In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the kingH4428, in the sixthH8345 monthH2320, in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030 unto ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of} {governor: or, captain}
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, This peopleH5971 sayH559, The timeH6256 is not comeH935, the timeH6256 that the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 should be builtH1129.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
Is it timeH6256 for you, O ye, to dwellH3427 in your cieledH5603 housesH1004, and this houseH1004 lie wasteH2720?
Now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760+H3824 your waysH1870. {Consider…: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
Ye have sownH2232 muchH7235, and bringH935 in littleH4592; ye eatH398, but ye have not enoughH7654; ye drinkH8354, but ye are not filled with drinkH7937; ye clotheH3847 you, but there is none warmH2527; and he that earneth wagesH7936 earneth wagesH7936 to put it into a bagH6872 with holesH5344. {with holes: Heb. pierced through}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760+H3824 your waysH1870. {Consider…: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
Go upH5927 to the mountainH2022, and bringH935 woodH6086, and buildH1129 the houseH1004; and I will take pleasureH7521 in it, and I will be glorifiedH3513, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Ye lookedH6437 for muchH7235, and, lo, it came to littleH4592; and when ye broughtH935 it homeH1004, I did blowH5301 upon it. Why? saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. BecauseH3282 of mine houseH1004 that is wasteH2720, and ye runH7323 every manH376 unto his own houseH1004. {blow…: or, blow it away}
Therefore the heavenH8064 over you is stayedH3607 from dewH2919, and the earthH776 is stayedH3607 from her fruitH2981.
And I calledH7121 for a droughtH2721 upon the landH776, and upon the mountainsH2022, and upon the cornH1715, and upon the new wineH8492, and upon the oilH3323, and upon that which the groundH127 bringeth forthH3318, and upon menH120, and upon cattleH929, and upon all the labourH3018 of the handsH3709.
Then stood upH6965 JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and his brethrenH251 the priestsH3548, and ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and his brethrenH251, and buildedH1129 the altarH4196 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 thereon, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430. {Jeshua: also called, Joshua} {Zerubbabel: Gr. Zorobabel} {Shealtiel: Gr. Salathiel}
And it shall come to pass, when seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are accomplishedH4390, that I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for their iniquityH5771, and the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and will makeH7760 it perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, That afterH6310 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 be accomplishedH4390 at BabylonH894 I will visitH6485 you, and performH6965 my goodH2896 wordH1697 toward you, in causing you to returnH7725 to this placeH4725.
In the firstH259 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 I DanielH1840 understoodH995 by booksH5612 the numberH4557 of the yearsH8141, whereof the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, that he would accomplishH4390 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 in the desolationsH2723 of JerusalemH3389.
And I setH5414 my faceH6440 unto the LordH136 GodH430, to seekH1245 by prayerH8605 and supplicationsH8469, with fastingH6685, and sackclothH8242, and ashesH665:
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 he was afraidH3372, and saidH559, How dreadfulH3372 is this placeH4725! this is none other but the houseH1004 of GodH430, and this is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064.
AndG2532 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the tabernacleG4633 of GodG2316 is withG3326 menG444, andG2532 he will dwellG4637 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 hisG846 peopleG2992, andG2532 GodG2316 himselfG846 shall beG2071 withG3326 themG846, and be theirG846 GodG2316.
Thy testimoniesH5713 are veryH3966 sureH539: holinessH6944 becomethH4998 thine houseH1004, O LORDH3068, for everH753+H3117. {for ever: Heb. to length of days}
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.
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.
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 whosoever remainethH7604 in any placeH4725 where he sojournethH1481, let the menH582 of his placeH4725 helpH5375 him with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with goodsH7399, and with beastsH929, beside the freewill offeringH5071 for the houseH1004 of GodH430 that is in JerusalemH3389. {help…: Heb. lift him up}
Then rose upH6965 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, with all them whose spiritH7307 GodH430 had raisedH5782, to go upH5927 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389.
Now in the secondH8145 yearH8141 of their comingH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 at JerusalemH3389, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, beganH2490 ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and the remnantH7605 of their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all they that were come outH935 of the captivityH7628 unto JerusalemH3389; and appointedH5975 the LevitesH3881, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, to set forwardH5329 the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Then stoodH5975 JeshuaH3442 with his sonsH1121 and his brethrenH251, KadmielH6934 and his sonsH1121, the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, togetherH259, to set forwardH5329 the workmenH6213+H4399 in the houseH1004 of GodH430: the sonsH1121 of HenadadH2582, with their sonsH1121 and their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881. {Judah: or, Hodaviah,Chap.2.40} {together: Heb. as one}
And when the buildersH1129 laid the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, they setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their apparelH3847 with trumpetsH2689, and the LevitesH3881 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 with cymbalsH4700, to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, after the ordinanceH3027 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
Now when the adversariesH6862 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 heardH8085 that the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 buildedH1129 the templeH1964 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478; {the children…: Heb. the sons of the transportation}
Then they cameH5066 to ZerubbabelH2216, and to the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, and saidH559 unto them, Let us buildH1129 with you: for we seekH1875 your GodH430, as ye do; and we do sacrificeH2076 unto him since the daysH3117 of EsarhaddonH634 kingH4428 of AssurH804, which brought us up hitherH5927.
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.
Then the peopleH5971 of the landH776 weakenedH7503 the handsH3027 of the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, and troubledH926+H1089 them in buildingH1129,
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.
And in the reignH4438 of AhasuerusH325, in the beginningH8462 of his reignH4438, wroteH3789 they unto him an accusationH7855 against the inhabitantsH3427 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. {Ahasuerus: Heb. Ahashverosh}
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 ceasedH989 the workH5673 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which is at JerusalemH3390. So it ceasedH1934+H989 untoH5705 the secondH8648 yearH8140 of the reignH4437 of DariusH1868 kingH4430 of PersiaH6540.
Then they cameH5066 to ZerubbabelH2216, and to the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, and saidH559 unto them, Let us buildH1129 with you: for we seekH1875 your GodH430, as ye do; and we do sacrificeH2076 unto him since the daysH3117 of EsarhaddonH634 kingH4428 of AssurH804, which brought us up hitherH5927.
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, This peopleH5971 sayH559, The timeH6256 is not comeH935, the timeH6256 that the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 should be builtH1129.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
Is it timeH6256 for you, O ye, to dwellH3427 in your cieledH5603 housesH1004, and this houseH1004 lie wasteH2720?
Now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760+H3824 your waysH1870. {Consider…: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
Ye have sownH2232 muchH7235, and bringH935 in littleH4592; ye eatH398, but ye have not enoughH7654; ye drinkH8354, but ye are not filled with drinkH7937; ye clotheH3847 you, but there is none warmH2527; and he that earneth wagesH7936 earneth wagesH7936 to put it into a bagH6872 with holesH5344. {with holes: Heb. pierced through}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760+H3824 your waysH1870. {Consider…: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
Go upH5927 to the mountainH2022, and bringH935 woodH6086, and buildH1129 the houseH1004; and I will take pleasureH7521 in it, and I will be glorifiedH3513, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Ye lookedH6437 for muchH7235, and, lo, it came to littleH4592; and when ye broughtH935 it homeH1004, I did blowH5301 upon it. Why? saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. BecauseH3282 of mine houseH1004 that is wasteH2720, and ye runH7323 every manH376 unto his own houseH1004. {blow…: or, blow it away}
Therefore the heavenH8064 over you is stayedH3607 from dewH2919, and the earthH776 is stayedH3607 from her fruitH2981.
And I calledH7121 for a droughtH2721 upon the landH776, and upon the mountainsH2022, and upon the cornH1715, and upon the new wineH8492, and upon the oilH3323, and upon that which the groundH127 bringeth forthH3318, and upon menH120, and upon cattleH929, and upon all the labourH3018 of the handsH3709.
