Now after [0310] these things, [1697] in the reign [4438] of Artaxerxes [0783] king [4428] of Persia, [6539] Ezra [5830] the son [1121] of Seraiah, [8304] the son [1121] of Azariah, [5838] the son [1121] of Hilkiah, [2518]

2

The son [1121] of Shallum, [7967] the son [1121] of Zadok, [6659] the son [1121] of Ahitub, [0285]

3

The son [1121] of Amariah, [0568] the son [1121] of Azariah, [5838] the son [1121] of Meraioth, [4812]

4

The son [1121] of Zerahiah, [2228] the son [1121] of Uzzi, [5813] the son [1121] of Bukki, [1231]

5

The son [1121] of Abishua, [0050] the son [1121] of Phinehas, [6372] the son [1121] of Eleazar, [0499] the son [1121] of Aaron [0175] the chief [7218] priest: [3548]

6

This Ezra [5830] went up [5927] from Babylon; [0894] and he [was] a ready [4106] scribe [5608] in the law [8451] of Moses, [4872] which the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] had given: [5414] and the king [4428] granted [5414] him all his request, [1246] according to the hand [3027] of the LORD [3068] his God [0430] upon him.

7

And there went up [5927] [some] of the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] and of the priests, [3548] and the Levites, [3881] and the singers, [7891] and the porters, [7778] and the Nethinims, [5411] unto Jerusalem, [3389] in the seventh [7651] year [8141] of Artaxerxes [0783] the king. [4428]

8

And he came [0935] to Jerusalem [3389] in the fifth [2549] month, [2320] which [was] in the seventh [7637] year [8141] of the king. [4428]

9

For upon the first [0259] [day] of the first [7223] month [2320] began [3246] he to go up [4609] from Babylon, [0894] and on the first [0259] [day] of the fifth [2549] month [2320] came [0935] he to Jerusalem, [3389] according to the good [2896] hand [3027] of his God [0430] upon him.

10

For Ezra [5830] had prepared [3559] his heart [3824] to seek [1875] the law [8451] of the LORD, [3068] and to do [6213] [it], and to teach [3925] in Israel [3478] statutes [2706] and judgments. [4941]

11

Now this [is] the copy [6572] of the letter [5406] that the king [4428] Artaxerxes [0783] gave [5414] unto Ezra [5830] the priest, [3548] the scribe, [5608] [even] a scribe [5608] of the words [1697] of the commandments [4687] of the LORD, [3068] and of his statutes [2706] to Israel. [3478]

12

Artaxerxes, [0783] king [4430] of kings, [4430] unto Ezra [5831] the priest, [3549] a scribe [5613] of the law [1882] of the God [0426] of heaven, [8065] perfect [1585] [peace], and at such a time. [3706]

13

I [4481] make [7761] a decree, [2942] that all [3606] they of [4481] the people [5972] of Israel, [3479] and [of] his priests [3549] and Levites, [3879] in my realm, [4437] which are minded of their own freewill [5069] to go up [1946] to Jerusalem, [3390] go [1946] with thee. [5974]

14

Forasmuch as [3606] [6903] [1768] thou art sent [7972] of [4481] [6925] the king, [4430] and of his seven [7655] counsellors, [3272] to enquire [1240] concerning [5922] Judah [3061] and Jerusalem, [3390] according to the law [1882] of thy God [0426] which [is] in thine hand; [3028]

15

And to carry [2987] the silver [3702] and gold, [1722] which the king [4430] and his counsellors [3272] have freely offered [5069] unto the God [0426] of Israel, [3479] whose [1768] habitation [4907] [is] in Jerusalem, [3390]

16

And all [3606] the silver [3702] and gold [1722] that thou canst find [7912] in all [3606] the province [4083] of Babylon, [0895] with [5974] the freewill offering [5069] of the people, [5972] and of the priests, [3549] offering willingly [5069] for the house [1005] of their God [0426] which [is] in Jerusalem: [3390]

17

That [3606] [6903] [1836] thou mayest buy [7066] speedily [0629] with this [1836] money [3702] bullocks, [8450] rams, [1798] lambs, [0563] with their meat offerings [4504] and their drink offerings, [5261] and offer [7127] them [1994] upon [5922] the altar [4056] of the house [1005] of your God [0426] which [is] in Jerusalem. [3390]

18

And whatsoever [4101] [1768] shall seem good [3191] to [5922] thee, and to [5922] thy brethren, [0252] to do [5648] with the rest [7606] of the silver [3702] and the gold, [1722] that do [5648] after the will [7470] of your God. [0426]

19

The vessels [3984] also that are given [3052] thee for the service [6402] of the house [1005] of thy God, [0426] [those] deliver [8000] thou before [6925] the God [0426] of Jerusalem. [3390]

20

And whatsoever more [7606] shall be needful [2819] for the house [1005] of thy God, [0426] which thou shalt have occasion [5308] to bestow, [5415] bestow [5415] [it] out of [4481] the king's [4430] treasure [1596] house. [1005]

21

And I, [4481] [even] I [0576] Artaxerxes [0783] the king, [4430] do make [7761] a decree [2942] to all [3606] the treasurers [1490] which [are] beyond [5675] the river, [5103] that whatsoever [3606] Ezra [5831] the priest, [3549] the scribe [5613] of the law [1882] of the God [0426] of heaven, [8065] shall require [7593] of you, it be done [5648] speedily, [0629]

22

Unto [5705] an hundred [3969] talents [3604] of silver, [3702] and to [5705] an hundred [3969] measures [3734] of wheat, [2591] and to [5705] an hundred [3969] baths [1325] of wine, [2562] and to [5705] an hundred [3969] baths [1325] of oil, [4887] and salt [4416] without [3809] prescribing [3792] [how much].

23

Whatsoever [3606] is commanded [2941] by [4481] the God [0426] of heaven, [8065] let it be diligently [0149] done [5648] for the house [1005] of the God [0426] of heaven: [8065] for [1768] why [4101] should there be [1934] wrath [7109] against [5922] the realm [4437] of the king [4430] and his sons? [1123]

24

Also we certify [3046] you, that touching any [3606] of the priests [3549] and Levites, [3879] singers, [2171] porters, [8652] Nethinims, [5412] or ministers [6399] of this [1836] house [1005] of God, [0426] it shall not [3809] be lawful [7990] to impose [7412] toll, [4061] tribute, [1093] or custom, [1983] upon [5922] them.

25

And thou, [0607] Ezra, [5831] after the wisdom [2452] of thy God, [0426] that [is] in thine hand, [3028] set [4483] magistrates [8200] and judges, [1782] which may judge [1934] [1778] all [3606] the people [5972] that [are] beyond [5675] the river, [5103] all [3606] such as know [3046] the laws [1882] of thy God; [0426] and teach [3046] ye them that know [3046] [them] not. [3809]

26

And whosoever [3606] will not [3809] do [1934] [5648] the law [1882] of thy God, [0426] and the law [1882] of the king, [4430] let judgment [1780] be [1934] executed [5648] speedily [0629] upon him, [4481] whether [2006] [it be] unto death, [4193] or [2006] to banishment, [8332] or [2006] to confiscation [6065] of goods, [5232] or to imprisonment. [0613]

27

Blessed [1288] [be] the LORD [3068] God [0430] of our fathers, [0001] which hath put [5414] [such a thing] as this in the king's [4428] heart, [3820] to beautify [6286] the house [1004] of the LORD [3068] which [is] in Jerusalem: [3389]

28

And hath extended [5186] mercy [2617] unto me before [6440] the king, [4428] and his counsellors, [3289] and before all the king's [4428] mighty [1368] princes. [8269] And I was strengthened [2388] as the hand [3027] of the LORD [3068] my God [0430] [was] upon me, and I gathered together [6908] out of Israel [3478] chief [7218] men to go up [5927] with me.
