In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 a thingH1697 was revealedH1540 unto DanielH1840, whose nameH8034 was calledH7121 BelteshazzarH1095; and the thingH1697 was trueH571, but the time appointedH6635 was longH1419: and he understoodH995 the thingH1697, and had understandingH998 of the visionH4758. {long: Heb. great}
In those daysH3117 I DanielH1840 was mourningH56 threeH7969 fullH3117 weeksH7620. {full…: Heb. weeks of days}
I ateH398 no pleasantH2532 breadH3899, neither cameH935 fleshH1320 nor wineH3196 in my mouthH6310, neither did I anointH5480 myself at allH5480, till threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeksH7620 were fulfilledH4390. {pleasant…: Heb. bread of desires}
And in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, as I was by the sideH3027 of the greatH1419 riverH5104, which is HiddekelH2313;
Then I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold a certainH259 manH376 clothedH3847 in linenH906, whose loinsH4975 were girdedH2296 with fine goldH3800 of UphazH210: {a…: Heb. one man}
His bodyH1472 also was like the berylH8658, and his faceH6440 as the appearanceH4758 of lightningH1300, and his eyesH5869 as lampsH3940 of fireH784, and his armsH2220 and his feetH4772 like in colourH5869 to polishedH7044 brassH5178, and the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697 like the voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995.
And I DanielH1840 alone sawH7200 the visionH4759: for the menH582 that were with me sawH7200 not the visionH4759; butH61 a greatH1419 quakingH2731 fellH5307 upon them, so that they fledH1272 to hideH2244 themselves.
Therefore I was left aloneH7604, and sawH7200 this greatH1419 visionH4759, and there remainedH7604 no strengthH3581 in me: for my comelinessH1935 was turnedH2015 in me into corruptionH4889, and I retainedH6113 no strengthH3581. {comeliness: or, vigour}
Yet heardH8085 I the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697: and when I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697, then was I in a deep sleepH7290 on my faceH6440, and my faceH6440 toward the groundH776.
And, behold, an handH3027 touchedH5060 me, which setH5128 me upon my kneesH1290 and upon the palmsH3709 of my handsH3027. {set: Heb. moved}
And he saidH559 unto me, O DanielH1840, a manH376 greatly belovedH2532, understandH995 the wordsH1697 that I speakH1696 unto thee, and standH5975 uprightH5977: for unto thee am I now sentH7971. And when he had spokenH1696 this wordH1697 unto me, I stoodH5975 tremblingH7460. {greatly…: Heb. of desires} {upright: Heb. upon thy standing}
Then saidH559 he unto me, FearH3372 not, DanielH1840: for from the firstH7223 dayH3117 that thou didst setH5414 thine heartH3820 to understandH995, and to chastenH6031 thyself beforeH6440 thy GodH430, thy wordsH1697 were heardH8085, and I am comeH935 for thy wordsH1697.
But the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 withstoodH5975 me oneH259 and twentyH6242 daysH3117: but, lo, MichaelH4317, oneH259 of the chiefH7223 princesH8269, cameH935 to helpH5826 me; and I remainedH3498 there withH681 the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539. {chief: or, first}
Now I am comeH935 to make thee understandH995 what shall befallH7136 thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 daysH3117: for yet the visionH2377 is for many daysH3117.
And when he had spokenH1696 such wordsH1697 unto me, I setH5414 my faceH6440 toward the groundH776, and I became dumbH481.
And, behold, one like the similitudeH1823 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 touchedH5060 my lipsH8193: then I openedH6605 my mouthH6310, and spakeH1696, and saidH559 unto him that stoodH5975 before me, O my lordH113, by the visionH4759 my sorrowsH6735 are turnedH2015 upon me, and I have retainedH6113 no strengthH3581.
For howH1963 canH3201 the servantH5650 of this my lordH113 talkH1696 with this my lordH113? for as for me, straightwayH6258 there remainedH5975 no strengthH3581 in me, neither is there breathH5397 leftH7604 in me. {the…: or, this servant of my lord}
Then there came againH3254 and touchedH5060 me one like the appearanceH4758 of a manH120, and he strengthenedH2388 me,
And saidH559, O manH376 greatly belovedH2532, fearH3372 not: peaceH7965 be unto thee, be strongH2388, yea, be strongH2388. And when he had spokenH1696 unto me, I was strengthenedH2388, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 speakH1696; for thou hast strengthenedH2388 me.
Then saidH559 he, KnowestH3045 thou wherefore I comeH935 unto thee? and now will I returnH7725 to fightH3898 with the princeH8269 of PersiaH6539: and when I am gone forthH3318, lo, the princeH8269 of GreciaH3120 shall comeH935.
ButH61 I will shewH5046 thee that which is notedH7559 in the scriptureH3791 of truthH571: and there is noneH259 that holdethH2388 with me in these things, but MichaelH4317 your princeH8269. {holdeth: Heb. strengtheneth himself}

So thisH1836 DanielH1841 prosperedH6744 in the reignH4437 of DariusH1868, and in the reignH4437 of CyrusH3567 the PersianH6543.
But atH5705 the lastH318 DanielH1841 came inH5922 before meH6925, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, according to the nameH8036 of my godH426, and in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426: and beforeH6925 him I toldH560 the dreamH2493, saying,

But thou, O DanielH1840, shut upH5640 the wordsH1697, and sealH2856 the bookH5612, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: manyH7227 shall run to and froH7751, and knowledgeH1847 shall be increasedH7235.

ThenH116 DanielH1841 answeredH6032 and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, Let thy giftsH4978 beH1934 to thyself, and giveH3052 thy rewardsH5023 to anotherH321; yetH1297 I will readH7123 the writingH3792 unto the kingH4430, and make knownH3046 to him the interpretationH6591. {rewards: or, fee}
Thus saithH559 CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, All the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 hath the LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064 givenH5414 me; and he hath chargedH6485 me to buildH1129 him an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063.

Now in the firstH259 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 might be fulfilledH3615, the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that he made a proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout all his kingdomH4438, and put it also in writingH4385, sayingH559, {made…: Heb. caused a voice to pass}

Thus saithH559 CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064 hath givenH5414 me all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; and he hath chargedH6485 me to buildH1129 him an houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063.
At the beginningH8462 of thy supplicationsH8469 the commandmentH1697 came forthH3318, and I am comeH935 to shewH5046 thee; for thou art greatly belovedH2532: therefore understandH995 the matterH1697, and considerH995 the visionH4758. {commandment: Heb. word} {greatly…: Heb. a man of desires}
Also CyrusH3566 the kingH4428 brought forthH3318 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, which NebuchadnezzarH5019 had brought forthH3318 out of JerusalemH3389, and had putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of his godsH430;
Even those did CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 bring forthH3318 by the handH3027 of MithredathH4990 the treasurerH1489, and numberedH5608 them unto SheshbazzarH8339, the princeH5387 of JudahH3063.
They gaveH5414 moneyH3701 also unto the masonsH2672, and to the carpentersH2796; and meatH3978, and drinkH4960, and oilH8081, unto them of ZidonH6722, and to them of TyreH6876, to bringH935 cedarH730 treesH6086 from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220 of JoppaH3305, according to the grantH7558 that they had of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539. {carpenters: or, workmen}
But ZerubbabelH2216, and JeshuaH3442, and the restH7605 of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, saidH559 unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto our GodH430; but we ourselves togetherH3162 will buildH1129 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, as kingH4428 CyrusH3566 the kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 hath commandedH6680 us.
And hiredH7936 counsellorsH3289 against them, to frustrateH6565 their purposeH6098, all the daysH3117 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, even until the reignH4438 of DariusH1867 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539.
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.
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;
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}
That saithH559 of CyrusH3566, He is my shepherdH7462, and shall performH7999 all my pleasureH2656: even sayingH559 to JerusalemH3389, Thou shalt be builtH1129; and to the templeH1964, Thy foundation shall be laidH3245.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose right handH3225 I have holdenH2388, to subdueH7286 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605 the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428, to openH6605 beforeH6440 him the two leaved gatesH1817; and the gatesH8179 shall not be shutH5462; {have…: or, strengthened}
