Then the king ^H4430 sent ^H7972 an edict ^H6600 to Rehum ^H7348 the commander ^H1169 H2942, to Shimshai ^H8124 the scribe ^H5613, and to the rest ^H7606 of their colleagues ^H3675 who ^H1768 live ^H3488 in Samaria ^H8115 and in the rest ^H7606 of the provinces beyond ^H5675 the River ^H5103: “Peace ^H8001. And now ^H3706—

“So a decree ^H2942 has been [fn]issued ^H7761 by me, and a search ^H1240 has been made ^H1240 and it has been found ^H7912 that that city ^H7149 has lifted ^H5376 itself ^H5376 up ^H5376 against ^H5922 the kings ^H4430 in past ^H5957 days ^H3118, that rebellion ^H4776 and revolt ^H849 have been perpetrated ^H5648 in it,

“Now ^H3705 issue ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 to make those ^H479 men ^H1400 stop ^H989, that this ^H1791 city ^H7149 may not be rebuilt ^H1124 until ^H5704 a decree ^H2942 is issued ^H7761 by me.

At that time ^H2166 Tattenai ^H8674, the governor ^H6347 of the province beyond ^H5675 the [fn]River ^H5103, and Shethar-bozenai ^H8370 and their colleagues ^H3675 came ^H858 to them and spoke ^H560 to them thus ^H3652, “Who ^H4479 issued ^H7761 you a decree ^H2942 to rebuild ^H1124 this ^H1836 house ^H1005 and to complete ^H3635 this ^H1836 structure ^H846?”

“Then ^H116 we asked ^H7593 those ^H479 elders ^H7868 and said ^H560 to them thus ^H3660, ‘Who ^H4479 issued ^H7761 you a decree ^H2942 to rebuild ^H1124 this ^H1836 house ^H1005 and to complete ^H3635 this ^H1836 structure ^H846?’

‘However ^H1297, in the first ^H2298 year ^H8140 of Cyrus ^H3567 king ^H4430 of Babylon ^H895, King ^H4430 Cyrus ^H3567 issued ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 to rebuild ^H1124 this ^H1836 house ^H1005 of God ^H426.

“So now ^H3705 if ^H2006 it seems ^H2869 good ^H2869 to the king ^H4430, let a search ^H1240 be made ^H1240 in the king’s ^H4430 treasure ^H1596 house ^H1005, which ^H1768 is there ^H8536 in Babylon ^H895, if ^H2006 it be that a decree ^H2942 was issued ^H7761 by King ^H4430 Cyrus ^H3567 to rebuild ^H1124 that ^H1791 house ^H1005 of God ^H426 in Jerusalem ^H3390; and let the king ^H4430 send ^H7972 to us his will ^H7470 concerning ^H5922 this ^H1836 matter.”

Then ^H116 King ^H4430 Darius ^H1868 issued ^H7761 a decree ^H2942, and a search ^H1240 was made ^H1240 in the [fn]archives ^H1005 H5609, where ^H1768 H8536 the treasures ^H1596 were deposited ^H5182 in Babylon ^H895.

“In the first ^H2298 year ^H8140 of King ^H4430 Cyrus ^H3567, Cyrus ^H3567 the king ^H4430 issued ^H7761 a decree ^H2942:

‘Concerning the house ^H1005 of God ^H426 in Jerusalem ^H3390, let that house ^H1005, the place ^H870 where ^H1768 sacrifices ^H1685 are offered ^H1684, be rebuilt ^H1124 and let its foundations ^H787 be [fn]retained ^H5446, its height ^H7314 being [fn]60 ^H8361 cubits ^H521 and its width ^H6613 60 ^H8361 cubits ^H521;

“Moreover, I issue ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 concerning what ^H4101 H1768 you shall do ^H5648 for those ^H479 elders ^H7868 of Judah ^H3062 in the rebuilding ^H1124 of that ^H1791 house ^H1005 of God ^H426: the full ^H629 cost ^H5313 is to be given ^H3052 to those ^H479 people ^H1400 from the royal ^H4430 treasury ^H5232 out of the tribute ^H4061 of the provinces beyond ^H5675 the River ^H5103, and that without ^H3809 negligence ^H989.

“And I issued ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 that any ^H3606 man ^H606 who ^H1768 violates ^H8133 this ^H1836 edict ^H6600, a timber ^H636 shall be pulled ^H5256 out ^H5256 from his house ^H1005 and he shall be impaled ^H2211 H4223 on it and his house ^H1005 shall be made ^H5648 a refuse ^H5122 heap ^H5122 on account ^H5922 of this ^H1836.

I have issued ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 that any ^H3606 of the people ^H5972 of Israel ^H3479 and their priests ^H3549 and the Levites ^H3879 in my kingdom ^H4437 who ^H1768 freely ^H5069 offer ^H5069 to go ^H1981 to Jerusalem ^H3390, may go ^H1981 with you.

“So I, even I, King ^H4430 Artaxerxes ^H783, issue ^H7761 a decree ^H2942 to all ^H3606 the treasurers ^H1490 who ^H1768 are in the provinces beyond ^H5675 the [fn]River ^H5103, that whatever ^H3606 H1768 Ezra ^H5831 the priest ^H3549, the scribe ^H5613 of the law ^H1882 of the God ^H426 of heaven ^H8065, may ask ^H7593 of you, it shall be done ^H5648 with all ^H629 diligence ^H629,

Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841 replied ^H8421 with discretion ^H5843 and discernment ^H2942 to Arioch ^H746, the captain ^H7229 of the king’s ^H4430 [fn]bodyguard ^H2877, who ^H1768 had gone ^H5312 forth ^H5312 to kill ^H6992 the wise ^H2445 men ^H2445 of Babylon ^H895;

For He is the living ^H2417 God ^H426 and enduring ^H7011 forever ^H5957,

And His kingdom ^H4437 is one which ^H1768 will not be destroyed ^H2255,

And His [fn]dominion ^H7985 will be unto the end ^H5491.
