Ezra 1 - Interlinear Bible
Cyrus's Proclamation
1
Now in the
first year of
Cyrus king of
Persia, in order to
fulfill the
word of the
LORD by the
mouth of
Jeremiah, the
LORD stirred up the
spirit of
Cyrus king of
Persia, so that he
sent a
proclamation throughout
all his
kingdom, and
also put it in
writing,
saying :
3
'Whoever there is among you of
all His
people, may his
God be with him! Let him
go up to
Jerusalem which is in
Judah and
rebuild the
house of the
LORD, the
God of
Israel ; He is the
God who is in
Jerusalem.

Then the
heads of
fathers' households of
Judah and
Benjamin and the
priests and the
Levites arose, even
everyone whose
spirit God had
stirred to
go up and
rebuild the
house of the
LORD which is in
Jerusalem.
6
All those
about them
encouraged * them with
articles of
silver, with
gold, with
goods, with
cattle and with
valuables,
aside from
all that was
given as a
freewill offering.
8
and
Cyrus,
king of
Persia, had them
brought out by the
hand of
Mithredath the
treasurer, and he
counted them out to
Sheshbazzar, the
prince of
Judah.
