Darby Bible
1And 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, and he made a proclamationH6963 throughout his kingdomH4438, and alsoH1571 in writing, sayingH559, 2ThusH3541 saysH559 CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539: All the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 has Jehovah the 1GodH430 of the heavensH8064 givenH5414 to me, and he has charged me to buildH1129 him a houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063. 3Whosoever there is among you of all his peopleH5971, his 2GodH430 beH1961 with him, and let him goH5927 up to JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063, and buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Jehovah the 3GodH430 of IsraelH3478 — he is 4GodH430 — which is at JerusalemH3389. 4And whosoever remainsH7604 in any placeH4725 whereH834 he sojourns, let the menH376 of his placeH4725 help him with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the voluntary offeringH5071 for the houseH1004 of 5GodH430 which is at JerusalemH3389. 5And the chiefH7218 fathersH1 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 roseH6965 up, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, even all those whose spiritH7307 6GodH430 had stirredH5782, to goH5927 up to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Jehovah which is at JerusalemH3389. 6And all they that were about them strengthenedH2388 their handsH3027 with articlesH3627 of silverH3701, with goldH2091, with goods, and with beasts, and with preciousH4030 things, besides all that was willingly offeredH5068. 7And kingH4428 CyrusH3566 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 7godH430. 8And CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 broughtH3318 them forthH3318 by the handH3027 of MithredathH4990 the treasurer, who countedH5608 them out to SheshbazzarH8339 the princeH5387 of JudahH3063. 9And this is the numberH4557 of them: thirtyH7970 chargers of goldH2091, a thousandH505 chargers of silverH3701, nine-and-twenty knives, 10thirtyH7970 basons of goldH2091, silverH3701 basons of a secondH4932 [sort] fourH702 hundredH3967 and tenH6235, [and] otherH312 vesselsH3627 a thousandH505. 11All the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701 were fiveH2568 thousandH505 fourH702 hundredH3967. The whole did SheshbazzarH8339 bringH5927 up, when they of the captivity were broughtH5927 up from BabylonH894 to JerusalemH3389.
