Now in the first year
of Cyrus
king
of Persia
, that the word
of the LORD
by the mouth
of Jeremiah
might be fulfilled
, the LORD
stirred up
the spirit
of Cyrus
king
of Persia
, that he made a proclamation
throughout all his kingdom
, and put it also in writing
, saying
,
Thus saith Cyrus
king
of Persia
, The LORD
God
of heaven
hath given
me all the kingdoms
of the earth
; and he hath charged
me to build
him an house
at Jerusalem
, which is in Judah
.
Who is there among you of all his people? his God
be with him, and let him go up
to Jerusalem
, which is in Judah
, and build
the house
of the LORD
God
of Israel
, (he is the God
,) which is in Jerusalem
.
And whosoever remaineth in any place
where he sojourneth
, let the men
of his place
help
him with silver
, and with gold
, and with goods
, and with beasts
, beside the freewill offering
for the house
of God
that is in Jerusalem
.
Then rose up the chief
of the fathers
of Judah
and Benjamin
, and the priests
, and the Levites
, with all them whose spirit
God
had raised
, to go up
to build
the house
of the LORD
which is in Jerusalem
.
And all they that were about them strengthened
their hands
with vessels
of silver
, with gold
, with goods
, and with beasts
, and with precious things
, beside all that was willingly offered
.
Also Cyrus the king
brought forth
the vessels
of the house
of the LORD
, which Nebuchadnezzar
had brought forth
out of Jerusalem
, and had put
them in the house
of his gods
;
Even those did Cyrus king
of Persia
bring forth
by the hand
of Mithredath
the treasurer
, and numbered
them unto Sheshbazzar
, the prince
of Judah
.
And this is the number of them: thirty
chargers
of gold
, a thousand
chargers
of silver
, nine
and twenty
knives
,
Thirty basons
of gold
, silver
basons
of a second
sort four
hundred
and ten
, and other
vessels
a thousand
.
All the vessels of gold
and of silver
were five
thousand
and four
hundred
. All these did Sheshbazzar
bring up
with them of the captivity
that were brought up
from Babylon
unto Jerusalem
.
