11ThusH3660 they 1answeredH8421H6600 us, sayingH560, ‘We are the servantsH5649 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 and earthH772 and are rebuildingH1124 the templeH1005 that was builtH1124 manyH7690 yearsH8140 agoH6928, 2which a greatH7229 kingH4430 of IsraelH3479 builtH1124 and finishedH3635.

12But 3becauseH4481H1768 our fathersH2 had provokedH7265 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 to wrathH7265, 4He gaveH3052 them into the handH3028 of NebuchadnezzarH5020 kingH4430 of BabylonH895, the ChaldeanH3779, who destroyedH5642 thisH1836 templeH1005 and deportedH1541 the peopleH5972 to BabylonH895.

13HoweverH1297, 5in the firstH2298 yearH8140 of CyrusH3567 kingH4430 of BabylonH895, KingH4430 CyrusH3567 6issuedH7761 a decreeH2942 to rebuildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426.

14AlsoH638 7the goldH1722 and silverH3702 utensilsH3984 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 whichH1768 NebuchadnezzarH5020 had takenH5312 from the templeH1965 8in JerusalemH3390, and broughtH2987 them to the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, theseH1994 KingH4430 CyrusH3567 tookH5312 from the templeH1965 of BabylonH895 and they were givenH3052 to one 9whose nameH8036 was SheshbazzarH8340, whomH1768 he had appointedH7761 governorH6347.

15He saidH560 to him, “TakeH5376 theseH429 utensilsH3984, goH236 and depositH5182 them in the templeH1965 10in JerusalemH3390 and let the houseH1005 of GodH426 be rebuiltH1124 in its placeH870.”
