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 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 sons
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
Now this is the copy
H5406
of the letter
H4428
that the king
H783
Artaxerxes
H5414 [H8804]
gave
H5830
to Ezra
H3548
the priest,
H5608 [H8802]
the scribe,
H5608 [H8802]
even a scribe
H1697
of the words
H4687
of the commandments
H3068
of the LORD,
H2706
and of his statutes
H3478
to Israel.
12
H783
Artaxerxes,
H4430
king
H4430
of kings,
H5831
to Ezra
H3549
the priest,
H5613
a scribe
H1882
of the law
H426
of the God
H8065
of heaven,
H1585 [H8752]
perfect
H3706
peace, and now.
13
H4481
I
H7761 [H8752]
make
H2942
a decree,
H3606
that all
H4481
they of
H5972
the people
H3479
of Israel,
H3549
and of his priests
H3879
and Levites,
H4437
in my realm,
H5069 [H8723]
who are disposed of their own freewill
H1946 [H8749]
to go
H3390
to Jerusalem,
H1946 [H8748]
go
H5974
with thee.
14
H1768 H6903
Forasmuch
H3606
as
H7972 [H8750]
thou art sent
H4481 H6925
by
H4430
the king,
H7655
and by his seven
H3272 [H8750]
counsellors,
H1240 [H8742]
to enquire
H5922
concerning
H3061
Judah
H3390
and Jerusalem,
H1882
according to the law
H426
of thy God
H3028
which is in thy hand;
15
H2987 [H8682]
And to carry
H3702
the silver
H1722
and gold,
H4430
which the king
H3272 [H8750]
and his counsellors
H5069 [H8724]
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 [H8681]
that thou canst find
H3606
in all
H4083
the province
H895
of Babylon,
H5974
with
H5069 [H8722]
the freewill offering
H5972
of the people,
H3549
and of the priests,
H5069 [H8723]
offering willingly
H1005
for the house
H426
of their God
H3390
which is in Jerusalem:
17
H3606 H6903
That
H7066 [H8748]
thou mayest buy
H629
speedily
H1836
with this
H3702
money
H8450
bulls,
H1798
rams,
H563
lambs,
H4504
with their meat offerings
H5261
and their drink offerings,
H7127 [H8741]
and offer
H1994
them
H5922
upon
H4056
the altar
H1005
of the house
H426
of your God
H3390
which is in Jerusalem.
18
H4101 H1768
And whatever
H3191 [H8748]
shall seem good
H5922
to thee, and to
H252
thy brethren,
H5648 [H8749]
to do
H7606
with the rest
H3702
of the silver
H1722
and gold,
H5648 [H8748]
that do
H7470
after the will
H426
of your God.
19
H3984
The vessels
H3052 [H8727]
also that are given
H6402
thee for the service
H1005
of the house
H426
of thy God,
H8000 [H8680]
those restore
H6925
thou before
H426
the God
H3390
of Jerusalem.
20
H7606
And whatever more
H2819
shall be needful
H1005
for the house
H426
of thy God,
H5308 [H8748]
which thou shalt have occasion
H5415 [H8749]
to bestow,
H5415 [H8748]
bestow
H4481
it out of
H4430
the king's
H1596
treasure
H1005
house.
21
H4481
And I,
H576
even I
H783
Artaxerxes
H4430
the king,
H7761 [H8752]
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 [H8748]
shall require
H5648 [H8725]
of you, it be done
H629
speedily,
22
H5705
To
H3969
an hundred
H3604
talents
H3702
of silver,
H3969
and to an hundred
H3734
measures
H2591
of wheat,
H3969
and to an hundred
H1325
baths
H2562
of wine,
H3969
and to an hundred
H1325
baths
H4887
of oil,
H4416
and salt
H3809
without
H3792
prescribing how much.
23
H3606
Whatever
H2941 H4481
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
and his sons?
24
H3046 [H8683]
Also we inform
H3606
you, that concerning any
H3549
of the priests
H3879
and Levites,
H2171
singers,
H8652
porters,
H5412
Nethinims,
H6399 [H8750]
or ministers
H1836
of this
H1005
house
H426
of God,
H3809
it shall not
H7990
be lawful
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 at the face of
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.
