1 H5029 Then the prophets H2292 , Haggai H5029 the prophet H2148 , and Zechariah H1247 the son H5714 of Iddo H5013 [H8724] , prophesied H5922 to H3062 the Jews H3061 that were in Judah H3390 and Jerusalem H8036 in the name H426 of the God H3479 of Israel H5922 , even to them.

2 H116 Then H6966 [H8754] rose up H2217 Zerubbabel H1247 the son H7598 of Shealtiel H3443 , and Jeshua H1247 the son H3136 of Jozadak H8271 [H8745] , and began H1124 [H8749] to build H1005 the house H426 of God H3390 which is at Jerusalem H5974 : and with them H5029 were the prophets H426 of God H5583 [H8683] helping them.

3 H2166 At the same time H858 [H8754] came [H8674] to them Tatnai H6347 , governor H5675 on this side H5103 of the river H8370 , and Shetharboznai H3675 , and their companions H560 [H8750] , and said H3652 thus H5922 to them H4479 , Who H7761 H2942 [H8754] hath commanded H1124 [H8749] you to build H1836 this H1005 house H3635 [H8805] , and to make up H1836 this H846 wall?

4 H116 Then H560 [H8754] said H3660 we to them after this manner H4479 , What H581 are H8036 the names H1400 of the men H1124 [H8750] that make H1836 this H1147 building?

5 H5870 But the eye H426 of their God H1934 [H8754] was H5922 upon H7868 [H8750] the elders H3062 of the Jews H3809 , that they could not H989 0 cause H1994 them H989 [H8754] to cease H5705 , till H2941 the matter H1946 [H8748] came H1868 to Darius H116 : and then H8421 [H8681] they returned answer H5407 by letter H5922 concerning H1836 this matter.

6 H6573 The copy H104 of the letter [H8674] that Tatnai H6347 , governor H5675 on this side H5103 of the river H8370 , and Shetharboznai H3675 , and his companions H671 the Apharsachites H5675 , who were on this side H5103 of the river H7972 [H8754] , sent H5922 to H1868 Darius H4430 the king:

7 H7972 [H8754] They sent H6600 a letter H5922 to H1459 him, in which H3790 [H8752] was written H1836 thus H1868 ; To Darius H4430 the king H3606 , all H8001 peace.

8 H1934 H3046 [H8748] Be it known H4430 to the king H236 [H8754] , that we went H4083 into the province H3061 of Judea H1005 , to the house H7229 of the great H426 God H1124 [H8732] , which is built H1560 with great H69 stones H636 , and timber H7761 [H8727] is laid H3797 in the walls H1791 , and this H5673 work H5648 [H8727] proceedeth H629 quickly H6744 [H8683] , and prospereth H3028 in their hands.

9 H116 Then H7593 [H8754] we asked H479 those H7868 [H8750] elders H560 [H8754] , and said H3660 to them thus H4479 , Who H7761 H2942 [H8754] commanded H1124 [H8749] you to build H1836 this H1005 house H3635 [H8805] , and to finish H1836 these H846 walls?

10 H7593 [H8754] We asked H8036 their names H638 also H3046 [H8682] , to inform H3790 [H8748] thee, that we might write H8036 the names H1400 of the men H7217 that were the chief of them.

11 H3660 And thus H8421 [H8684] they returned H6600 us answer H560 [H8749] , saying H586 , We H1994 are H5649 the servants H426 of the God H8065 of heaven H772 and earth H1124 [H8750] , and build H1005 the house H1934 [H8754] that was H1124 [H8752] built H1836 these H7690 many H8140 years H6928 ago H7229 , which a great H4430 king H3479 of Israel H1124 [H8754] built H3635 [H8806] and set up.

12 H3861 But H4481 after H2 that our fathers H7265 0 had provoked H426 the God H8065 of heaven H7265 [H8684] to wrath H3052 [H8754] , he gave H1994 them H3028 into the hand H5020 of Nebuchadnezzar H4430 the king H895 of Babylon H3679 , the Chaldean H5642 [H8754] , who destroyed H1836 this H1005 house H1541 0 , and carried H5972 the people H1541 [H8684] away H895 into Babylon.

13 H1297 But H2298 in the first H8140 year H3567 of Cyrus H4430 the king H895 of Babylon H4430 the same king H3567 Cyrus H7761 [H8754] made H2942 a decree H1124 [H8749] to build H1836 this H1005 house H426 of God.

14 H3984 And the vessels H638 also H1768 of H1722 gold H3702 and silver H1005 of the house H426 of God H5020 , which Nebuchadnezzar H5312 [H8684] took H4481 out of H1965 the temple H3390 that was in Jerusalem H2987 [H8684] , and brought H1965 them into the temple H895 of Babylon H1994 , those H3567 did Cyrus H4430 the king H5312 [H8684] take H4481 out of H1965 the temple H895 of Babylon H3052 [H8753] , and they were delivered H8036 to one, whose name H8340 was Sheshbazzar H7761 [H8754] , whom he had made H6347 governor;

15 H560 [H8754] And said H5376 [H8747] to him, Take H412 these H3984 vessels H236 [H8747] , go H5182 [H8680] , carry H1994 them H1965 into the temple H3390 that is in Jerusalem H1005 , and let the house H426 of God H1124 [H8731] be built H5922 in H870 its place.

16 H116 Then H858 [H8754] came H1791 the same H8340 Sheshbazzar H3052 [H8754] , and laid H787 the foundation H1005 of the house H426 of God H3390 which is in Jerusalem H4481 : and since H116 that time H5705 even until H3705 now H1124 [H8732] hath it been in building H3809 , and yet it is not H8000 [H8752] finished.

17 H3705 Now H2006 therefore, if H2869 it seemeth good H5922 to H4430 the king H1240 [H8721] , let there be search H4430 made in the king's H1596 treasure H1005 house H8536 , which is there H895 at Babylon H2006 , whether H383 it is H2942 so, that a decree H7761 [H8752] was made H4481 by H3567 Cyrus H4430 the king H1124 [H8749] to build H1791 this H1005 house H426 of God H3390 at Jerusalem H4430 , and let the king H7972 [H8748] send H7470 his pleasure H5922 to us concerning H1836 this matter.
