Book 15        Ezra

15:001:001 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word
           of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the
           LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he
           made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it
           also in writing, saying,

15:001:002 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath
           given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me
           to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

15:001:003 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him,
           and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build
           the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is
           in Jerusalem.

15:001:004 And 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 God that is in Jerusalem.

15:001:005 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin,
           and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit
           God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which
           is in Jerusalem.

15:001:006 And all they that were about them strengthened their hands
           with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with
           beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was
           willingly offered.

15:001:007 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of
           the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of
           Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;

15:001:008 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of
           Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar,
           the prince of Judah.

15:001:009 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a
           thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,

15:001:010 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four
           hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.

15:001:011 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and
           four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of
           the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto
           Jerusalem.

15:002:001 Now these are the children of the province that went up out of
           the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom
           Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto
           Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one
           unto his city;

15:002:002 Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah,
           Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mizpar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah.
