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.
