Ezra - Chapter 1 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 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 {cf15I put it} also in writing, saying,
  • 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 {cf15I is} in Judah.
  • 3. Who {cf15I is there} among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which {cf15I is} in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he {cf15I is} the God,) which {cf15I is} in Jerusalem.
  • 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 {cf15I is} in Jerusalem.
  • 5. Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all {cf15I them} whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which {cf15I is} in Jerusalem.
  • 6. And all they that {cf15I were} about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all {cf15I that} was willingly offered.
  • 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;
  • 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I sort} four hundred and ten, {cf15I and} other vessels a thousand.
  • 11. All the vessels of gold and of silver {cf15I were} five thousand and four hundred. All {cf15I these} did Sheshbazzar bring up with {cf15I them of} the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
