Ezra 7 (kjv)

Now after^H310 these things^H1697, in the reign^H4438 of Artaxerxes^H783 king^H4428 of Persia^H6539, Ezra^H5830 the son^H1121 of Seraiah^H8304, the son^H1121 of Azariah^H5838, the son^H1121 of Hilkiah^H2518,²The son^H1121 of Shallum^H7967, the son^H1121 of Zadok^H6659, the son^H1121 of Ahitub^H285,³The son^H1121 of Amariah^H568, the son^H1121 of Azariah^H5838, the son^H1121 of Meraioth^H4812,⁴The son^H1121 of Zerahiah^H2228, the son^H1121 of Uzzi^H5813, the son^H1121 of Bukki^H1231,⁵The son^H1121 of Abishua^H50, the son^H1121 of Phinehas^H6372, the son^H1121 of Eleazar^H499, the son^H1121 of Aaron^H175 the chief^H7218 priest^H3548:⁶This Ezra^H5830 went up^H5927 from Babylon^H894; and he was a ready^H4106 scribe^H5608 in the law^H8451 of Moses^H4872, which the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 had given^H5414: and the king^H4428 granted^H5414 him all his request^H1246, according to the hand^H3027 of the LORD^H3068 his God^H430 upon him.⁷And there went up^H5927 some of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, and of the priests^H3548, and the Levites^H3881, and the singers^H7891, and the porters^H7778, and the Nethinims^H5411, unto Jerusalem^H3389, in the seventh^H7651 year^H8141 of Artaxerxes^H783 the king^H4428.⁸And he came^H935 to Jerusalem^H3389 in the fifth^H2549 month^H2320, which was in the seventh^H7637 year^H8141 of the king^H4428.⁹For upon the first^H259 day of the first^H7223 month^H2320 began^H3246 he to go up^H4609 from Babylon^H894, and on the first^H259 day of the fifth^H2549 month^H2320 came^H935 he to Jerusalem^H3389, according to the good^H2896 hand^H3027 of his God^H430 upon him.¹⁰For Ezra^H5830 had prepared^H3559 his heart^H3824 to seek^H1875 the law^H8451 of the LORD^H3068, and to do^H6213 it, and to teach^H3925 in Israel^H3478 statutes^H2706 and judgments^H4941.

¹¹Now this is the copy^H6572 of the letter^H5406 that the king^H4428 Artaxerxes^H783 gave^H5414 unto Ezra^H5830 the priest^H3548, the scribe^H5608, even a scribe^H5608 of the words^H1697 of the commandments^H4687 of the LORD^H3068, and of his statutes^H2706 to Israel^H3478.¹²Artaxerxes^H783, king^H4430 of kings^H4430, unto Ezra^H5831 the priest^H3549, a scribe^H5613 of the law^H1882 of the God^H426 of heaven^H8065, perfect^H1585 peace, and at such a time^H3706.¹³I^H4481 make^H7761 a decree^H2942, that all^H3606 they of^H4481 the people^H5972 of Israel^H3479, and of his priests^H3549 and Levites^H3879, in my realm^H4437, which are minded of their own freewill^H5069 to go up^H1946 to Jerusalem^H3390, go^H1946 with thee^H5974.¹⁴Forasmuch^{H1768 H6903} as^H3606 thou art sent^H7972 of^{H4481 H6925} the king^H4430, and of his seven^H7655 counsellors^H3272, to enquire^H1240 concerning^H5922 Judah^H3061 and Jerusalem^H3390, according to the law^H1882 of thy God^H426 which is in thine hand^H3028;¹⁵And to carry^H2987 the silver^H3702 and gold^H1722, which the king^H4430 and his counsellors^H3272 have freely offered^H5069 unto the God^H426 of Israel^H3479, whose^H1768 habitation^H4907 is in Jerusalem^H3390,¹⁶And all^H3606 the silver^H3702 and gold^H1722 that thou canst find^H7912 in all^H3606 the province^H4083 of Babylon^H895, with^H5974 the freewill offering^H5069 of the people^H5972, and of the priests^H3549, offering willingly^H5069 for the house^H1005 of their God^H426 which is in Jerusalem^H3390:¹⁷That^{H3606 H6903} thou mayest buy^H7066 speedily^H629 with this^H1836 money^H3702 bullocks^H8450, rams^H1798, lambs^H563, with their meat offerings^H4504 and their drink offerings^H5261, and offer^H7127 them^H1994 upon^H5922 the altar^H4056 of the house^H1005 of your God^H426 which is in Jerusalem^H3390.¹⁸And whatsoever^{H4101 H1768} shall seem good^H3191 to thee, and to^H5922 thy brethren^H252, to do^H5648 with the rest^H7606 of the silver^H3702 and the gold^H1722, that do^H5648 after the will^H7470 of your God^H426.¹⁹The vessels^H3984 also that are given^H3052 thee for the service^H6402 of the house^H1005 of thy God^H426, those deliver^H8000 thou before^H6925 the God^H426 of Jerusalem^H3390.²⁰And whatsoever more^H7606 shall be needful^H2819 for the house^H1005 of thy God^H426, which thou shalt have occasion^H5308 to bestow^H5415, bestow^H5415 it out of^H4481 the king's^H4430 treasure^H1596 house^H1005.²¹And I^H4481, even I^H576 Artaxerxes^H783 the king^H4430, do make^H7761 a decree^H2942 to all^H3606 the treasurers^H1490 which are beyond^H5675 the river^H5103, that whatsoever Ezra^H5831 the priest^H3549, the scribe^H5613 of the law^H1882 of the God^H426 of heaven^H8065, shall require^H7593 of you, it be done^H5648 speedily^H629,²²Unto^H5705 an hundred^H3969 talents^H3604 of silver^H3702, and to an hundred^H3969 measures^H3734 of wheat^H2591, and to an hundred^H3969 baths^H1325 of wine^H2562, and to an hundred^H3969 baths^H1325 of oil^H4887, and salt^H4416 without^H3809 prescribing^H3792 how much.²³Whatsoever^H3606 is commanded by^{H2941 H4481} the God^H426 of heaven^H8065, let it be diligently^H149 done^H5648 for the house^H1005 of the God^H426 of heaven^H8065: for^H1768 why^H4101 should there be^H1934 wrath^H7109 against^H5922 the realm^H4437 of the king^H4430 and his sons^H1123?²⁴Also we certify^H3046 you, that touching any^H3606 of the priests^H3549 and Levites^H3879, singers^H2171, porters^H8652, Nethinims^H5412, or ministers^H6399 of this^H1836 house^H1005 of God^H426, it shall not^H3809 be lawful^H7990 to impose^H7412 toll^H4061, tribute^H1093, or custom^H1983, upon^H5922 them.²⁵And thou^H607, Ezra^H5831, after the wisdom^H2452 of thy God^H426, that is in thine hand^H3028, set^H4483 magistrates^H8200 and judges^H1782, which may judge^{H1934 H1778} all^H3606 the people^H5972 that are beyond^H5675 the river^H5103, all^H3606 such as know^H3046 the laws^H1882 of thy God^H426; and teach^H3046 ye them that know^H3046 them not^H3809.²⁶And whosoever^H3606 will not^H3809 do^{H1934 H5648} the law^H1882 of thy God^H426, and the law^H1882 of the king^H4430, let judgment^H1780 be^H1934 executed^H5648 speedily^H629 upon him^H4481, whether^H2006 it be unto death^H4193, or^H2006 to banishment^H8332, or^H2006 to confiscation^H6065 of goods^H5232, or to imprisonment^H613.

²⁷Blessed^H1288 be the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of our fathers^H1, which hath put^H5414 such a thing as this in the king's^H4428 heart^H3820, to beautify^H6286 the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068 which is in Jerusalem^H3389:²⁸And hath extended^H5186 mercy^H2617 unto me before^H6440 the king^H4428, and his counsellors^H3289, and before all the king's^H4428 mighty^H1368 princes^H8269. And I was strengthened^H2388 as the hand^H3027 of the LORD^H3068 my God^H430 was upon me, and I gathered together^H6908 out of Israel^H3478 chief men^H7218 to go up^H5927 with me.
