First Book of Esdras
chapter 1
1
In the
first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord by the
mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus
king of the Persians: and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom,
and in writing also, saying:
2 Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: The Lord the
God of heaven hath given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he hath
charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
3 Who is there among you of all his people? His God be
with him. Let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Jndert, and build the house
of the Lord the God of Israel: he is the God that is in Jerusalem.
4 And let all the restin all places wheresoever they
dwell, help him every man from his place. with silver and gold, and goods, and
cattle, besides that which they offer freely to the temple of God, which is in
Jerusalem.
5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Juda and
Benjamin, and the priests, and Levites, and every one whose spirit God had
raised up, to go up to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem.
6 And all they that were round about, helped their
hands with vessels of silver, and gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with
furniture, besides what they had offered on their own accord.
7 And king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the
temple of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had taken from Jerusalem, and had put
them in the temple of his god.
8 Now Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the
hand of Mithridates the son of Gazabar, and numbered them to Sassabasar the
prince of Juda.
9 And this is the number of them: thirty bowls of gold,
a thousand bowls of silver, nine and twenty knives, thirty cups of gold,
10 Silver cups of a second sort, four hundred and ten:
other vessels a thousand.
11 All the vessels of gold and silver, five thousand
four hundred: all these Sassabasar brought with them that came up from the
captivity of Babylon to Jerusalem.
