American Standard Version
1Now in the first yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that the wordH1697 of Jehovah by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 might be accomplished, Jehovah stirredH5782 up the spiritH7307 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, so that he made a proclamationH6963 throughout all his kingdomH4438, andputH3615 italsoH1571 in writing, sayingH559, 2ThusH3541 saith CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, All the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 hath Jehovah, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, givenH5414 me; and he hath charged me to buildH1129 him a houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063. 3Whosoever there is among you of all his peopleH5971, his GodH430 beH1961 with him, and let him goH5927 up to JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063, and buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 (he is GodH430), which is in JerusalemH3389. 4And whosoever is leftH7604, in any placeH4725 whereH834 he sojourneth, let the menH376 of his placeH4725 help him with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill-offering for the houseH1004 of GodH430 which is in JerusalemH3389.
5Then roseH6965 up the headsH7218 of fathers’H1housesH1004of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, even all whose spiritH7307 GodH430 had stirredH5782 to goH5927 up to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Jehovah which is in JerusalemH3389. 6And all they that were roundH5439 about them strengthenedH2388 their handsH3027 with vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, with goldH2091, with goods, and with beasts, and with preciousH4030 things, besides all that was willingly offeredH5068. 7Also CyrusH3566 the kingH4428 broughtH3318 forthH3318 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, which NebuchadnezzarH5019 had broughtH3318 forthH3318 out of JerusalemH3389, and had putH5414 in the houseH1004 of his godsH430; 8even those did CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 bringH3318 forthH3318 by the handH3027 of MithredathH4990 the treasurer, and numbered them unto SheshbazzarH8339, the princeH5387 of JudahH3063. 9And this is the numberH4557 of them: thirtyH7970 platters of goldH2091, a thousandH505 platters of silverH3701, nineH8672 and twentyH6242 knives, 10thirtyH7970 bowlsH3713 of goldH2091, silverH3701 bowlsH3713 of a secondH4932 sort fourH702 hundredH3967 and tenH6235, and otherH312 vesselsH3627 a thousandH505. 11All the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701 were fiveH2568 thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967. All these did SheshbazzarH8339 bringH5927 up, when they of the captivity were broughtH5927 up from BabylonH894 unto JerusalemH3389.
