Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect
peace,
and at such a time .
`
Artaxerxes, king of kings, to
Ezra the priest, a perfect
scribe of the law of the God of heaven, and at such a time :
I
make
a decree ,
that all
they
of the people of Israel ,
and of his
priests and Levites, in
my
realm,
which
are
minded
of
their
own
freewill
to go up
to Jerusalem ,
go
with thee .
By
me
hath
been
made
a decree that every
one
who
is
willing,
in
my
kingdom,
of the people of Israel and of its
priests and Levites, to go to Jerusalem with thee ,
doth
go;
Forasmuch
as
thou
art
sent
of
the king ,
and of
his seven counsellors, to enquire
concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according
to
the law of thy
God which
is in thine
hand ;
because
that
from
the king and his seven counsellors thou
art
sent
, to inquire
concerning Judah and concerning
Jerusalem, with
the law of God that
`
is '
in thy
hand ,
And to carry the
silver and gold ,
which
the king and his counsellors have
freely
offered unto
the God of Israel, whose habitation
is in Jerusalem,
and to carry silver and gold that
the king and his counsellors willingly
offered to
the God of Israel, whose tabernacle
`
is '
in Jerusalem,
And all the silver and gold that thou canst
find
in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill
offering
of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which
is in Jerusalem :
and all the silver and gold that thou findest
in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will
offerings
of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly ,
for the house of their God that
`
is '
in Jerusalem ,
That
thou mayest
buy
speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with
their meat
offerings
and their drink
offerings
, and offer
them upon
the altar of the house of your God which
is in Jerusalem .
therefore
thou dost
speedily buy
with this money ,
bullocks, rams, lambs, and
their presents,
and their libations
, and dost
bring
them near
to
the altar of the house of your God that
`
is '
in Jerusalem ,
And whatsoever
shall
seem
good
to thee ,
and to thy brethren ,
to do with the rest of the silver and the
gold, that
do
after
the will of your God.
and that
which
to thee and to thy brethren is
good
to do with the rest of the silver and gold, according
to
the will of your God ye
do
. '
The vessels also
that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those
deliver
thou
before the God of Jerusalem .
`And
the vessels that are given to
thee ,
for the service of the house of thy God, make
perfect
before the God of Jerusalem ;
And whatsoever
more
shall
be
needful for
the house of thy God, which
thou
shalt
have
occasion
to bestow
, bestow
it
out
of
the king's
treasure house.
and the
rest
of
the
needful things
of
the house of thy God, that
it
falleth
to thee
to
give
, thou
dost
give
from
the treasure -
house of
the
king
.
And I,
even
I Artaxerxes the king ,
do
make
a decree to all the
treasurers which
are beyond the river, that whatsoever
Ezra the priest, the
scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall
require
of you, it
be done speedily ,
`
And by
me
--
I Artaxerxes the king --
is
made
a decree to all treasurers who
`
are '
beyond the river, that all
that
Ezra the priest, scribe of the law of the God of heaven, doth
ask
of you, be done speedily :
Unto an
hundred talents of
silver
, and to
an
hundred
measures
of
wheat, and to
an
hundred baths of
wine
, and to
an
hundred baths of
oil
, and salt without prescribing
how
much.
Unto silver
a
hundred talents, and unto
wheat a
hundred
cors

wine
a
hundred baths, and unto
oil
a
hundred baths, and salt without reckoning;
Whatsoever
is commanded
by the God of heaven, let it
be diligently
done for the house of the God of heaven :
for why should
there be
wrath against the realm
of the king and his sons?
all
that
`
is '
by the decree
of
the
God of heaven, let be done diligently
for the house of the God of heaven ;
for why is
there wrath against the kingdom
of the king and his sons?
Also
we
certify
you, that touching
any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters
, Nethinims
, or
ministers
of this
house of God, it
shall
not
be
lawful
to
impose
toll,
tribute ,
or
custom ,
upon
them
.
`And
to
you we
are
making
known
, that upon
any of the priests and Levites, singers, gatekeepers
, Nethinim
, and
servants
of the
house of God, tribute and
custom there
is
no
authority
to
lift
up
.
And thou, Ezra, after
the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine
hand, set
magistrates and judges ,
which
may judge
all the people that
are beyond the river, all such
as
know
the laws
of thy God ;
and teach
ye them
that
know them
not.
`
And thou, Ezra, according
to
the wisdom of thy God, that `
is '
in thy
hand, appoint
magistrates and judges who
may be
judges
to
all the people who
are beyond the river, to
all knowing
the law
of thy God ,
and he
who
hath
not
known
ye cause
to
know ;
And whosoever
will
not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let
judgment
be
executed
speedily upon him, whether it
be
unto
death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods
, or
to imprisonment
.
and any
who
doth
not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, speedily is

done
upon him, whether to
death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of riches

. '
Blessed be
the
LORD
God of our fathers, which
hath put
such a thing as this in the king's
heart, to beautify the house of the
LORD
which
is in Jerusalem :
Blessed `is'
Jehovah,
God of our fathers, who
hath given
such a thing as this in the heart of
the
king
, to beautify the house of Jehovah
that
`
is '
in Jerusalem ,
And hath
extended
mercy
unto me before the king ,
and his counsellors, and before all the king's
mighty princes.
And I was
strengthened as the hand of the
LORD
my God was
upon me, and I gathered
together
out of Israel chief
men
to go up with me.
and unto me hath
stretched
out
kindness
before the king and his counsellors, and before all the mighty heads
of
the
king:
and I have
strengthened myself
as the hand of Jehovah
my God `is'
upon me, and I gather
out of Israel heads
to go up with me.
