11And thusH3660 they returnedH8421 us answerH6600, sayingH560, WeH586 areH1994 the servantsH5649 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 and earthH772, and buildH1124 the houseH1005 that wasH1934 buildedH1124 theseH1836 manyH7690 yearsH8140 agoH6928, which a greatH7229 kingH4430 of IsraelH3479 buildedH1124 and set upH3635.
12ButH3861 afterH4481 that our fathersH2 had provokedH7265 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 unto wrathH7265, he gaveH3052 themH1994 into the handH3028 of NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895, the ChaldeanH3679, who destroyedH5642 thisH1836 houseH1005, and carriedH1541 the peopleH5972 awayH1541 into BabylonH895.
13ButH1297 in the firstH2298 yearH8140 of CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895 the same kingH4430 CyrusH3567 madeH7761 a decreeH2942 to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426.
14And the vesselsH3984 alsoH638 ofH1768 goldH1722 and silverH3702 of the houseH1005 of GodH426, which NebuchadnezzarH5020 tookH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 that was in JerusalemH3390, and broughtH2987 them into the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, thoseH1994 did CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 takeH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, and they were deliveredH3052 unto one, whose nameH8036 was SheshbazzarH8340, whom he had madeH7761 governorH6347;1
15And saidH560 unto him, TakeH5376 theseH412 vesselsH3984, goH236, carryH5182 themH1994 into the templeH1965 that is in JerusalemH3390, and let the houseH1005 of GodH426 be buildedH1124 inH5922 his placeH870.
