EZR-1:1  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,

EZR-1:2  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.

EZR-1:3  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.

EZR-1:4  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 God that [is] in

Jerusalem.

EZR-1:5  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.

EZR-1:6  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.

EZR-1:7  Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the

LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put

them in the house of his gods;

EZR-1:8  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.

EZR-1:9  And this [is] the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand

chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,

EZR-1:10  Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second [sort] four hundred

and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.

EZR-1:11  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 Jerusalem.
