe: or, secretary}
ThenH116 wrote RehumH7348 the chancellorH1169+H2942, and ShimshaiH8124 the scribeH5613, and the restH7606 of their companionsH3675; the DinaitesH1784, the ApharsathchitesH671, the TarpelitesH2967, the ApharsitesH670, the ArchevitesH756, the BabyloniansH896, the SusanchitesH7801, the DehavitesH1723, and the ElamitesH5962, {companions: Chald. societies}
And the restH7606 of the nationsH524 whomH1768 the greatH7229 and nobleH3358 AsnapparH620 brought overH1541, and setH3488+H1994 in the citiesH7149 of SamariaH8115, and the restH7606 that are on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, and at such a timeH3706. {at such…: Chaldee, Cheeneth}
ThisH1836 is the copyH6573 of the letterH104 thatH1768 they sentH7972 unto himH5922, even unto ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4430; Thy servantsH5649 the menH606 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, and at such a timeH3706.
Be itH1934 knownH3046 unto the kingH4430, that the JewsH3062 whichH1768 came upH5559 fromH4481 theeH3890 to usH5922 are comeH858 unto JerusalemH3390, buildingH1124 the rebelliousH4779 and the badH873 cityH7149, and have set upH3635+H3635 the wallsH7792 thereof, and joinedH2338 the foundationsH787. {set up: or, finished} {joined: Chal. sewed together}
Be it knownH3046+H1934 nowH3705 unto the kingH4430, that, ifH2006 thisH1791 cityH7149 be buildedH1124, and the wallsH7792 set upH3635 again, then will they notH3809 payH5415 tollH4061, tributeH1093, and customH1983, and so thou shalt endamageH5142 the revenueH674 of the kingsH4430. {pay: Chal. give} {revenue: or, strength}
NowH3705 becauseH6903+H3606 we haveH1768 maintenanceH4415+H4416 from the king's palaceH1965, and it was notH3809 meetH749 for us to seeH2370 the king'sH4430 dishonourH6173, thereforeH5922+H1836 have we sentH7972 and certifiedH3046 the kingH4430; {we have…: Chal. we are salted with the salt of the palace}
That searchH1240 may be made in the bookH5609 of the recordsH1799 of thy fathersH2: so shalt thou findH7912 in the bookH5609 of the recordsH1799, and knowH3046 that thisH1791 cityH7149 is a rebelliousH4779 cityH7149, and hurtfulH5142 unto kingsH4430 and provincesH4083, and that they have movedH5648 seditionH849 within the sameH1459 ofH4481 oldH5957 timeH3118: forH5922 whichH1836 cause was thisH1791 cityH7149 destroyedH2718. {moved: Cald. made} {within…: Chald. in the midst thereof}
WeH586 certifyH3046 the kingH4430 that, ifH2006 thisH1791 cityH7149 be buildedH1124 again, and the wallsH7792 thereof set upH3635, by thisH1836 meansH6903 thou shalt haveH383 noH3809 portionH2508 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103.
Then sentH7972 the kingH4430 an answerH6600 untoH5922 RehumH7348 the chancellorH1169+H2942, and to ShimshaiH8124 the scribeH5613, and to the restH7606 of their companionsH3675 that dwellH3488 in SamariaH8115, and unto the restH7606 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, PeaceH8001, and at such a timeH3706. {companions: Chal. societies}
The letterH5407 which ye sentH7972 unto usH5922 hath been plainlyH6568 readH7123 beforeH6925 me.
And IH4481 commandedH7761+H2942, and searchH1240 hath been made, and it is foundH7912 that thisH1791 cityH7149 ofH4481 oldH5957 timeH3118 hath made insurrectionH5376 againstH5922 kingsH4430, and that rebellionH4776 and seditionH849 have been madeH5648 therein. {I commanded: Chald. by me a decree is set} {made insurrection: Chald. lifted up itself}
There have beenH1934 mightyH8624 kingsH4430 also overH5922 JerusalemH3390, which have ruledH7990 over allH3606 countries beyondH5675 the riverH5103; and tollH4061, tributeH1093, and customH1983, was paidH3052 unto them.
GiveH7761 ye nowH3705 commandmentH2942 to causeH989 theseH479 menH1400 to ceaseH989, and that thisH1791 cityH7149 be notH3809 buildedH1124, untilH5705 another commandmentH2941 shall be givenH7761 from meH4481. {Give…: Chaldee, Make a decree}
Take heedH1934+H2095 now that ye failH7960 not to doH5922+H5648 thisH1836: whyH4101 should damageH2257 growH7680 to the hurtH5142 of the kingsH4430?
NowH116 whenH4481+H1768 the copyH6573 of kingH4430 Artaxerxes'H783 letterH5407 was readH7123 beforeH6925 RehumH7348, and ShimshaiH8124 the scribeH5613, and their companionsH3675, they went upH236 in hasteH924 to JerusalemH3390 untoH5922 the JewsH3062, and made themH1994 to ceaseH989 by forceH153 and powerH2429. {by force…: Chaldee, by arm and power}
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.
The copyH6573 of the letterH104 that TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, and ShetharboznaiH8370, and his companionsH3675 the ApharsachitesH671, which were on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, sentH7972 untoH5922 DariusH1868 the kingH4430:
They sentH7972 a letterH6600 untoH5922 him, whereinH1459 was writtenH3790 thusH1836; Unto DariusH1868 the kingH4430, allH3606 peaceH8001. {wherein: Chaldee, in the midst whereof}
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}
ThenH116 askedH7593 we thoseH479 eldersH7868, and saidH560 unto them thusH3660, WhoH4479 commandedH7761+H2942 you to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005, and to make upH3635 theseH1836 wallsH846?
We askedH7593 their namesH8036 alsoH638, to certifyH3046 thee, that we might writeH3790 the namesH8036 of the menH1400 that were the chiefH7217 of them.
And thusH3660 they returnedH8421 us answerH6600, sayingH560, WeH586 areH1994 the servantsH5649 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 and earthH772, and buildH1124 the houseH1005 that wasH1934 buildedH1124 theseH1836 manyH7690 yearsH8140 agoH6928, which a greatH7229 kingH4430 of IsraelH3479 buildedH1124 and set upH3635.
ButH3861 afterH4481 that our fathersH2 had provokedH7265 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 unto wrathH7265, he gaveH3052 themH1994 into the handH3028 of NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895, the ChaldeanH3679, who destroyedH5642 thisH1836 houseH1005, and carriedH1541 the peopleH5972 awayH1541 into BabylonH895.
ButH1297 in the firstH2298 yearH8140 of CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895 the same kingH4430 CyrusH3567 madeH7761 a decreeH2942 to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426.
And the vesselsH3984 alsoH638 ofH1768 goldH1722 and silverH3702 of the houseH1005 of GodH426, which NebuchadnezzarH5020 tookH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 that was in JerusalemH3390, and broughtH2987 them into the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, thoseH1994 did CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 takeH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, and they were deliveredH3052 unto one, whose nameH8036 was SheshbazzarH8340, whom he had madeH7761 governorH6347; {governor: or, deputy}
And saidH560 unto him, TakeH5376 theseH412 vesselsH3984, goH236, carryH5182 themH1994 into the templeH1965 that is in JerusalemH3390, and let the houseH1005 of GodH426 be buildedH1124 inH5922 his placeH870.
ThenH116 cameH858 the sameH1791 SheshbazzarH8340, and laidH3052 the foundationH787 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390: and sinceH4481 that timeH116 even untilH5705 nowH3705 hath it been in buildingH1124, and yet it is notH3809 finishedH8000.
NowH3705 therefore, ifH2006 it seem goodH2869 toH5922 the kingH4430, let there be searchH1240 made in the king'sH4430 treasureH1596 houseH1005, which is thereH8536 at BabylonH895, whetherH2006 it beH383 so, that a decreeH2942 was madeH7761 ofH4481 CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 to buildH1124 thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 at JerusalemH3390, and let the kingH4430 sendH7972 his pleasureH7470 to us concerningH5922 this matterH1836.
Also the sonsH1121 of the strangerH5236, that joinH3867 themselves to the LORDH3068, to serveH8334 him, and to loveH157 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to be his servantsH5650, every one that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from pollutingH2490 it, and taketh holdH2388 of my covenantH1285;
Even them will I bringH935 to my holyH6944 mountainH2022, and make them joyfulH8055 in my houseH1004 of prayerH8605: their burnt offeringsH5930 and their sacrificesH2077 shall be acceptedH7522 upon mine altarH4196; for mine houseH1004 shall be calledH7121 an houseH1004 of prayerH8605 for all peopleH5971.
