1Esdr 4:51
Yea, that there should be yearly given twenty talents to the
building of the temple, until the time that it were built;

1Esdr 4:52
And other ten talents yearly, to maintain the burnt offerings
upon the altar every day, as they had a commandment to offer
seventeen:

1Esdr 4:53
And that all they that went from Babylon to build the city
should have free liberty, as well they as their posterity, and

He wrote also concerning. the charges, and the priests'
vestments wherein they minister;

1Esdr 4:55
And likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be given them
until the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem
builded up.

1Esdr 4:56
And he commanded to give to all that kept the city pensions
and wages.

1Esdr 4:57

had set apart; and all that Cyrus had given in commandment, the
same charged he also to be done, and sent unto Jerusalem.

Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his face
to heaven toward Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven,

and thine is the glory, and I am thy servant.

1Esdr 4:60
Blessed art thou, who hast given me wisdom: for to thee I
give thanks, O Lord of our fathers.

1Esdr 4:61
And so he took the letters, and went out, and came unto
Babylon, and told it all his brethren.

1Esdr 4:62

given them freedom and liberty

1Esdr 4:63
To go up, and to build Jerusalem, and the temple which is
called by his name: and they feasted with instruments of musick
and gladness seven days.

1Esdr 5:1

according to their tribes, to go up with their wives and sons
and daughters, with their menservants and maidservants, and
their cattle.

1Esdr 5:2

brought them back to Jerusalem safely, and with musical
[instruments] tabrets and flutes.

together with them.

1Esdr 5:4

to their families among their tribes, after their several heads.

1Esdr 5:35
All the ministers of the temple, and the sons of the servants
of Solomon, were three hundred seventy and two.

1Esdr 5:36
These came up from Thermeleth and Thelersas, Charaathalar
leading them, and Aalar;

1Esdr 5:37
Neither could they shew their families, nor their stock, how
they were of Israel: the sons of Ladan, the son of Ban, the sons
of Necodan, six hundred fifty and two.

1Esdr 5:38
And of the priests that usurped the office of the priesthood,
and were not found: the sons of Obdia, the sons of Accoz, the
sons of Addus, who married Augia one of the daughters of
Barzelus, and was named after his name.

1Esdr 5:39
And when the description of the kindred of these men was
sought in the register, and was not found, they were removed
from executing the office of the priesthood:

1Esdr 5:40
For unto them said Nehemias and Atharias, that they should
not be partakers of the holy things, till there arose up an high
priest clothed with doctrine and truth.

1Esdr 5:41
So of Israel, from them of twelve years old and upward, they
were all in number forty thousand, beside menservants and
womenservants two thousand three hundred and sixty.

1Esdr 5:42
Their menservants and handmaids were seven thousand three
hundred forty and seven: the singing men and singing women, two
hundred forty and five:

1Esdr 5:43
Four hundred thirty and five camels, seven thousand thirty
and six horses, two hundred forty and five mules, five thousand
five hundred twenty and five beasts used to the yoke.

1Esdr 5:44
And certain of the chief of their families, when they came to
the temple of God that is in Jerusalem, vowed to set up the
house again in his own place according to their ability,

1Esdr 5:45
And to give into the holy treasury of the works a thousand
pounds of gold, five thousand of silver, and an hundred priestly
vestments.

1Esdr 5:46
And so dwelt the priests and the Levites and the people in
Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also and the porters;
and all Israel in their villages.

1Esdr 5:47
But when the seventh month was at hand, and when the children
of Israel were every man in his own place, they came all
together with one consent into the open place of the first gate
which is toward the east.

1Esdr 5:48
Then stood up Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren the
priests and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren,
and made ready the altar of the God of Israel,

1Esdr 5:49
To offer burnt sacrifices upon it, according as it is
expressly commanded in the book of Moses the man of God.

1Esdr 5:50
And there were gathered unto them out of the other nations of
the land, and they erected the altar upon his own place, because
all the nations of the land were at enmity with them, and
oppressed them; and they offered sacrifices according to the
time, and burnt offerings to the Lord both morning and evening.

1Esdr 5:51
Also they held the feast of tabernacles, as it is commanded
in the law, and offered sacrifices daily, as was meet:

1Esdr 5:52
And after that, the continual oblations, and the sacrifice of
the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of all holy feasts.

1Esdr 5:53
And all they that had made any vow to God began to offer
sacrifices to God from the first day of the seventh month,
although the temple of the Lord was not yet built.

1Esdr 5:54
And they gave unto the masons and carpenters money, meat, and
drink, with cheerfulness.

1Esdr 5:55
Unto them of Zidon also and Tyre they gave carrs, that they
should bring cedar trees from Libanus, which should be brought
by floats to the haven of Joppa, according as it was commanded
them by Cyrus king of the Persians.

1Esdr 5:56
And in the second year and second month after his coming to
the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zorobabel the son of
Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and
the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto
Jerusalem out of the captivity:

1Esdr 5:57
And they laid the foundation of the house of God in the first
day of the second month, in the second year after they were come
to Jewry and Jerusalem.

1Esdr 5:58
And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old over the
works of the Lord. Then stood up Jesus, and his sons and
brethren, and Cadmiel his brother, and the sons of Madiabun,
with the sons of Joda the son of Eliadun, with their sons and
brethren, all Levites, with one accord setters forward of the
business, labouring to advance the works in the house of God. So
the workmen built the temple of the Lord.

1Esdr 5:59
And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments with musical
instruments and trumpets; and the Levites the sons of Asaph had
cymbals,

1Esdr 5:60
Singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord,
according as David the king of Israel had ordained.

1Esdr 5:61
And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of the
Lord, because his mercy and glory is for ever in all Israel.

1Esdr 5:62
And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted with a loud
voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the Lord for the
rearing up of the house of the Lord.

1Esdr 5:63
Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their
families, the ancients who had seen the former house came to the
building of this with weeping and great crying.

1Esdr 5:64
But many with trumpets and joy shouted with loud voice,

1Esdr 5:65
Insomuch that the trumpets might not be heard for the weeping
of the people: yet the multitude sounded marvellously, so that
it was heard afar off.

1Esdr 5:66
Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin
heard it, they came to know what that noise of trumpets should
mean.

1Esdr 5:67
And they perceived that they that were of the captivity did
build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel.

1Esdr 5:68
So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of the
families, and said unto them, We will build together with you.

1Esdr 5:69
For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice
unto him from the days of Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians,
who brought us hither.

1Esdr 5:70
Then Zorobabel and Jesus and the chief of the families of
Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build
together an house unto the Lord our God.

1Esdr 5:71
We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel,
according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded us.

1Esdr 5:72
But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the inhabitants
of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered their building;

1Esdr 5:73
And by their secret plots, and popular persuasions and
commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the
time that king Cyrus lived: so they were hindered from building
for the space of two years, until the reign of Darius.

1Esdr 6:1
Now in the second year of the reign of Darius Aggeus and
Zacharias the son of Addo, the prophets, prophesied unto the
Jews in Jewry and Jerusalem in the name of the Lord God of
Israel, which was upon them.

1Esdr 6:2
Then stood up Zorobabel the son of Salatiel, and Jesus the
son of Josedec, and began to build the house of the Lord at
Jerusalem, the prophets of the Lord being with them, and helping
them.

1Esdr 6:3
At the same time came unto them Sisinnes the governor of
Syria and Phenice, with Sathrabuzanes and his companions, and
said unto them,

1Esdr 6:4
By whose appointment do ye build this house and this roof,
and perform all the other things? and who are the workmen that
perform these things?

1Esdr 6:5
Nevertheless the elders of the Jews obtained favour, because
the Lord had visited the captivity;

1Esdr 6:6
And they were not hindered from building, until such time as
signification was given unto Darius concerning them, and an
answer received.

1Esdr 6:7
The copy of the letters which Sisinnes, governor of Syria and
Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, rulers in
Syria and Phenice, wrote and sent unto Darius; To king Darius,
greeting:

1Esdr 6:8
Let all things be known unto our lord the king, that being
come into the country of Judea, and entered into the city of
Jerusalem we found in the city of Jerusalem the ancients of the
Jews that were of the captivity

1Esdr 6:9
Building an house unto the Lord, great and new, of hewn and
costly stones, and the timber already laid upon the walls.

1Esdr 6:10
And those works are done with great speed, and the work goeth
on prosperously in their hands, and with all glory and diligence
is it made.

1Esdr 6:11
Then asked we these elders, saying, By whose commandment
build ye this house, and lay the foundations of these works?

1Esdr 6:12
Therefore to the intent that we might give knowledge unto
thee by writing, we demanded of them who were the chief doers,
and we required of them the names in writing of their principal
men.

1Esdr 6:13
So they gave us this answer, We are the servants of the Lord
which made heaven and earth.

1Esdr 6:14
And as for this house, it was builded many years ago by a
king of Israel great and strong, and was finished.

1Esdr 6:15
But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, and sinned
against the Lord of Israel which is in heaven, he gave them over
into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, of the
Chaldees;

1Esdr 6:16
Who pulled down the house, and burned it, and carried away
the people captives unto Babylon.

1Esdr 6:17
But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over the
country of Babylon Cyrus the king wrote to build up this house.

1Esdr 6:18
And the holy vessels of gold and of silver, that
Nabuchodonosor had carried away out of the house at Jerusalem,
and had set them in his own temple those Cyrus the king brought
forth again out of the temple at Babylon, and they were
delivered to Zorobabel and to Sanabassarus the ruler,

1Esdr 6:19
With commandment that he should carry away the same vessels,
and put them in the temple at Jerusalem; and that the temple of
the Lord should be built in his place.

1Esdr 6:20
Then the same Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid the
foundations of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem; and from that
time to this being still a building, it is not yet fully ended.

1Esdr 6:21
Now therefore, if it seem good unto the king, let search be
made among the records of king Cyrus:

1Esdr 6:22
And if it be found that the building of the house of the Lord
at Jerusalem hath been done with the consent of king Cyrus, and
if our lord the king be so minded, let him signify unto us
thereof.

1Esdr 6:23
Then commanded king Darius to seek among the records at
Babylon: and so at Ecbatane the palace, which is in the country
of Media, there was found a roll wherein these things were
recorded.

1Esdr 6:24
In the first year of the reign of Cyrus king Cyrus commanded
that the house of the Lord at Jerusalem should be built again,
where they do sacrifice with continual fire:

1Esdr 6:25
Whose height shall be sixty cubits and the breadth sixty
cubits, with three rows of hewn stones, and one row of new wood
of that country; and the expences thereof to be given out of the
house of king Cyrus:

1Esdr 6:26
And that the holy vessels of the house of the Lord, both of
gold and silver, that Nabuchodonosor took out of the house at
Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, should be restored to the
house at Jerusalem, and be set in the place where they were
before.

1Esdr 6:27
And also he commanded that Sisinnes the governor of Syria and
Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their companions, and those
which were appointed rulers in Syria and Phenice, should be
careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zorobabel, the
servant of the Lord, and governor of Judea, and the elders of
the Jews, to build the house of the Lord in that place.

1Esdr 6:28
I have commanded also to have it built up whole again; and
that they look diligently to help those that be of the captivity
of the Jews, till the house of the Lord be finished:

1Esdr 6:29
And out of the tribute of Celosyria and Phenice a portion
carefully to be given these men for the sacrifices of the Lord,
that is, to Zorobabel the governor, for bullocks, and rams, and
lambs;

1Esdr 6:30
And also corn, salt, wine, and oil, and that continually
every year without further question, according as the priests
that be in Jerusalem shall signify to be daily spent:

1Esdr 6:31
That offerings may be made to the most high God for the king
and for his children, and that they may pray for their lives.

1Esdr 6:32
And he commanded that whosoever should transgress, yea, or
make light of any thing afore spoken or written, out of his own
house should a tree be taken, and he thereon be hanged, and all
his goods seized for the king.

1Esdr 6:33
The Lord therefore, whose name is there called upon, utterly
destroy every king and nation, that stretcheth out his hand to
hinder or endamage that house of the Lord in Jerusalem.

1Esdr 6:34
I Darius the king have ordained that according unto these
things it be done with diligence.

1Esdr 7:1
Then Sisinnes the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, and
Sathrabuzanes, with their companions following the commandments
of king Darius,

1Esdr 7:2
Did very carefully oversee the holy works, assisting the
ancients of the Jews and governors of the temple.

1Esdr 7:3
And so the holy works prospered, when Aggeus and Zacharias
the prophets prophesied.

1Esdr 7:4
And they finished these things by the commandment of the Lord
God of Israel, and with the consent of Cyrus, Darius, and
Artexerxes, kings of Persia.

1Esdr 7:5
And thus was the holy house finished in the three and
twentieth day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of Darius
king of the Persians

1Esdr 7:6
And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and
others that were of the captivity, that were added unto them,
did according to the things written in the book of Moses.

1Esdr 7:7
And to the dedication of the temple of the Lord they offered
an hundred bullocks two hundred rams, four hundred lambs;

1Esdr 7:8
And twelve goats for the sin of all Israel, according to the
number of the chief of the tribes of Israel.

1Esdr 7:9
The priests also and the Levites stood arrayed in their
vestments, according to their kindreds, in the service of the
Lord God of Israel, according to the book of Moses: and the
porters at every gate.

1Esdr 7:10
And the children of Israel that were of the captivity held
the passover the fourteenth day of the first month, after that
the priests and the Levites were sanctified.

1Esdr 7:11
They that were of the captivity were not all sanctified
together: but the Levites were all sanctified together.

1Esdr 7:12
And so they offered the passover for all them of the
captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for
themselves.

1Esdr 7:13
And the children of Israel that came out of the captivity did
eat, even all they that had separated themselves from the
abominations of the people of the land, and sought the Lord.

1Esdr 7:14
And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days,
making merry before the Lord,

1Esdr 7:15
For that he had turned the counsel of the king of Assyria
toward them, to strengthen their hands in the works of the Lord
God of Israel.

1Esdr 8:1
And after these things, when Artexerxes the king of the
Persians reigned came Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of
Ezerias, the son of Helchiah, the son of Salum,

1Esdr 8:2
The son of Sadduc, the son of Achitob, the son of Amarias,
the son of Ezias, the son of Meremoth, the son of Zaraias, the
son of Savias, the son of Boccas, the son of Abisum, the son of
Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest.

1Esdr 8:3
This Esdras went up from Babylon, as a scribe, being very
ready in the law of Moses, that was given by the God of Israel.

1Esdr 8:4
And the king did him honour: for he found grace in his sight
in all his requests.

1Esdr 8:5
There went up with him also certain of the children of
Israel, of the priest of the Levites, of the holy singers,
porters, and ministers of the temple, unto Jerusalem,

1Esdr 8:6
In the seventh year of the reign of Artexerxes, in the fifth
month, this was the king's seventh year; for they went from
Babylon in the first day of the first month, and came to
Jerusalem, according to the prosperous journey which the Lord
gave them.

1Esdr 8:7
For Esdras had very great skill, so that he omitted nothing
of the law and commandments of the Lord, but taught all Israel
the ordinances and judgments.

1Esdr 8:8
Now the copy of the commission, which was written from
Artexerxes the king, and came to Esdras the priest and reader of
the law of the Lord, is this that followeth;

1Esdr 8:9
King Artexerxes unto Esdras the priest and reader of the law
of the Lord sendeth greeting:

1Esdr 8:10
Having determined to deal graciously, I have given order,
that such of the nation of the Jews, and of the priests and
Levites being within our realm, as are willing and desirous
should go with thee unto Jerusalem.

1Esdr 8:11
As many therefore as have a mind thereunto, let them depart
with thee, as it hath seemed good both to me and my seven
friends the counsellors;

1Esdr 8:12
That they may look unto the affairs of Judea and Jerusalem,
agreeably to that which is in the law of the Lord;

1Esdr 8:13
And carry the gifts unto the Lord of Israel to Jerusalem,
which I and my friends have vowed, and all the gold and silver
that in the country of Babylon can be found, to the Lord in
Jerusalem,

1Esdr 8:14
With that also which is given of the people for the temple of
the Lord their God at Jerusalem: and that silver and gold may be
collected for bullocks, rams, and lambs, and things thereunto
appertaining;

1Esdr 8:15
To the end that they may offer sacrifices unto the Lord upon
the altar of the Lord their God, which is in Jerusalem.

1Esdr 8:16
And whatsoever thou and thy brethren will do with the silver
and gold, that do, according to the will of thy God.

1Esdr 8:17
And the holy vessels of the Lord, which are given thee for
the use of the temple of thy God, which is in Jerusalem, thou
shalt set before thy God in Jerusalem.

1Esdr 8:18
And whatsoever thing else thou shalt remember for the use of
the temple of thy God, thou shalt give it out of the king's
treasury.
