6THEN KING Darius [I] decreed, and a search was made in Babylonia in the house where the treasured records were stored.H116H1868H4430H7761H2942H1240H1005H5609H8536H1596H5182H895 2And at Ecbatana in the capital in the province of Media, a scroll was found on which this was recorded:H7912H307H1001H4083H4076H2298H4040H1459H1799H3652H3790 3In the first year of King Cyrus, [he] made a decree: Concerning the house of God in Jerusalem, let the house, the place where they offer sacrifices, be built, and let its foundations be strongly laid, its height and its breadth each 60 cubits,H2298H8140H3567H4430H3567H4430H7761H2942H1005H426H3390H1005H1124H870H1684H1685H787H5446H7314H8361H521H6613H8361H521 4With three courses of great stones and one course of new timber. Let the cost be paid from the royal treasury.H8532H5073H1560H69H5073H2323H636H5313H3052H4481H4430H1005 5Also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought back to the temple in Jerusalem, each put in its place in the house of God.H638H1722H3702H3984H1005H426H5020H5312H4481H1965H3390H2987H895H8421H1946H1965H3390H870H5182H1005H426 6Now therefore, Tattenai, governor of the province [west of] the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your associates, the Apharsachites who are [west of] the River, keep far away from there.H3705H8674H6347H5675H5103H8370H3675H671H5675H5103H1934H7352H4481H8536 7Leave the work on this house of God alone; let the governor and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site.H5673H1791H1005H426H7662H6347H3062H7868H3062H1124H1791H1005H426H5922H870 8Moreover, I make a decree as to what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the rebuilding of this house of God: the cost is to be paid in full to these men at once from the king's revenue, the tribute of the province [west of] the River, that they may not be hindered.H4481H7761H2942H3964H5648H5974H7868H479H3062H1124H1791H1005H426H4430H5232H1768H4061H5675H5103H629H5313H1934H3052H479H1400H3809H989 9And all they need, including young bulls, rams, and lambs for the burnt offerings to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests at Jerusalem, let it be given them each day without fail,H4101H2818H1123H8450H1798H563H5928H426H8065H2591H4416H2562H4887H3983H3549H3390H1934H3052H3118H3118H3809H7960 10That they may offer pleasing sacrifices to the God of heaven and pray for the life of the king and his sons.H1934H7127H5208H426H8065H6739H2417H4430H1123 11Also I make a decree that whoever shall change {or} infringe on this order, let a beam be pulled from his house and erected; then let him be fastened to it, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.H4481H7761H2942H3606H606H8133H1836H6600H636H5256H4481H1005H2211H4223H5922H1005H5648H5122H5922H1836 12May the God Who has caused His Name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who put forth their hands to alter this or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I Darius make a decree; let it be executed speedily {and} exactly.H426H8036H7932H8536H4049H3606H4430H5972H7972H3028H8133H2255H1791H1005H426H3390H576H1868H7761H2942H5648H629 13Then Tattenai, governor of the province this side of the River, with Shethar-bozenai and their associates, diligently did what King Darius had decreed.H116H8674H6347H5675H5103H8370H3675H6903H1868H4430H7972H3660H5648H629 14And the elders of the Jews built and prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They finished their building as commanded by the God of Israel and by decree of Cyrus and Darius and Artaxerxes king of Persia.H7868H3062H1124H6744H5017H2292H5029H2148H1247H5714H1124H3635H4481H2941H426H3479H2942H3567H1868H783H4430H6540 15And this house was finished on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.H1836H1005H3319H5705H8532H3118H3393H144H1932H8353H8140H4437H1868H4430 16And the Israelites--the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the returned exiles--celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy.H1123H3479H3549H3879H7606H1123H1547H5648H2597H1836H1005H426H2305 17They offered at the dedication of this house of God 100 young bulls, 200 rams, 400 lambs, and, for a sin offering for all Israel, 12 he-goats, according to the number of Israel's tribes.H7127H2597H1836H1005H426H3969H8450H3969H1798H703H3969H563H2402H2409H5922H3606H3479H8648H6236H6841H5796H4510H7625H3479 18And they set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their courses for the service of God at Jerusalem, as it is written in the Book of Moses.H6966H3549H6392H3879H4255H5922H5673H426H3390H3792H5609H4873 19The returned exiles kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.H1121H1473H6213H6453H702H6240H7223H2320 20For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were clean. So they killed the Passover lamb for all the returned exiles, for their brother priests, and for themselves.H3548H3881H2891H259H2889H7819H6453H1121H1473H251H3548 21It was eaten by the Israelites who had returned from exile and by all who had joined them and separated themselves from the pollutions of the peoples of the land to seek the Lord, the God of Israel.H1121H3478H7725H1473H914H2932H1471H776H1875H3068H430H3478H398 22They kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with joy, for the Lord had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria [referring to Darius king of Persia] to them, so that he strengthened their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.H6213H2282H4682H7651H3117H8057H3068H8055H5437H3820H4428H804H2388H3027H4399H1004H430H430H3478
