Then the prophets, 5029 Haggai 2292 the prophet, 5029 and Zechariah 2148 the son 1247 of Iddo, 5714 prophesied 5013-73 unto 5922 the Jews 3062 that [were] in Judah 3061 and Jerusalem 3390 in the name 8036 of the God 426 of Israel, 3479 [even] unto 5922 them. |
| 2 |
Then 116 rose up 6966-57 Zerubbabel 2217 the son 1247 of Shealtiel, 7598 and Jeshua 3443|3442 the son 1247 of Jozadak, 3136 and began 8271-67 to build 1124-58 the house 1005 of God 426 which [is] at Jerusalem: 3390 and with them 5974 [were] the prophets 5029 of God 426 helping 5583-89 them. |

At the same time 2166 came 858-57 to 5922 them Tatnai, 8674 governor 6347 on this side 5675 the river, 5103 and Shetharboznai, 8370 and their companions, 3675 and said 560-61 thus 3652 unto them, Who 4479 hath commanded 7761-57 2942 you to build 1124-58 this 1836 house, 1005 and to make up 3635-123 this 1836 wall? 846 |
| 4 |
Then 116 said 560-57 we unto them after this manner, 3660 What 4479 are 581 the names 8036 of the men 1400 that make 1124-61 this 1836 building? 1147 |
| 5 |
But the eye 5870 of their God 426 was 1934-57 upon 5922 the elders 7868-61 of the Jews, 3062 that they could not 3809 cause them 1994 to cease, 989-57 till 5705 the matter 2941 came 1946-60 to Darius: 1868 and then 116 they returned answer 8421-88 by letter 5407 concerning 5922 this 1836 [matter]. |
| 6 |
The copy 6573 of the letter 104 that Tatnai, 8674 governor 6347 on this side 5675 the river, 5103 and Shetharboznai, 8370 and his companions 3675 the Apharsachites, 671 which [were] on this side 5675 the river, 5103 sent 7972-57 unto 5922 Darius 1868 the king: 4430 |
| 7 |
They sent 7972-57 a letter 6600 unto 5922 him, wherein 1459 was written 3790-63 thus; 1836 Unto Darius 1868 the king, 4430 all 3606 peace. 8001 |
| 8 |
Be it 1934-60 known 3046-63 unto the king, 4430 that we went 236-57 into the province 4083 of Judea, 3061 to the house 1005 of the great 7229 God, 426 which is builded 1124-84 with great 1560 stones, 69 and timber 636 is laid 7761-80 in the walls, 3797 and this 1791 work 5673 goeth 5648-80 fast 629 on, and prospereth 6744-89 in their hands. 3028 |
| 9 |
Then 116 asked 7593-57 we those 479 elders, 7868-61 [and] said 560-57 unto them thus, 3660 Who 4479 commanded 7761-57 2942 you to build 1124-58 this 1836 house, 1005 and to make up 3635-123 these 1836 walls? 846 |
| 10 |
We asked 7593-57 their names 8036 also, 638 to certify 3046-86 thee, that we might write 3790-60 the names 8036 of the men 1400 that [were] the chief 7217 of them. |
| 11 |
And thus 3660 they returned 8421-85 us answer, 6600 saying, 560-58 We 586 are 1994 the servants 5649 of the God 426 of heaven 8065 and earth, 772 and build 1124-61 the house 1005 that was 1934-57 builded 1124-63 these 1836 many 7690 years 8140 ago, 6928 which a great 7229 king 4430 of Israel 3479 builded 1124-57 and set up. 3635-122 |
| 12 |
But 3861 after 4481 that our fathers 2 had provoked the God 426 of heaven 8065 unto wrath, 7265-85 he gave 3052-57 them 1994 into the hand 3028 of Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 of Babylon, 895 the Chaldean, 3679 who destroyed 5642-57 this 1836 house, 1005 and carried the people 5972 away 1541-85 into Babylon. 895 |
| 13 |
But 1297 in the first 2298 year 8140 of Cyrus 3567 the king 4430 of Babylon 895 [the same] king 4430 Cyrus 3567 made 7761-57 a decree 2942 to build 1124-58 this 1836 house 1005 of God. 426 |
| 14 |
And the vessels 3984 also 638 of 1768 gold 1722 and silver 3702 of 1768 the house 1005 of God, 426 which Nebuchadnezzar 5020 took out 5312-85 of 4481 the temple 1965 that [was] in Jerusalem, 3390 and brought 2987-85 them 1994 into the temple 1965 of Babylon, 895 those 1994 did Cyrus 3567 the king 4430 take out 5312-85 of 4481 the temple 1965 of Babylon, 895 and they were delivered 3052-64 unto [one], whose name 8036 [was] Sheshbazzar, 8340 whom he had made 7761-57 governor; 6347 |
| 15 |
And said 560-57 unto him, Take 5376-59 these 412-q vessels, 3984 go, 236-59 carry 5182-87 them 1994 into the temple 1965 that [is] in Jerusalem, 3390 and let the house 1005 of God 426 be builded 1124-83 in 5922 his place. 870 |
| 16 |
Then 116 came 858-57 the same 1791 Sheshbazzar, 8340 [and] laid 3052-57 the foundation 787 of the house 1005 of God 426 which [is] in Jerusalem: 3390 and since 4481 that time 116 even until 5705 now 3705 hath it been in building, 1124-84 and [yet] it is not 3809 finished. 8000-63 |
| 17 |
Now 3705 therefore, if 2006 [it seem] good 2869 to 5922 the king, 4430 let there be search 1240-75 made in the king's 4430 treasure 1596 house, 1005 which [is] there 8536 at Babylon, 895 whether 2006 it be 383 [so], that a decree 2942 was made 7761-63 of 4481 Cyrus 3567 the king 4430 to build 1124-58 this 1791 house 1005 of God 426 at Jerusalem, 3390 and let the king 4430 send 7972-60 his pleasure 7470 to us concerning 5922 this matter. 1836 |
