Now in the
first year of
Cyrus king of
Persia, that the
word of the
LORD by the
mouth of
Jeremiah might be
fulfilled, the
LORD stirred
up the
spirit of
Cyrus king of
Persia, that he made a
proclamation* throughout all his
kingdom, and put it also in
writing, saying,
h'wh.y -r;b.D tw{l.kil s;r'P .$,l,m v,rw{k.l t;x;a t;n.vib.W ? v,r{K ;x.Wr -t,a h'wh.y ryi[eh h'y.m.rIy yiPim ? w{t.Wk.l;m -l'k.B lw{q -r,b][;Y;w s;r'P -.k,l,m ? r{mael b'T.kim.B -m;g.w

Thus
saith Cyrus king of
Persia, The
LORD God of
heaven hath
given me all the
kingdoms of the
earth; and he hath
charged me to
build him an
house at
Jerusalem, which is in
Judah.

Who is there among you of all his
people? his
God be with him, and let him go
up to
Jerusalem, which is in
Judah, and
build the
house of the
LORD God of
Israel, (he is the God,) which is in
Jerusalem.

And whosoever
remaineth in any
place where he
sojourneth, let the
men of his
place help him with
silver, and with
gold, and with
goods, and with
beasts, beside the freewill
offering for the
house of
God that is in
Jerusalem.

Then rose
up the
chief of the
fathers of
Judah and
Benjamin, and the
priests, and the
Levites, with all them whose
spirit God had
raised, to go
up to
build the
house of the
LORD which is in
Jerusalem.

And all they that were
about them
strengthened their
hands with
vessels of
silver, with
gold, with
goods, and with
beasts, and with precious
things, beside all that was willingly
offered.
