1Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Yahuah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Yahuah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
2Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, The Yahuah Elohim of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which in Judah.
3Who among you of all his people? his Elohim be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which in Judah, and build the house of the Yahuah Elohim of Israel, (he the Elohim,) which in Jerusalem.
4And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of Elohim that in Jerusalem.
5Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all whose spirit Elohim had raised, to go up to build the house of the Yahuah which in Jerusalem.
6And all they that about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all was willingly offered.
7Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Yahuah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9And this the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
11All the vessels of gold and of silver five thousand and four hundred. All did Sheshbazzar bring up with the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
