This [01836] is the copy [06573] of the letter [0104] that [01768] they sent [07972] unto him [05922], even unto Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04430]; Thy servants [05649] the men [0606] on this side [05675] the river [05103], and at such a time [03706].
Now [03705] because [03606] [06903] we have [01768] maintenance [04416] [04415] from the king's palace [01965], and it was not [03809] meet [0749] for us to see [02370] the king's [04430] dishonour [06173], therefore [01836] [05922] have we sent [07972] and certified [03046] the king [04430];we have…: Chaldee, we are salted with the salt of the palace
That search [01240] may be made in the book [05609] of the records [01799] of thy fathers [02]: so shalt thou find [07912] in the book [05609] of the records [01799], and know [03046] that this [01791] city [07149] is a rebellious [04779] city [07149], and hurtful [05142] unto kings [04430] and provinces [04083], and that they have moved [05648] sedition [0849] within the same [01459] of [04481] old [05957] time [03118]: for [05922] which [01836] cause was this [01791] city [07149] destroyed [02718].moved: Chaldee, madewithin…: Chaldee, in the midst thereof
We [0586] certify [03046] the king [04430] that, if [02006] this [01791] city [07149] be builded [01124] again, and the walls [07792] thereof set up [03635], by this [01836] means [06903] thou shalt have [0383] no [03809] portion [02508] on this side [05675] the river [05103].
Take heed [02095] [01934] now that ye fail [07960] not to do [05648] [05922] this [01836]: why [04101] should damage [02257] grow [07680] to the hurt [05142] of the kings [04430]?
At the same time [02166] came [0858] to them Tatnai, governor [06347] on this side [05675] the river [05103], and Shethar–boznai [08370], and their companions [03675], and said [0560] thus [03652] unto them [05922], Who [04479] hath commanded [02942] [07761] you to build [01124] this [01836] house [01005], and to make up [03635] this [01836] wall [0846]?
Then [0116] said [0560] we unto them after this manner [03660], What [04479] are [0581] the names [08036] of the men [01400] that make [01124] this [01836] building [01147]?make: Chaldee, build
But the eye [05870] of their God [0426] was [01934] upon [05922] the elders [07868] of the Jews [03062], that they could not [03809] cause [0989] them [01994] to cease [0989], till [05705] the matter [02941] came [01946] to Darius [01868]: and then [0116] they returned answer [08421] by letter [05407] concerning [05922] this [01836] matter.
They sent [07972] a letter [06600] unto [05922] him, wherein [01459] was written [03790] thus [01836]; Unto Darius [01868] the king [04430], all [03606] peace [08001].wherein: Chaldee, in the midst whereof
Then [0116] asked [07593] we those [0479] elders [07868], and said [0560] unto them thus [03660], Who [04479] commanded [02942] [07761] you to build [01124] this [01836] house [01005], and to make up [03635] these [01836] walls [0846]?
And thus [03660] they returned [08421] us answer [06600], saying [0560], We [0586] are [01994] the servants [05649] of the God [0426] of heaven [08065] and earth [0772], and build [01124] the house [01005] that was [01934] builded [01124] these [01836] many [07690] years [08140] ago [06928], which a great [07229] king [04430] of Israel [03479] builded [01124] and set up [03635].
But [03861] after [04481] that our fathers [02] had provoked [07265] the God [0426] of heaven [08065] unto wrath [07265], he gave [03052] them [01994] into the hand [03028] of Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] of Babylon [0895], the Chaldean [03679], who destroyed [05642] this [01836] house [01005], and carried [01541] the people [05972] away [01541] into Babylon [0895].
But [01297] in the first [02298] year [08140] of Cyrus [03567] the king [04430] of Babylon [0895] the same king [04430] Cyrus [03567] made [07761] a decree [02942] to build [01124] this [01836] house [01005] of God [0426].
Now [03705] therefore, if [02006] it seem good [02869] to [05922] the king [04430], let there be search [01240] made in the king's [04430] treasure [01596] house [01005], which is there [08536] at Babylon [0895], whether [02006] it be [0383] so, that a decree [02942] was made [07761] of [04481] Cyrus [03567] the king [04430] to build [01124] this [01791] house [01005] of God [0426] at Jerusalem [03390], and let the king [04430] send [07972] his pleasure [07470] to us concerning [05922] this matter [01836].
Also [04481] I have made [07761] a decree [02942], that whosoever [0606] [03606] shall alter [08133] this [01836] word [06600], let timber [0636] be pulled down [05256] from [04481] his house [01005], and being set up [02211], let him be hanged [04223] thereon [05922]; and let his house [01005] be made [05648] a dunghill [05122] for [05922] this [01836].let him…: Chaldee, let him be destroyed
And this [01836] house [01005] was finished [03319] on [05705] the third [08532] day [03118] of the month [03393] Adar [0144], which was [01932] in the sixth [08353] year [08140] of the reign [04437] of Darius [01868] the king [04430].
And the children [01123] of Israel [03479], the priests [03549], and the Levites [03879], and the rest [07606] of the children [01123] of the captivity [01547], kept [05648] the dedication [02597] of this [01836] house [01005] of God [0426] with joy [02305],the children of the captivity: Chaldee, the sons of the transportation
And offered [07127] at the dedication [02597] of this [01836] house [01005] of God [0426] an hundred [03969] bullocks [08450], two hundred [03969] rams [01798], four [0703] hundred [03969] lambs [0563]; and for a sin offering [02409] [02402] for [05922] all [03606] Israel [03479], twelve [06236] [08648] he [06841] goats [05796], according to the number [04510] of the tribes [07625] of Israel [03479].
That [06903] [03606] thou mayest buy [07066] speedily [0629] with this [01836] money [03702] bullocks [08450], rams [01798], lambs [0563], with their meat offerings [04504] and their drink offerings [05261], and offer [07127] them [01994] upon [05922] the altar [04056] of the house [01005] of your God [0426] which is in Jerusalem [03390].
Also we certify [03046] you, that touching any [03606] of the priests [03549] and Levites [03879], singers [02171], porters [08652], Nethinims [05412], or ministers [06399] of this [01836] house [01005] of God [0426], it shall not [03809] be lawful [07990] to impose [07412] toll [04061], tribute [01093], or custom [01983], upon [05922] them.
