Now after
H1697
these things,
H4438
in the reign
H783
of Artaxerxes
H4428
king
H6539
of Persia,
H5830
Ezra
H1121
the son
H8304
of Seraiah,
H1121
the son
H5838
of Azariah,
H1121
the son
H2518
of Hilkiah,
5
H1121
the son
H50
of Abishua,
H1121
the son
H6372
of Phinehas,
H1121
the son
H499
of Eleazar,
H1121
the son
H175
of Aaron
H7218
the chief
H3548
priest;
6
H5830
this man
H5927
went up
H894
from Babylon:
H4106
and he was a ready
H5608
scribe
H8451
in the law
H4872
of Moses,
H3068
which Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H5414
had given;
H4428
and the king
H5414
granted
H1246
him all his request,
H3027
according to the hand
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
his God on him.
7
H5927
There went up
H1121
some of the children
H3478
of Israel,
H3548
and of the priests,
H3881
and the Levites,
H7891
and the singers,
H7778
and the porters,
H5411
and the Nethinim,
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H7651
in the seventh
H8141
year
H783
of Artaxerxes
H4428
the king.
8
H935
He came
H3389
to Jerusalem
H2549
in the fifth
H2320
month,
H7637
which was in the seventh
H8141
year
H4428
of the king.
9
H259
For on the first
H7223
day of the first
H2320
month
H3246
began
H4609
he to go up
H894
from Babylon;
H259
and on the first
H2549
day of the fifth
H2320
month
H935
came
H3389
he to Jerusalem,
H2896
according to the good
H3027
hand
H430
of his God on him.
10
H5830
For he
H3559
had set
H3824
his heart
H1875
to seek
H8451
the law
H3068
of Yahweh,
H6213
and to do
H3925
it, and to teach
H3478
in Israel
H2706
statutes
H4941
and ordinances.
11
H6572
Now this is the copy
H5406
of the letter
H4428
that the king
H783
Artaxerxes
H5414
gave
H5830
to Ezra
H3548
the priest,
H5608
the scribe,
H5608
even the scribe
H1697
of the words
H4687
of the commandments
H3068
of Yahweh,
H2706
and of his statutes
H3478
to Israel:
12
H783
Artaxerxes,
H4430
king
H4430
of kings,
H5831
to Ezra
H3549
the priest,
H5613
the scribe
H1882
of the law
H426
of the God
H8065
of heaven,
H1585
perfect
H3706
and so forth.
13
H4481
I
H7761
make
H2942
a decree,
H3606
that all
H4481
those of
H5972
the people
H3479
of Israel,
H3549
and their priests
H3879
and the Levites,
H4437
in my realm,
H5069
who are minded of their own free will
H1946
to go to
H3390
Jerusalem,
H1946
go
H5974
with you.
14
H1768
Because
H3606
you are
H7972
sent
H4481
of
H4430
the king
H7655
and his seven
H3272
counselors,
H1240
to inquire
H5922
concerning
H3061
Judah
H3390
and Jerusalem,
H1882
according to the law
H426
of your God
H3028
which is in your hand,
15
H2987
and to carry
H3702
the silver
H1722
and gold,
H4430
which the king
H3272
and his counselors
H5069
have freely offered
H426
to the God
H3479
of Israel,
H1768
whose
H4907
habitation
H3390
is in Jerusalem,
16
H3606
and all
H3702
the silver
H1722
and gold
H7912
that you shall find
H3606
in all
H4083
the province
H895
of Babylon,
H5974
with
H5069
the freewill offering
H5972
of the people,
H3549
and of the priests,
H5069
offering willingly
H1005
for the house
H426
of their God
H3390
which is in Jerusalem;
17
H3606
therefore
H629
you shall with all diligence
H7066
buy
H1836
with this
H3702
money
H8450
bulls,
H1798
rams,
H563
lambs,
H4504
with their meal offerings
H5261
and their drink offerings,
H7127
and shall offer
H1994
them
H5922
on
H4056
the altar
H1005
of the house
H426
of your God
H3390
which is in Jerusalem.
18
H4101
Whatever
H3191
shall seem good
H5922
to you and to
H252
your brothers
H5648
to do
H7606
with the rest
H3702
of the silver
H1722
and the gold,
H5648
do
H7470
that after the will
H426
of your God.
19
H3984
The vessels
H3052
that are given
H6402
to you for the service
H1005
of the house
H426
of your God,
H8000
deliver
H6925
before
H426
the God
H3390
of Jerusalem.
20
H7606
Whatever more
H2819
shall be needful
H1005
for the house
H426
of your God,
H5308
which you shall have occasion
H5415
to bestow,
H5415
bestow
H4481
it out of
H4430
the king's
H1596
treasure
H1005
house.
21
H4481
I,
H4481
even I
H783
Artaxerxes
H4430
the king,
H7761
do make
H2942
a decree
H3606
to all
H1490
the treasurers
H5675
who are beyond
H5103
the River,
H5831
that whatever Ezra
H3549
the priest,
H5613
the scribe
H1882
of the law
H426
of the God
H8065
of heaven,
H7593
shall require
H5648
of you, it be done
H629
with all diligence,
22
H5705
to
H3969
one hundred
H3604
talents
H3702
of silver,
H3969
and to one hundred
H3734
measures
H2591
of wheat,
H3969
and to one hundred
H1325
baths
H2562
of wine,
H3969
and to one hundred
H1325
baths
H4887
of oil,
H4416
and salt
H3809
without
H3792
prescribing how much.
23
H3606
Whatever
H2941
is commanded by
H426
the God
H8065
of heaven,
H5648
let it be done
H149
exactly
H1005
for the house
H426
of the God
H8065
of heaven;
H1768
for
H4101
why
H1934
should there be
H7109
wrath
H5922
against
H4437
the realm
H4430
of the king
H1123
and his sons?
24
H3046
Also we inform
H3606
you, that touching any
H3549
of the priests
H3879
and Levites,
H2171
the singers,
H8652
porters,
H5412
Nethinim,
H6399
or servants
H1836
of this
H1005
house
H426
of God,
H3809
it shall not
H7990
be lawful
H7412
to impose
H1093
tribute,
H1983
custom,
H4061
or toll,
H5922
on them.
25
H607
You,
H5831
Ezra,
H2452
after the wisdom
H426
of your God
H3028
who is in your hand,
H4483
appoint
H8200
magistrates
H1782
and judges,
H1934
who may judge
H3606
all
H5972
the people
H5675
who are beyond
H5103
the River,
H3606
all
H3046
such as know
H1882
the laws
H426
of your God;
H3046
and teach
H3809
him who doesn't
H3046
know them.
26
H3606
Whoever
H3809
will not
H1934
do
H1882
the law
H426
of your God,
H1882
and the law
H4430
of the king,
H1780
let judgment
H1934
be
H5648
executed
H4481
on him
H629
with all diligence,
H2006
whether
H4193
it be to death,
H2006
or
H8332
to banishment,
H2006
or
H6065
to confiscation
H5232
of goods,
H613
or to imprisonment.
27
H1288
Blessed
H3068
be Yahweh,
H430
the God
H1
of our fathers,
H5414
who has put
H4428
such a thing as this in the king's
H3820
heart,
H6286
to beautify
H1004
the house
H3068
of Yahweh
H3389
which is in Jerusalem;
28
H5186
and has extended
H2617
loving kindness
H6440
to me before
H4428
the king,
H3289
and his counselors,
H4428
and before all the king's
H1368
mighty
H8269
princes.
H2388
I was strengthened
H3027
according to the hand
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
my God
H6908
on me, and I gathered together
H3478
out of Israel
H7218
chief men
H5927
to go up with me.
