1 ¶ Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of YAHUAH by
the mouth of Yeremiah might be fulfilled, YAHUAH 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,
2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, YAHUAH YAHUAH of heaven hath given me all the
kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Yerusalem,
which [is] in Judah.
3 Who [is there] among you of all his people? his YAHUAH be with him, and let
him go up to Yerusalem, which [is] in Judah, and build the house of YAHUAH
YAHUAH of YisraYAH, (he [is] the YAHUAH,) which [is] in Yerusalem.
4 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 YAHUAH that [is] in Yerusalem.
5 ¶ Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the
priests, and the Levites, with all [them] whose spirit YAHUAH had raised, to go
up to build the house of YAHUAH which [is] in Yerusalem.
6 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.
7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of YAHUAH, which
Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Yerusalem, and had put them in the house
of his gods;
8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the
treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 And this [is] the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers
of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort] four hundred and ten,
[and] other vessels a thousand.
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver [were] five thousand and four hundred.
All [these] did Sheshbazzar bring up with [them of] the captivity that were
brought up from Babylon unto Yerusalem.
