Ezr 4:8 |
Rehum 7348 the commander 1169 2942 and Shimshai 8124 the scribe 5613 wrote 3790 a letter 104 against 5922 Jerusalem 3390 to King4430 Artaxerxes, 783 as follows 3660— |
Ezr 4:11 |
this 1836 is the copy 6573 of the letter 104 which 1768 they sent 7972 to him: "To King4430 Artaxerxes 783: Your servants, 5649 the men 606 in the region 5675 beyond 5675 the River, 5103 and now 3706 |
Ezr 4:12 |
let it be known 3046 to the king4430 that the Jews 3062 who 1768 came 5559 up from you have come 858 to us at Jerusalem 3390; they are rebuilding 1124 the rebellious 4779 and evil 873 city 7149 and are finishing 3635 the walls 7792 and repairing 2338 the foundations. 787 |
Ezr 4:13 |
"Now 3705 let it be known 3046 to the king,4430 that if 2006 that city 7149 is rebuilt 1124 and the walls 7792 are finished, 3635 they will not pay 5415 tribute, 4061 custom 1093 or toll, 1983 and it will damage 5142 the revenue 674 of the kings.4430 |
Ezr 4:14 |
"Now 3705 because 3606 6903 1768 we are in the service 4415 of the palace, 1965 and it is not fitting 749 for us to see 2370 the king's4430 dishonor, 6173 therefore 5922 1836 we have sent 7972 and informed 3046 the king,4430 |
Ezr 4:15 |
so 1768 that a search 1240 may be made 5648 in the record 1799 books 5609 of your fathers. 2 And you will discover 7912 in the record 1799 books 5609 and learn 3046 that that city 7149 is a rebellious 4779 city 7149 and damaging 5142 to kings4430 and provinces, 4083 and that they have incited 5648 revolt 849 within 1459 it in past 5957 days 3118; therefore 5922 1836 that city 7149 was laid 2718 waste. 2718 |
Ezr 4:16 |
"We inform 3046 the king4430 that if 2006 that city 7149 is rebuilt 1124 and the walls 7792 finished, 3635 as a result 6903 you will have 383 no 3809 possession 2508 in the province beyond 5675 the River. 5103" |
Ezr 4:17 |
Then the king4430 sent 7972 an answer 6600 to Rehum 7348 the commander 1169 2942, to Shimshai 8124 the scribe, 5613 and to the rest 7606 of their colleagues 3675 who 1768 live 3488 in Samaria 8115 and in the rest 7606 of the provinces beyond 5675 the River 5103: "Peace. 8001 And now 3706 |
Ezr 4:19 |
"A decree 2942 has been issued 7761 by me, and a search 1240 has been made 1240 and it has been discovered 7912 that that city 7149 has risen 5376 up against 5922 the kings4430 in past 5957 days, 3118 that rebellion 4776 and revolt 849 have been perpetrated 5957 in it, |
Ezr 4:20 |
that mighty 8624 kings4430 have ruled 1934 over 5922 Jerusalem, 3390 governing 7990 all 3606 the provinces beyond 5675 the River, 5103 and that tribute, 4061 custom 1093 and toll 1983 were paid 3052 to them. |
Ezr 4:22 |
"Beware 1934 of being negligent 7960 in carrying 5648 out this 1836 matter; why 4101 should damage 2257 increase 7680 to the detriment 5142 of the kings4430?" |
Ezr 4:23 |
Then 116 as soon 4481 1768 as the copy 6573 of King4430 Artaxerxes' 783 document 5407 was read 7123 before 6925 Rehum 7348 and Shimshai 8124 the scribe 5613 and their colleagues, 3675 they went 236 in haste 924 to Jerusalem 3390 to the Jews 3062 and stopped 989 them by force 153 of arms. 2429 |
Ezr 4:24 |
Then 116 work 5673 on the house 1005 of God 426 in Jerusalem 3390 ceased, 989 and it was stopped 989 until 5704 the second 8648 year 8140 of the reign 4437 of Darius 1868 king4430 of Persia. 6540 |
Ezr 5:6 |
This is the copy 6573 of the letter 104 which 1768 Tattenai, 8674 the governor 6347 of the province beyond 5675 the River, 5103 and Shethar-bozenai 8370 and his colleagues 3675 the officials, 671 who 1768 were beyond 5675 the River, 5103 sent 7972 to Darius 1868 the king.4430 |
Ezr 5:7 |
They sent 7972 a report 6600 to him in which it was written 3790 thus 1836: "To Darius 1868 the king,4430 all 3606 peace. 8001 |
Ezr 5:8 |
"Let it be known 3046 to the king4430 that we have gone 236 to the province 4083 of Judah, 3061 to the house 1005 of the great 7229 God, 426 which 1932 is being built 1124 with huge 1560 stones, 69 and beams 636 are being laid 7761 in the walls 3797; and this 1791 work 5673 is going 5648 on with great 629 care 629 and is succeeding 6744 in their hands. 3028 |
Ezr 5:11 |
"Thus 3660 they answered 8421 6600 us, saying, 560 'We are the servants 5649 of the God 426 of heaven 8065 and earth 772 and are rebuilding 1124 the temple 1005 that was built 1124 many 7690 years 8140 ago, 6928 which a great 7229 king4430 of Israel 3479 built 1124 and finished. 3635 |
Ezr 5:12 |
'But because 4481 1768 our fathers 2 had provoked 7265 the God 426 of heaven 8065 to wrath, 7265 He gave 3052 them into the hand 3028 of Nebuchadnezzar 5020 king4430 of Babylon, 895 the Chaldean, 3779 who destroyed 5642 this 1836 temple 1005 and deported 1541 the people 5972 to Babylon. 895 |
Ezr 5:13 |
'However, 1297 in the first 2298 year 8140 of Cyrus 3567 king4430 of Babylon, 895 King4430 Cyrus 3567 issued 7761 a decree 2942 to rebuild 1124 this 1836 house 1005 of God. 426 |
Ezr 5:14 |
'Also 638 the gold 1722 and silver 3702 utensils 3984 of the house 1005 of God 426 which 1768 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 had taken 5312 from the temple 1965 in Jerusalem, 3390 and brought 2987 them to the temple 1965 of Babylon, 895 these 1994 King4430 Cyrus 3567 took 5312 from the temple 1965 of Babylon 895 and they were given 3052 to one whose name 8036 was Sheshbazzar, 8340 whom 1768 he had appointed 7761 governor. 6347 |
Ezr 5:17 |
"Now 3705 if 2006 it pleases 2869 the king,4430 let a search 1240 be conducted 1240 in the king's4430 treasure 1596 house, 1005 which 1768 is there 8536 in Babylon, 895 if 2006 it be that a decree 2942 was issued 7761 by King4430 Cyrus 3567 to rebuild 1124 this 1791 house 1005 of God 426 at Jerusalem 3390; and let the king4430 send 7972 to us his decision 7470 concerning 5922 this 1836 matter." |
Ezr 6:1 |
Then 116 King4430 Darius 1868 issued 7761 a decree, 2942 and search 1240 was made 1240 in the archives 1005 5609, where 1768 8536 the treasures 1596 were stored 5182 in Babylon. 895 |
Ezr 6:3 |
"In the first 2298 year 8140 of King4430 Cyrus, 3567 Cyrus 3567 the king4430 issued 7761 a decree 2942: 'Concerning the house 1005 of God 426 at Jerusalem, 3390 let the temple, 1005 the place 870 where 1768 sacrifices 1685 are offered, 1684 be rebuilt 1124 and let its foundations 787 be retained, 5446 its height 7314 being 60 8361 cubits 521 and its width 6613 60 8361 cubits 521; |
Ezr 6:4 |
with three 8532 layers 5073 of huge 1560 stones 69 and one layer 5073 of timbers. 636 And let the cost 5313 be paid 3052 from the royal4430 treasury. 1005 |
Ezr 6:8 |
"Moreover, I issue 7761 a decree 2942 concerning what 4101 1768 you are to do 5648 for these 479 elders 7868 of Judah 3062 in the rebuilding 1124 of this 1791 house 1005 of God 426: the full 629 cost 5313 is to be paid 3052 to these 479 people 1400 from the royal4430 treasury 5232 out of the taxes 4061 of the provinces beyond 5675 the River, 5103 and that without 3809 delay. 989 |
