Be it known unto
the king ,
that we went
into
the province of Judea
, to the house of the
great

is builded
with great
stones, and timber
is laid
in the walls, and this work goeth

`
with '
rolled
stones, and wood
is placed
in the walls, and this work is
done
speedily
, and prospering
in their hand
.
Then asked
we those
elders, and
said unto
them thus
, Who commanded
you to
build
this house, and to make
up
these
walls
?
Then we have
asked
of
these
elders, thus
we
have
said to
them, Who hath
made
for
you a
decree
this house to
build
, and this
wall
to finish
?
We
asked
their names also
, to certify
thee, that we might write the names of the men that
were
the
chief
of
them
.
And
also
their names we
have
asked
of
them
, to let
thee know
, that we might write the names of the men who
`are'
at
their
head
.
And thus they returned us answer
, saying, We are the
servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build
the house that was builded
these
many years ago
, which
a great king of Israel builded
and set
up.
`
And thus they have
returned us word
, saying, We `
are '
servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are
building
the house that was built
many years before
this
, that
a great king of Israel built
and finished:
But after that our fathers had
provoked
the God of heaven unto
wrath
, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon ,
the Chaldean, who
destroyed
this house, and carried
the people away
into
Babylon .
but after that our fathers made
the God of heaven angry
, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the Chaldean, and
this house he
destroyed
, and the people he
removed
to
Babylon ;
But in the first year of Cyrus the
king of Babylon the same
king Cyrus
made a decree to build this house of God .
but in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon ,
Cyrus
the king made a decree to build this house of God ,
And the vessels also
of gold
and
silver
of
the house of God, which
Nebuchadnezzar took
out of the temple that was
in Jerusalem, and brought them into
the temple of Babylon, those
did
Cyrus the king take
out of the temple of Babylon, and they were
delivered
unto
one, whose
name
was
Sheshbazzar, whom he had
made governor ;
and also,
the vessels of the house of God, of
gold
and
silver,
that
Nebuchadnezzar had
taken
forth
out of the temple that `is'
in Jerusalem, and brought them to
the temple of Babylon, them
hath
Cyrus the king brought
forth
out of the temple of Babylon, and they have
been
given
to
`
one '
, Sheshbazzar `is'
his
name
, whom he made governor ,
And said unto
him, Take
these vessels, go, carry
them into
the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let
the house of God be
builded in
his
place.
and said to
him, These vessels lift
up
, go, put
them down
in
the temple that `
is '
in Jerusalem, and the house of God is
builded on
its
place.
Then came
the
same
Sheshbazzar ,
and
laid the foundation
of the house of God which
is in Jerusalem :
and since
that
time
even until
now hath
it been in
building, and yet
it
is not finished.
Then hath
this
Sheshbazzar come
--
he
hath
laid the foundations
of the house of God that
`
is '
in Jerusalem ,
and from
thence
even till
now it hath
been building, and is not finished.
Now therefore
, if it
seem
good
to the king, let there
be
search made in the king's
treasure house, which
is there at
Babylon, whether it be so,
that a
decree
was
made
of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at
Jerusalem, and let
the king send
his
pleasure
to
us
concerning this matter
.
`And
now, if to the king it
be
good
, let search be
made in the treasure -
house of
the
king
, that
`
is '
there in
Babylon, whether it be that of Cyrus the king there
was
made
a
decree
to build this house of God in
Jerusalem, and the will
of
the
king concerning this thing
he
doth
send
unto
us
. '
