6
H5830
This Ezra
H5927 [H8804]
went
H894
from Babylon
H5608 [H8802]
; and he was a scribe
H4106
skilled
H8451
in the law
H4872
of Moses
H3068
, which the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5414 [H8804]
had given
H4428
: and the king
H5414 [H8799]
granted
H1246
him all his request
H3027
, according to the hand
H3068
of the LORD
H430
his God upon him.
7
H5927 [H8799]
And there went
H1121
some of the children
H3478
of Israel
H3548
, and of the priests
H3881
, and the Levites
H7891 [H8789]
, and the singers
H7778
, and the porters
H5411
, and the Nethinims
H3389
, to Jerusalem
H7651
, in the seventh
H8141
year
H783
of Artaxerxes
H4428
the king.
8
H935 [H8799]
And 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 upon the first
H7223
day of the first
H2320
month
H3246
he began
H4609
to go
H894
from Babylon
H259
, and on the first
H2549
day of the fifth
H2320
month
H935 [H8804]
he came
H3389
to Jerusalem
H2896
, according to the good
H3027
hand
H430
of his God upon him.
10
H5830
For Ezra
H3559 [H8689]
had prepared
H3824
his heart
H1875 [H8800]
to seek
H8451
the law
H3068
of the LORD
H6213 [H8800]
, and to do
H3925 [H8763]
it, and to teach
H3478
in Israel
H2706
statutes
H4941
and judgments.
11
H6572

the priest
H5608 [H8802]
, the scribe
H5608 [H8802]
, even a scribe
H1697

H4687
of the commandments
H3068

, and of his statutes

H1585 [H8752]

H3706

13
H4481
I

H4101 H1768
And whatever

H5922
to thee, and to

21
H4481
And I

H7761 [H8752]
, do make

H426
of the God
H8065

H7593 [H8748]
, shall require
H5648 [H8725]
of you, it be done
H629
speedily,
22
H5705
To
H3969
an hundred
H3604

23
H3606
Whatever

is commanded by
H426
the God
H8065
of heaven
H149
, let it be diligently
H5648 [H8725]
done
H1005
for the house
H426
of the God
H8065
of heaven
H1768
: for
H4101
why
H1934 [H8748]
should there be
H7109
wrath
H5922
against
H4437
the realm
H4430
of the king
H1123

24
H3046 [H8683]
Also we inform

H7412 [H8749]
to impose
H4061
toll
H1093
, tribute
H1983
, or custom
H5922
, upon them.
25
H607
And thou
H5831
, Ezra
H2452
, after the wisdom
H426
of thy God
H3028
, that is in thy hand
H4483 [H8740]
, set
H8200 [H8751]
magistrates
H1782
and judges
H1934 H1778 [H8748]
, who may judge
H3606
all
H5972
the people
H5675
that are beyond
H5103
the river
H3606
, all
H3046 [H8751]
such as know
H1882
the laws
H426
of thy God
H3046 [H8681]
; and teach
H3046 [H8751]
ye them that know
H3809
them not.
26
H3606
And whoever
H3809
will not
H1934 H5648 [H8748]
do
H1882
the law
H426
of thy God
H1882
, and the law
H4430
of the king
H1780
, let judgment
H1934 [H8748]
be
H5648 [H8727]
executed
H629
speedily
H4481
upon him
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 [H8803]
Blessed
H3068
be the LORD
H430
God
H1
of our fathers
H5414 [H8804]
, who hath put
H4428
such a thing as this in the king's
H3820
heart
H6286 [H8763]
, to beautify
H1004
the house
H3068
of the LORD
H3389
which is in Jerusalem:
28
H5186 [H8689]
And hath extended
H2617
mercy
H6440
to me before
H4428
the king
H3289 [H8802]
, and his counsellors
H4428
, and before all the king's
H1368
mighty
H8269
princes
H2388 [H8694]
. And I was strengthened
H3027
as the hand
H3068
of the LORD
H430
my God
H6908 [H8799]
was upon me, and I gathered
H3478
out of Israel
H7218
chief men
H5927 [H8800]
to go up with me.
