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,
Beside their servantsH5650 and their maidsH519, of whom there were sevenH7651 thousandH505 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thirtyH7970 and sevenH7651: and there wereH428 among them two hundredH3967 singing menH7891 and singing womenH7891.
Their horsesH5483 were sevenH7651 hundredH3967 thirtyH7970 and sixH8337; their mulesH6505, two hundredH3967 fortyH705 and fiveH2568;
Their camelsH1581, fourH702 hundredH3967 thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568; their assesH2543, sixH8337 thousandH505 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and twentyH6242.
And some of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, when they cameH935 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is at JerusalemH3389, offered freelyH5068 for the houseH1004 of GodH430 to set it upH5975 in his placeH4349:
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.
So the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and some of the peopleH5971, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778, and the NethinimsH5411, dweltH3427 in their citiesH5892, and all IsraelH3478 in their citiesH5892.
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}
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.
And this is the numberH4557 of them: thirtyH7970 chargersH105 of goldH2091, a thousandH505 chargersH105 of silverH3701, nineH8672 and twentyH6242 knivesH4252,
ThirtyH7970 basonsH3713 of goldH2091, silverH3701 basonsH3713 of a secondH4932 sort fourH702 hundredH3967 and tenH6235, and otherH312 vesselsH3627 a thousandH505.
All the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701 were fiveH2568 thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967. All these did SheshbazzarH8339 bring upH5927 with them of the captivityH1473 that were brought upH5927 from BabylonH894 unto JerusalemH3389. {the captivity: Heb. the transportation}
The whole congregationH6951 togetherH259 was fortyH702+H7239 and two thousandH505 threeH7969 hundredH3967 and threescoreH8346,
And when the seventhH7637 monthH2320 was comeH5060, and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were in the citiesH5892, the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 as oneH259 manH376 to JerusalemH3389.
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 they setH3559 the altarH4196 upon his basesH4350; for fearH367 was upon them because of the peopleH5971 of those countriesH776: and they offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 thereon unto the LORDH3068, even burnt offeringsH5930 morningH1242 and eveningH6153.
They keptH6213 also the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521, as it is writtenH3789, and offered the dailyH3117+H3117 burnt offeringsH5930 by numberH4557, according to the customH4941, as the dutyH1697 of every dayH3117 requiredH3117; {as the duty…: Heb. the matter of the day in his day}
And afterwardH310 offered the continualH8548 burnt offeringH5930, both of the new moonsH2320, and of all the set feastsH4150 of the LORDH3068 that were consecratedH6942, and of every one that willingly offeredH5068 a freewill offeringH5071 unto the LORDH3068.
From the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 beganH2490 they to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068. But the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 was not yet laidH3245. {the foundation…: Heb. the temple of the LORD was not yet founded}
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.
And they sang together by courseH6030 in praisingH1984 and giving thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; because he is goodH2896, for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769 toward IsraelH3478. And all the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, when they praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, because the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was laidH3245.
But manyH7227 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, who were ancient menH2205, that had seenH7200 the firstH7223 houseH1004, when the foundationH3245 of this houseH1004 was laidH3245 before their eyesH5869, weptH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963; and manyH7227 shoutedH8643 aloudH7311 for joyH8057:
So that the peopleH5971 could not discernH5234 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643 of joyH8057 from the noiseH6963 of the weepingH1065 of the peopleH5971: for the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a loudH1419 shoutH8643, and the noiseH6963 was heardH8085 afar offH7350.
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.
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.
Is it timeH6256 for you, O ye, to dwellH3427 in your cieledH5603 housesH1004, and this houseH1004 lie wasteH2720?
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}
And thisH1836 houseH1005 was finishedH3319 onH5705 the thirdH8532 dayH3118 of the monthH3393 AdarH144, which wasH1932 in the sixthH8353 yearH8140 of the reignH4437 of DariusH1868 the kingH4430.
And the childrenH1123 of IsraelH3479, the priestsH3549, and the LevitesH3879, and the restH7606 of the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547, keptH5648 the dedicationH2597 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426 with joyH2305, {the children of the captivity: Chaldee, the sons of the transportation}
And offeredH7127 at the dedicationH2597 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426 an hundredH3969 bullocksH8450, two hundredH3969 ramsH1798, fourH703 hundredH3969 lambsH563; and for a sin offeringH2402+H2409 forH5922 allH3606 IsraelH3479, twelveH8648+H6236 heH6841 goatsH5796, according to the numberH4510 of the tribesH7625 of IsraelH3479.
And they setH6966 the priestsH3549 in their divisionsH6392, and the LevitesH3879 in their coursesH4255, forH5922 the serviceH5673 of GodH426, which is at JerusalemH3390; as it is writtenH3792 in the bookH5609 of MosesH4873. {as it is…: Chaldee, according to the writing}
And the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 keptH6213 the passoverH6453 upon the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
For the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 were purifiedH2891 togetherH259, all of them were pureH2889, and killedH7819 the passoverH6453 for all the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473, and for their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548, and for themselves.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which were come againH7725 out of captivityH1473, and all such as had separatedH914 themselves unto them from the filthinessH2932 of the heathenH1471 of the landH776, to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, did eatH398,
And keptH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with joyH8057: for the LORDH3068 had made them joyfulH8055, and turnedH5437 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto them, to strengthenH2388 their handsH3027 in the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
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 ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, with all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971, obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, as the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him, and the peopleH5971 did fearH3372 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
Then spakeH559 HaggaiH2292 the LORD'SH3068 messengerH4397 in the LORD'SH3068 messageH4400 unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and the spiritH7307 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and the spiritH7307 of all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971; and they cameH935 and didH6213 workH4399 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, their GodH430,
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the sixthH8345 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the kingH4428.
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 ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, with all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971, obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, as the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him, and the peopleH5971 did fearH3372 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
Then spakeH559 HaggaiH2292 the LORD'SH3068 messengerH4397 in the LORD'SH3068 messageH4400 unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and the spiritH7307 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and the spiritH7307 of all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971; and they cameH935 and didH6213 workH4399 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, their GodH430,
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the sixthH8345 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the kingH4428.
In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 the prophetH5030 HaggaiH2292, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of}
SpeakH559 now to ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and to the residueH7611 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Who is leftH7604 among you that sawH7200 this houseH1004 in her firstH7223 gloryH3519? and how do ye seeH7200 it now? is it not in your eyesH5869 in comparisonH3644 of it as nothing?
Yet now be strongH2388, O ZerubbabelH2216, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and be strongH2388, O JoshuaH3091, sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548; and be strongH2388, all ye peopleH5971 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and workH6213: for I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
According to the wordH1697 that I covenantedH3772 with you when ye cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714, so my spiritH7307 remainethH5975 amongH8432 you: fearH3372 ye not.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Yet onceH259, it is a little whileH4592, and I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776, and the seaH3220, and the dryH2724 land;
And I will shakeH7493 all nationsH1471, and the desireH2532 of all nationsH1471 shall comeH935: and I will fillH4390 this houseH1004 with gloryH3519, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The silverH3701 is mine, and the goldH2091 is mine, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The gloryH3519 of this latterH314 houseH1004 shall be greater thanH1419 of the formerH7223, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and in this placeH4725 will I giveH5414 peaceH7965, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 the prophetH5030 HaggaiH2292, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of}
SpeakH559 now to ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and to the residueH7611 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Who is leftH7604 among you that sawH7200 this houseH1004 in her firstH7223 gloryH3519? and how do ye seeH7200 it now? is it not in your eyesH5869 in comparisonH3644 of it as nothing?
Yet now be strongH2388, O ZerubbabelH2216, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and be strongH2388, O JoshuaH3091, sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548; and be strongH2388, all ye peopleH5971 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and workH6213: for I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
According to the wordH1697 that I covenantedH3772 with you when ye cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714, so my spiritH7307 remainethH5975 amongH8432 you: fearH3372 ye not.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Yet onceH259, it is a little whileH4592, and I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776, and the seaH3220, and the dryH2724 land;
And I will shakeH7493 all nationsH1471, and the desireH2532 of all nationsH1471 shall comeH935: and I will fillH4390 this houseH1004 with gloryH3519, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The silverH3701 is mine, and the goldH2091 is mine, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The gloryH3519 of this latterH314 houseH1004 shall be greater thanH1419 of the formerH7223, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and in this placeH4725 will I giveH5414 peaceH7965, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AskH7592 now the priestsH3548 concerning the lawH8451, sayingH559,
If oneH376 bearH5375 holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garmentH899, and with his skirtH3671 do touchH5060 breadH3899, or pottageH5138, or wineH3196, or oilH8081, or any meatH3978, shall it be holyH6942? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, No.
Then saidH559 HaggaiH2292, If one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060 any of these, shall it be uncleanH2930? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It shall be uncleanH2930.
Then answeredH6030 HaggaiH2292, and saidH559, So is this peopleH5971, and so is this nationH1471 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and so is every workH4639 of their handsH3027; and that which they offerH7126 there is uncleanH2931.
And now, I pray you, considerH7760+H3824 from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from beforeH2962 a stoneH68 was laidH7760 upon a stoneH68 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068:
Since those days were, when one cameH935 to an heapH6194 of twentyH6242 measures, there were but tenH6235: when one cameH935 to the pressfatH3342 for to draw outH2834 fiftyH2572 vessels out of the pressH6333, there were but twentyH6242.
I smoteH5221 you with blastingH7711 and with mildewH3420 and with hailH1259 in all the laboursH4639 of your handsH3027; yet ye turned not to me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
ConsiderH7760+H3824 now from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the ninthH8671 month, even from the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the LORD'SH3068 templeH1964 was laid, considerH7760+H3824 it.
Is the seedH2233 yet in the barnH4035? yea, as yet the vineH1612, and the fig treeH8384, and the pomegranateH7416, and the oliveH2132 treeH6086, hath not brought forthH5375: from this dayH3117 will I blessH1288 you.
And againH8145 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto HaggaiH2292 in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 to ZerubbabelH2216, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776;
And I will overthrowH2015 the throneH3678 of kingdomsH4467, and I will destroyH8045 the strengthH2392 of the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471; and I will overthrowH2015 the chariotsH4818, and those that rideH7392 in them; and the horsesH5483 and their ridersH7392 shall come downH3381, every oneH376 by the swordH2719 of his brotherH251.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, will I takeH3947 thee, O ZerubbabelH2216, my servantH5650, the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and will makeH7760 thee as a signetH2368: for I have chosenH977 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
And againH8145 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto HaggaiH2292 in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 to ZerubbabelH2216, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776;
And I will overthrowH2015 the throneH3678 of kingdomsH4467, and I will destroyH8045 the strengthH2392 of the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471; and I will overthrowH2015 the chariotsH4818, and those that rideH7392 in them; and the horsesH5483 and their ridersH7392 shall come downH3381, every oneH376 by the swordH2719 of his brotherH251.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, will I takeH3947 thee, O ZerubbabelH2216, my servantH5650, the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and will makeH7760 thee as a signetH2368: for I have chosenH977 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
SpeakH559 to ZerubbabelH2216, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776;
And I will overthrowH2015 the throneH3678 of kingdomsH4467, and I will destroyH8045 the strengthH2392 of the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471; and I will overthrowH2015 the chariotsH4818, and those that rideH7392 in them; and the horsesH5483 and their ridersH7392 shall come downH3381, every oneH376 by the swordH2719 of his brotherH251.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, will I takeH3947 thee, O ZerubbabelH2216, my servantH5650, the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and will makeH7760 thee as a signetH2368: for I have chosenH977 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
WhoG3739 beingG5607 the brightnessG541 of his gloryG1391, andG2532 the express imageG5481 of hisG846 personG5287, andG5037 upholdingG5342 all thingsG3956 by the wordG4487 of hisG846 powerG1411, when he hadG4160+G2512 byG1223 himselfG1438 purgedG4160+G2512 ourG2257 sinsG266, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the MajestyG3172 onG1722 highG5308;
Now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760+H3824 your waysH1870. {Consider…: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760+H3824 your waysH1870. {Consider…: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
And now, I pray you, considerH7760+H3824 from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from beforeH2962 a stoneH68 was laidH7760 upon a stoneH68 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068:
ConsiderH7760+H3824 now from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the ninthH8671 month, even from the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the LORD'SH3068 templeH1964 was laid, considerH7760+H3824 it.
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}
In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 the prophetH5030 HaggaiH2292, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of}
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
And againH8145 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto HaggaiH2292 in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, sayingH559,
Then ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, with all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971, obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, as the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him, and the peopleH5971 did fearH3372 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
Then ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, with all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971, obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, as the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him, and the peopleH5971 did fearH3372 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
Then spakeH559 HaggaiH2292 the LORD'SH3068 messengerH4397 in the LORD'SH3068 messageH4400 unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and the spiritH7307 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and the spiritH7307 of all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971; and they cameH935 and didH6213 workH4399 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, their GodH430,
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AskH7592 now the priestsH3548 concerning the lawH8451, sayingH559,
If oneH376 bearH5375 holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garmentH899, and with his skirtH3671 do touchH5060 breadH3899, or pottageH5138, or wineH3196, or oilH8081, or any meatH3978, shall it be holyH6942? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, No.
Then saidH559 HaggaiH2292, If one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060 any of these, shall it be uncleanH2930? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It shall be uncleanH2930.
Then answeredH6030 HaggaiH2292, and saidH559, So is this peopleH5971, and so is this nationH1471 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and so is every workH4639 of their handsH3027; and that which they offerH7126 there is uncleanH2931.
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}
The silverH3701 is mine, and the goldH2091 is mine, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Yet now be strongH2388, O ZerubbabelH2216, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and be strongH2388, O JoshuaH3091, sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548; and be strongH2388, all ye peopleH5971 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and workH6213: for I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
