1:1 In
the
first
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
that
the
word
of
the
LORD
by
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
might
be
fulfilled,
the
LORD
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
so
that
he
made
a
proclamation
throughout
all
his
kingdom
and
also
put
it
in
writing:
1:2 "Thus
says
Cyrus
king
of
Persia:
The
LORD,
the
God
of
heaven,
has
given
me
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth,
and
he
has
charged
me
to
build
him
a
house
at
Jerusalem,
which
is
in
Judah.
1:3 Whoever
is
among
you
of
all
his
people,
may
his
God
be
with
him,
and
let
him
go
up
to
Jerusalem,
which
is
in
Judah,
and
rebuild
the
house
of
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel--he
is
the
God
who
is
in
Jerusalem.
1:4 And
let
each
survivor,
in
whatever
place
he
sojourns,
be
assisted
by
the
men
of
his
place
with
silver
and
gold,
with
goods
and
with
beasts,
besides
freewill
offerings
for
the
house
of
God
that
is
in
Jerusalem."
1:5 Then
rose
up
the
heads
of
the
fathers'
houses
of
Judah
and
Benjamin,
and
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
everyone
whose
spirit
God
had
stirred
to
go
up
to
rebuild
the
house
of
the
LORD
that
is
in
Jerusalem.
1:6 And
all
who
were
about
them
aided
them
with
vessels
of
silver,
with
gold,
with
goods,
with
beasts,
and
with
costly
wares,
besides
all
that
was
freely
offered.
1:7 Cyrus
the
king
also
brought
out
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
that
Nebuchadnezzar
had
carried
away
from
Jerusalem
and
placed
in
the
house
of
his
gods.
1:8 Cyrus
king
of
Persia
brought
these
out
in
the
charge
of
Mithredath
the
treasurer,
who
counted
them
out
to
Sheshbazzar
the
prince
of
Judah.
1:9 And
this
was
the
number
of
them:
30
basins
of
gold,
1,000
basins
of
silver,
29
censers,
1:10 30
bowls
of
gold,
410
bowls
of
silver,
and
1,000
other
vessels;
1:11 all
the
vessels
of
gold
and
of
silver
were
5,400.
All
these
did
Sheshbazzar
bring
up,
when
the
exiles
were
brought
up
from
Babylonia
to
Jerusalem.
