1 Esdras 6
(1611 KJV)
1 Esdras 6:1
Now in the second
year of the reign of Darius Aggeus and Zacharias the son of Addo, the prophets,
prophesied unto the Jews in Jewry and Jerusalem in the name of the Lord God of
Israel, which was upon them.
1 Esdras 6:2
Then stood up
Zorobabel the son of Salatiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and began to build
the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, the prophets of the Lord being with them,
and helping them.
1 Esdras 6:3
At the same time
came unto them Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, with Sathrabuzanes
and his companions, and said unto them,
1 Esdras 6:4
By whose
appointment do ye build this house and this roof, and perform all the other
things? and who are the workmen that perform these things?
1 Esdras 6:5
Nevertheless the
elders of the Jews obtained favor, because the Lord had visited the captivity;
1 Esdras 6:6
And they were not
hindered from building, until such time as signification was given unto Darius
concerning them, and an answer received.
1 Esdras 6:7
The copy of the
letters which Sisinnes, governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with
their companions, rulers in Syria and Phenice, wrote and sent unto Darius; To
king Darius, greeting:
1 Esdras 6:8
Let all things be
known unto our lord the king, that being come into the country of Judea, and
entered into the city of Jerusalem we found in the city of Jerusalem the
ancients of the Jews that were of the captivity
1 Esdras 6:9
Building an house
unto the Lord, great and new, of hewn and costly stones, and the timber already
laid upon the walls.
1 Esdras 6:10
And those works are
done with great speed, and the work goeth on prosperously in their hands, and
with all glory and diligence is it made.
1 Esdras 6:11
Then asked we these
elders, saying, By whose commandment build ye this house, and lay the
foundations of these works?
1 Esdras 6:12
Therefore to the
intent that we might give knowledge unto thee by writing, we demanded of them
who were the chief doers, and we required of them the names in writing of their
principal men.
1 Esdras 6:13
So they gave us
this answer, We are the servants of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
1 Esdras 6:14
And as for this
house, it was builded many years ago by a king of Israel great and strong, and
was finished.
1 Esdras 6:15
But when our
fathers provoked God unto wrath, and sinned against the Lord of Israel which is
in heaven, he gave them over into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,
of the Chaldees;
1 Esdras 6:16
Who pulled down the
house, and burned it, and carried away the people captives unto Babylon.
1 Esdras 6:17
But in the first
year that king Cyrus reigned over the country of Babylon Cyrus the king wrote
to build up this house.
1 Esdras 6:18
And the holy
vessels of gold and of silver, that Nabuchodonosor had carried away out of the
house at Jerusalem, and had set them in his own temple those Cyrus the king
brought forth again out of the temple at Babylon, and they were delivered to
Zorobabel and to Sanabassarus the ruler,
1 Esdras 6:19
With commandment
that he should carry away the same vessels, and put them in the temple at
Jerusalem; and that the temple of the Lord should be built in his place.
1 Esdras 6:20
Then the same
Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid the foundations of the house of the Lord
at Jerusalem; and from that time to this being still a building, it is not yet
fully ended.
1 Esdras 6:21
Now therefore, if
it seem good unto the king, let search be made among the records of king Cyrus:
1 Esdras 6:22
And if it be found
that the building of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem hath been done with the
consent of king Cyrus, and if our lord the king be so minded, let him signify
unto us thereof.
1 Esdras 6:23
Then commanded king
Darius to seek among the records at Babylon: and so at Ecbatane the palace,
which is in the country of Media, there was found a roll wherein these things
were recorded.
1 Esdras 6:24
In the first year
of the reign of Cyrus king Cyrus commanded that the house of the Lord at
Jerusalem should be built again, where they do sacrifice with continual fire:
1 Esdras 6:25
Whose height shall
be sixty cubits and the breadth sixty cubits, with three rows of hewn stones,
and one row of new wood of that country; and the expences thereof to be given
out of the house of king Cyrus:
1 Esdras 6:26
And that the holy
vessels of the house of the Lord, both of gold and silver, that Nabuchodonosor
took out of the house at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, should be restored
to the house at Jerusalem, and be set in the place where they were before.
1 Esdras 6:27
And also he
commanded that Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes,
and their companions, and those which were appointed rulers in Syria and
Phenice, should be careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zorobabel,
the servant of the Lord, and governor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews, to
build the house of the Lord in that place.
1 Esdras 6:28
I have commanded also
to have it built up whole again; and that they look diligently to help those
that be of the captivity of the Jews, till the house of the Lord be finished:
1 Esdras 6:29
And out of the
tribute of Celosyria and Phenice a portion carefully to be given these men for
the sacrifices of the Lord, that is, to Zorobabel the governor, for bullocks,
and rams, and lambs;
1 Esdras 6:30
And also corn,
salt, wine, and oil, and that continually every year without further question,
according as the priests that be in Jerusalem shall signify to be daily spent:
1 Esdras 6:31
That offerings may
be made to the most high God for the king and for his children, and that they
may pray for their lives.
1 Esdras 6:32
And he commanded
that whosoever should transgress, yea, or make light of any thing afore spoken
or written, out of his own house should a tree be taken, and he thereon be
hanged, and all his goods seized for the king.
1 Esdras 6:33
The Lord therefore,
whose name is there called upon, utterly destroy every king and nation, that
stretcheth out his hand to hinder or endamage that house of the Lord in
Jerusalem.
1 Esdras 6:34
I Darius the king
have ordained that according unto these things it be done with diligence.
